Finding tight bounds on the optimal solution is a critical element of practical solution methods for discrete optimization problems. In the last decade, decision diagrams (DDs) have brought a new perspective on obtaining upper and lower…

We consider optimal designs for general multinomial logistic models, which cover baseline-category, cumulative, adjacent-categories, and continuation-ratio logit models, with proportional odds, non-proportional odds, or partial proportional…

Let $X=X(n,q)$ be the set of $n\times n$ Hermitian matrices over $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$. It is well known that $X$ gives rise to a metric translation association scheme whose classes are induced by the rank metric. We study $d$-codes in this…

In this paper we provide an analytical procedure which leads to a system of $(n-2)^2$ polynomial equations whose solutions give the parameterisation of the complex $n\times n$ Hadamard matrices. It is shown that in general the Hadamard…

This paper deals with the problem of robust matrix completion -- retrieving a low-rank matrix and a sparse matrix from the compressed counterpart of their superposition. Though seemingly not an unresolved issue, we point out that the…

In discrete choice experiments, the information matrix depends on the model parameters. Therefore designing optimally informative experiments for arbitrary initial parameters often yields highly nonlinear optimization problems and makes…

In this paper, we propose two simple yet efficient computational algorithms to obtain approximate optimal designs for multi-dimensional linear regression on a large variety of design spaces. We focus on the two commonly used optimal…

In the Matching Cut problem we ask whether a graph $G$ has a matching cut, that is, a matching which is also an edge cut of $G$. We consider the variants Perfect Matching Cut and Disconnected Perfect Matching where we ask whether there…

We present improved deterministic distributed algorithms for a number of well-studied matching problems, which are simpler, faster, more accurate, and/or more general than their known counterparts. The common denominator of these results is…

We address the following general question: given a graph class C on which we can solve Maximum Matching in (quasi) linear time, does the same hold true for the class of graphs that can be modularly decomposed into C ? A major difficulty in…

We consider the problem of finding the smallest or largest entry of a tensor of order N that is specified via its rank decomposition. Stated in a different way, we are given N sets of R-dimensional vectors and we wish to select one vector…

Balancedly splittable Hadamard matrices are introduced and studied. A connection is made to the Hadamard diagonalizable strongly regular graphs, maximal equiangular lines set, and unbiased Hadamard matrices. Several construction methods are…

A non-redundant integer cone generator (NICG) of dimension $d$ is a set $S$ of vectors from $\{0,1\}^d$ whose vector sum cannot be generated as a positive integer linear combination of a proper subset of $S$. The largest possible…

We consider the problem of obtaining D-optimal designs for factorial experiments with a binary response and $k$ qualitative factors each at two levels. We obtain a characterization for a design to be locally D-optimal. Based on this…

We comment on two randomized algorithms for constructing low-rank matrix decompositions. Both algorithms employ the Subsampled Randomized Hadamard Transform [14]. The first algorithm appeared recently in [9]; here, we provide a novel…

An $n$ by $n$ skew-symmetric type $(-1,1)$-matrix $K=[k_{i,j}]$ has $1$'s on the main diagonal and $\pm 1$'s elsewhere with $k_{i,j}=-k_{j,i}$. The largest possible determinant of such a matrix $K$ is an interesting problem. The literature…

We construct Hadamard matrices of orders 4x251 = 1004 and 4x631 = 2524, and skew-Hadamard matrices of orders 4x213 = 852 and 4x631 = 2524. As far as we know, such matrices have not been constructed previously. The constructions use the…

Hadamard matrices are $(-1, +1)$ square matrices with mutually orthogonal rows. The Hadamard conjecture states that Hadamard matrices of order $n$ exist whenever $n$ is $1$, $2$, or a multiple of $4$. However, no construction is known that…
