Hi All
I am implementing a bender decomposition based algorithm for my supply chain network design problem by using IBM ILOG concert tech. 12.3. I am not using bendersCallback , instead every iteration I am solving dual formulation of the sub problem to generate cut to the master problem. I am tracking the added cut to the master problem at each iteration. After several iterations , I found that same cut is added to the master problem and the cut look like w[1]+w[2]+w[3]+w[7]==0 for binary variable set w[i] in the master problem.In fact I have three types of integer variable in the master problem.Can anyone please give me an idea what could be reason behind of it?
Thanks in advance.

The first thing to do is check to verify that the cut being added is actually violated by the master solution that generates it. The most common cause of a cut being added multiple times is that the cut is generated incorrectly.
