We excluded matrices with 10 rows or 10 columns, as solution times were small. With N denoting node count, the last two columns refer to the worse case additional nodes one method required over the other. We remark that the node count for the first group is 1 for all instances, as the problem was sufficiently easy to solve without a branch-and-cut procedure. We set the time limit of 10 min in these experiments
