摘要：We study rectangle stabbing problems in which we are given n axis-aligned rectangles in the plane that we want to stab, that is, we want to select line segments such that for each given rectangle there is a line segment that intersects two opposite edges of it. In the horizontal rectangle stabbing problem (Stabbing), the goal is to find a set of horizontal line segments of minimum total length such that all rectangles are stabbed. In the horizontal-vertical stabbing problem (HV-Stabbing), the ...

摘要：An intensive line of research on fixed parameter tractability of integer programming is focused on exploiting the relation between the sparsity of a constraint matrix A and the norm of the elements of its Graver basis. In particular, integer programming is fixed parameter tractable when parameterized by the primal tree-depth and the entry complexity of A, and when parameterized by the dual tree-depth and the entry complexity of A; both these parameterization imply that A is sparse, in particul...

摘要：We consider the multilinear polytope defined as the convex hull of the set of binary points z, satisfying a collection of equations of the form z(e) = Pi (upsilon is an element of e) z(upsilon) for all e is an element of E. The complexity of the facial structure of the multilinear polytope is closely related to the acyclicity degree of the underlying hypergraph. We obtain a polynomial-size extended formulation for the multilinear polytope of ss-acyclic hypergraphs, hence characterizing the acy...

摘要：In this work, we develop a new complexity metric for an important class of low-rank matrix optimization problems in both symmetric and asymmetric cases, where the metric aims to quantify the complexity of the nonconvex optimization landscape of each problem and the success of local search methods in solving the problem. The existing literature has focused on two recovery guarantees. The RIP constant is commonly used to characterize the complexity of matrix sensing problems. On the other hand, ...

摘要：The first part of this work established the foundations of a radial duality between nonnegative optimization problems, inspired by the work of Renegar (SIAM J Optim 26(4): 2649-2676, 2016). Here we utilize our radial duality theory to design and analyze projection-free optimization algorithms that operate by solving a radially dual problem. In particular, we consider radial subgradient, smoothing, and accelerated methods that are capable of solving a range of constrained convex and nonconvex o...

摘要：Strategic information is valuable either by remaining private (for instance if it is sensitive) or, on the other hand, by being used publicly to increase some utility. These two objectives are antagonistic and leaking this information by taking full advantage of it might be more rewarding than concealing it. Unlike classical solutions that focus on the first point, we consider instead agents that optimize a natural trade-off between both objectives. We formalize this as an optimization problem...

摘要：One of the most important stability concepts for network formation is pairwise stability. We develop a homotopy algorithm that is effective in computing pairwise stable networks for a generic network formation problem. To do so, we reformulate the concept of pairwise stability as a Nash equilibrium of a non-cooperative game played by the links in the network and adapt the linear tracing procedure for non-cooperative games to the network formation problem. As a by-product of our main result, we...

摘要：There has been significant work recently on integer programs (IPs) min{c(inverted perpendicular)x:Ax <= b,x is an element of Z(n)} with a constraint marix A with bounded subdeterminants. This is motivated by a well-known conjecture claiming that, for any constant Delta is an element of Z(>0), Delta-modular IPs are efficiently solvable, which are IPs where the constraint matrix A is an element of Zmxn has full column rank and all nxn minors of A are within {-Delta,& mldr;,Delta}. Previous progr...

摘要：We consider the complex cut polytope: the convex hull of Hermitian rank 1 matrices xx(H), where the elements of x is an element of C-n aremth unit roots. These polytopes have appli-cations in MAX-3-CUT, digital communication technology, angular synchronizationand more generally, complex quadratic programming. Form=2, the complex cutpolytope corresponds to the well-known cut polytope. We generalize valid cuts for this polytope to cuts for any complex cut poly tope with finitem>2 and provide a f...

摘要：We study piecewise affine policies for multi-stage adjustable robust optimization (ARO) problems with non-negative right-hand side uncertainty. First, we construct new dominating uncertainty sets and show how a multi-stage ARO problem can be solved efficiently with a linear program when uncertainty is replaced by these new sets. We then demonstrate how solutions for this alternative problem can be transformed into solutions for the original problem. By carefully choosing the dominating sets, w...
