A Mazur-Orlicz type theorem for submodular set functions

open access: yesJournal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 1986
Let \({\mathcal L}\) be a lattice of subsets of a given set \(\Omega\) with \(\emptyset \in {\mathcal L}\). A function \(\gamma:{\mathcal L}\to {\mathbb{R}}\cup \{- \infty \}\) is called a submodular (modular) set function if \(\gamma (\emptyset)=0\) and \[ \gamma (A\cup B)+\gamma (A\cap B)\leq (=)\gamma (A)+\gamma (B),\quad A\in {\mathcal L},\quad B ...

Balanced sets in an independence structure induced by a submodular function

open access: yesJournal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 1983
AbstractA submodular (and non-decreasing) function on a set induces an independence structure; the notion of a “balanced” set in this situation helps us determine whether a given independence structure is induced by any submodular function other than its own rank function, answering a question of U. S. R. Murty and I. Simon.

On the Initial Set of Constraints for Graph-Based Submodular Function Maximization

open access: yesActa Cybernetica
A crucial problem in combinatorial optimization is the submodular function maximization (SFM), and in many cases it involves graphs on which the maximization is specified. The problem is well-studied and hence there are several proposed algorithms in the literature.

On Equivalence of M$^\natural$-concavity of a Set Function and Submodularity of Its Conjugate

open access: yes, 2017
A fundamental theorem in discrete convex analysis states that a set function is M$^\natural$-concave if and only if its conjugate function is submodular. This paper gives a new proof to this fact.
