Deterministic Algorithms for Submodular Maximization Problems

open access: yes, 2015
Randomization is a fundamental tool used in many theoretical and practical areas of computer science. We study here the role of randomization in the area of submodular function maximization.

Same/Other/All K‐Fold Cross‐Validation for Estimating Similarity of Patterns in Data Subsets

open access: yesStatistical Analysis and Data Mining: An ASA Data Science Journal, Volume 19, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT In many real‐world applications of machine learning, we are interested to know if it is possible to train on the data that we have gathered so far, and obtain accurate predictions on a new test data subset that is qualitatively different in some respect (time period, geographic region, etc.).

On Constructing Finite, Finitely Subadditive Outer Measures, and Submodularity

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2008
Given a nonempty abstract set 𝑋, and a covering class 𝒞, and a finite, finitely subadditive outer measure 𝜈, we construct an outer measure 𝜈 and investigate conditions for 𝜈 to be submodular. We then consider several other set functions associated with 𝜈

Submodular Optimization with Submodular Cover and Submodular Knapsack Constraints [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We investigate two new optimization problems -- minimizing a submodular function subject to a submodular lower bound constraint (submodular cover) and maximizing a submodular function subject to a submodular upper bound constraint (submodular knapsack ...

On Some Algorithmic and Structural Results on Flames

open access: yesJournal of Graph Theory, Volume 110, Issue 4, Page 392-397, December 2025.
ABSTRACT A directed graph F with a root node r is called a flame if for every vertex v other than r the local edge‐connectivity value λ F ( r , v ) from r to v is equal to ϱ F ( v ), the in‐degree of v. It is a classic, simple and beautiful result of Lovász [4] that every digraph D with a root node r has a spanning subgraph F that is a flame and the λ (

Streaming Algorithms for Submodular Function Maximization

open access: yes, 2015
We consider the problem of maximizing a nonnegative submodular set function $f:2^{\mathcal{N}} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^+$ subject to a $p$-matchoid constraint in the single-pass streaming setting.

Improved algorithms for submodular function minimization and submodular flow [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the thirty-second annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing, 2000
Very recently, two groups of researchers independently developed the first combinatorial, strongly polynomial-time algorithms for submodular function minimization (Iwata, Fleischer, Fujishige; and Schrijver). In this paper, we improve on these algorithms and show that the ideas generated in the design of these algorithms are helpful in other contexts ...

Control Node Placement and Structural Controllability of Water Quality Dynamics in Drinking Networks

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Chlorine, the most widely used disinfectant, needs to be adequately distributed in water distribution networks (WDNs) to maintain consistent residual levels and ensure safe water. This is performed through control node injections at the treatment plant and via booster stations distributed across the WDNs.

Algorithms for Approximate Minimization of the Difference Between Submodular Functions, with Applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We extend the work of Narasimhan and Bilmes [30] for minimizing set functions representable as a difference between submodular functions. Similar to [30], our new algorithms are guaranteed to monotonically reduce the objective function at every step.
