How to see the forest despite the trees
Abstract One of the major starting points of discrete optimization is the theorem of Nash‐Williams and Tutte on the existence of k$k$ disjoint spanning trees of a graph, along with its counterpart on the existence of k$k$ forests covering all edges of the graph.

Lower bounds for cube‐ideal set‐systems
Abstract A set‐system S⊆{0,1}n$S\subseteq \lbrace 0,1\rbrace ^n$ is cube‐ideal if its convex hull can be described by capacity and generalized set covering inequalities. In this paper, we use combinatorics, convex geometry, and polyhedral theory to give exponential lower bounds on the size of cube‐ideal set‐systems, and linear lower bounds on their ...

The expressibility of functions on the Boolean domain, with applications to Counting CSPs [PDF]
An important tool in the study of the complexity of Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs) is the notion of a relational clone, which is the set of all relations expressible using primitive positive formulas over a particular set of base relations. Post'

Streaming and Matching Problems with Submodular Functions [PDF]
Submodular functions are a widely studied topic in theoretical computer science. They have found several applications both theoretical and practical in the fields of economics, combinatorial optimization and machine learning.

Efficient investment, search, and sorting in matching markets
We study markets where heterogeneous agents first make investment decisions and then engage in a costly search to form productive matches. The trading process is a random search and bargaining with explicit search costs. Despite potential hold‐up and matching problems, we prove that the constrained efficient allocation is an equilibrium: the agents ...

ABSTRACT Networked control systems (NCSs) often suffer from performance degradation due to limited communication bandwidth, which can cause data transmission conflicts and packet loss. Existing scheduling strategies may fail to simultaneously meet the real‐time requirements and the importance of multisensor data, and they are particularly vulnerable ...

Approximating Submodular Functions Everywhere
URL to paper from conference siteSubmodular functions are a key concept in combinatorial optimization. Algorithms that involve submodular functions usually assume that they are given by a (value) oracle.

Polymatroidal tilings and the Chow class of linked projective spaces
Abstract Linked projective spaces are quiver Grassmannians of constant dimension one of certain quiver representations, called linked nets, over certain quivers, called Zn$\mathbb {Z}^n$‐quivers. They were recently introduced as a tool for describing schematic limits of families of divisors.

Maximizing bisubmodular and k-submodular functions
Submodular functions play a key role in combinatorial optimization and in the study of valued constraint satisfaction problems. Recently, there has been interest in the class of bisubmodular functions, which assign values to disjoint pairs of sets.
