Abstract

The {\em line sum optimization problem} asks for a (0,1)(0,1)-matrix minimizing the sum of given functions evaluated at its row and column sums. We show that the {\em uniform} problem, with identical row functions and identical column functions, and the {\em monotone} problem, over matrices with nonincreasing row and column sums, are polynomial time solvable.
