Parametrizing an integer linear program by an integer
Abstract
We consider a family of integer linear programs in which the coefficients of the constraints and objective function are polynomials of an integer parameter For in we define to be the largest value of the objective function with multiplicity for the integer linear program at We prove that for all is eventually quasi-polynomial; that is, there exists and polynomials such that for sufficiently large Closely related to finding the largest value is describing the vertices of the convex hull of the feasible set. Calegari and Walker showed that if is the convex hull of where is a vector whose coordinates are in and of size then the vertices of the convex hull of the set of lattice points in has eventually quasi-polynomial structure. We prove this without the assumption.
