Submodular function minimization and polarity [PDF]

open access: yesMathematical Programming, 2021
Using polarity, we give an outer polyhedral approximation for the epigraph of set functions. For a submodular function, we prove that the corresponding polar relaxation is exact; hence, it is equivalent to the Lovász extension. The polar approach provides an alternative proof for the convex hull description of the epigraph of a submodular function ...

Decomposition of submodular functions

Combinatorica, 1983
A decomposition theory for submodular functions is described. Any such function is shown to have a unique decomposition consisting of indecomposable functions and certain highly decomposable functions, and the latter are completely characterized. Applications include decompositions of hypergraphs based on edge and vertex connectivity, the decomposition

Submodular functions and convexity

1983
In “continuous” optimization convex functions play a central role. Besides elementary tools like differentiation, various methods for finding the minimum of a convex function constitute the main body of nonlinear optimization. But even linear programming may be viewed as the optimization of very special (linear) objective functions over very special ...

Minimizing a Submodular Function on a Lattice

Operations Research, 1978
This paper gives general conditions under which a collection of optimization problems, with the objective function and the constraint set depending on a parameter, has optimal solutions that are an isotone function of the parameter. Relating to this, we present a theory that explores and elaborates on the problem of minimizing a submodular function on
