A linear time algorithm for a variant of the max cut problem in series parallel graphs [PDF]
Given a graph $G=(V, E)$, a connected sides cut $(U, V\backslash U)$ or $\delta (U)$ is the set of edges of E linking all vertices of U to all vertices of $V\backslash U$ such that the induced subgraphs $G[U]$ and $G[V\backslash U]$ are connected.

A fast branch-and-bound algorithm for non-convex quadratic integer optimization subject to linear constraints using ellipsoidal relaxations [PDF]
We propose two exact approaches for non-convex quadratic integer minimization subject to linear constraints where lower bounds are computed by considering ellipsoidal relaxations of the feasible set.

Cones of closed alternating walks and trails [PDF]
Consider a graph whose edges have been colored red and blue. Assign a nonnegative real weight to every edge so that at every vertex, the sum of the weights of the incident red edges equals the sum of the weights of the incident blue edges. The set of all

Certificates of infeasibility via nonsmooth optimization [PDF]
An important aspect in the solution process of constraint satisfaction problems is to identify exclusion boxes which are boxes that do not contain feasible points.

GENETIC ALGORITHM WITH GREEDY CROSSOVER AND ELITISM FOR CAPACITY PLANNING [PDF]
We propose a modification to the genetic algorithm with greedy agglomerative crossover operator for the problem of scheduling product types at the facilities of the metal or plastic production factory where the goal is to minimize the number of ...

Polygons as Sections of Higher-Dimensional Polytopes [PDF]
We show that every heptagon is a section of a 3-polytope with 6 vertices. This implies that every n-gon with n≥7 can be obtained as a section of a (2+⌊n7⌋)-dimensional polytope with at most ⌈6n7⌉ vertices; and provides a geometric proof of the fact that ...

Polytopes related to interval vectors and incidence matrices [PDF]
In this short note we investigate polytopes associated with families of interval vectors, i.e., (0,1)-vectors with consecutive ones. Using a linear transformation we show a connection to “extended” incidence matrices of acyclic directed graphs and the ...

Symmetric, Hankel-symmetric, and Centrosymmetric Doubly Stochastic Matrices [PDF]
We investigate convex polytopes of doubly stochastic matrices having special structures: symmetric, Hankel symmetric, centrosymmetric, and both symmetric and Hankel symmetric.

Integer Polynomial Optimization in Fixed Dimension
We classify, according to their computational complexity, integer optimization problems whose constraints and objective functions are polynomials with integer coefficients and the number of variables is fixed.
