We present an accelerated relax-and-round algorithm for concave coverage problems, which generalize the classic maximum coverage problem. Building on the relax-and-round framework of Barman et al. [STACS 2021], we propose two significant…

We investigate three competing notions that generalize the notion of a facet of finite-dimensional polyhedra to the infinite-dimensional Gomory-Johnson model. These notions were known to coincide for continuous piecewise linear functions…

We study a semidefinite programming relaxation of the traveling salesman problem introduced by de Klerk, Pasechnik, and Sotirov [8] and show that their relaxation has an unbounded integrality gap. In particular, we give a family of…

Existentially closed groups are, informally, groups that contain solutions to every consistent finite system of equations and inequations. They were introduced in 1951 in an algebraic context and subsequent research elucidated deep…

We present a method for finding lower bounds on the global infima of integral variational problems, wherein $\int_\Omega f(x,u(x),\nabla u(x)){\rm d}x$ is minimized over functions $u\colon\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}^m$ satisfying…

$k$-submodular functions, introduced by Huber and Kolmogorov, are functions defined on $\{0, 1, 2, \dots, k\}^n$ satisfying certain submodular-type inequalities. $k$-submodular functions typically arise as relaxations of NP-hard problems,…
