A representation theorem relates different mathematical structures by providing an isomorphism between them: that is, a one-to-one correspondence preserving their original properties. Establishing that the two structures substantially…
Matrix representations are a powerful tool for designing efficient algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems such as matching, and linear matroid intersection and parity. In this paper, we initiate the study of matrix…
In this paper we study the relation of two fundamental problems in scheduling and fair allocation: makespan minimization on unrelated parallel machines and max-min fair allocation, also known as the Santa Claus problem. For both of these…
Let K be a field and G a split connected reductive affine algebraic K-group. Let T be a split maximal torus of G, W its finite Weyl group, and R its root system. After fixing a realization of R in G and choosing a simple system for R, one…
In this paper, we give a new axioms system based on nonseparable flats with their ranks to define a matroid. We deduce a polynomial time algorithm for deciding if a given matroid (respectively, arbitrary structure) is an uniform matroid.…

In this paper, we study several generalizations of multiway cut where the terminals can be chosen as \emph{representatives} from sets of \emph{candidates} $T_1,\ldots,T_q$. In this setting, one is allowed to choose these representatives so…

Graphs are widely used for representing pairwise interactions in complex systems. Since such real-world graphs are large and often evergrowing, sampling a small representative subgraph is indispensable for various purposes: simulation,…

We introduce and study Minimum Cut Representability, a framework to solve optimization and feasibility problems over stable matchings by representing them as minimum s-t cut problems on digraphs over rotations. We provide necessary and…
This paper considers the problem of solving a symmetric positive definite system of linear equations over a network of agents with arbitrary asynchronous interactions and membership dynamics. The latter implies that each agent is allowed to…
A class of discrete event synthesis problems can be reduced to solving language equations f . X ⊆ S, where F is the fixed component and S the specification. Sequential synthesis deals with FSMs when the automata for F and S are prefix…
A set family ${\cal F}$ is $uncrossable$ if $A \cap B,A \cup B \in {\cal F}$ or $A \setminus B,B \setminus A \in {\cal F}$ for any $A,B \in {\cal F}$. A classic result of Williamson, Goemans, Mihail, and Vazirani [STOC 1993:708-717] states…

The problem of scheduling conflicting jobs on parallel machines consists in assigning a set of jobs to a set of machines so that no two conflicting jobs are allocated to the same machine, and the maximum processing time among all machines…
