This paper studies the problem of reconstructing binary matrices that are only accessible through few evaluations of their discrete X-rays. Such question is prominently motivated by the demand in material science for developing a tool for…
We present an algorithm for computing circuit polynomials in the algebraic rigidity matroid $\mathcal{A}(\text{CM}_n)$ associated to the Cayley-Menger ideal CM$_n$ for $n$ points in 2D. It relies on combinatorial resultants, a new operation…
Graphings serve as limit objects for bounded-degree graphs. We define the ``cycle matroid'' of a graphing as a submodular setfunction, with values in [0,1], which generalizes (up to normalization) the cycle matroid of finite graphs. We…
We give a combinatorial characterization of generic frameworks that are minimally rigid under the additional constraint of maintaining symmetry with respect to a finite order rotation or a reflection. To establish these results we develop a…
A high-order quadrature algorithm is presented for computing integrals over curved surfaces and volumes whose geometry is implicitly defined by the level sets of (one or more) multivariate polynomials. The algorithm recasts the implicitly…
We study Dressians of matroids using the initial matroids of Dress and Wenzel. These correspond to cells in regular matroid subdivisions of matroid polytopes. An efficient algorithm for computing Dressians is presented, and its…
We investigate properties of Ehrhart polynomials for matroid polytopes, independence matroid polytopes, and polymatroids. In the first half of the paper we prove that for fixed rank their Ehrhart polynomials are computable in polynomial…
We consider the rank reduction problem for matroids: Given a matroid M and an integer k, find a minimum size subset of elements of M whose removal reduces the rank of M by at least k. When M is a graphical matroid this problem is the…
Finding diverse solutions in combinatorial problems recently has received considerable attention (Baste et al. 2020; Fomin et al. 2020; Hanaka et al. 2021). In this paper we study the following type of problems: given an integer $k$, the…

Consider a collection of points in the plane and the sets of slopes or directions of the lines between pairs of points. It is known that the algebraic matroid on the set of direction constraints between the points is equivalent to the…
We consider the problem of inference in higher-order undirected graphical models with binary labels. We formulate this problem as a binary polynomial optimization problem and propose several linear programming relaxations for it. We compare…
The matroid parity (or matroid matching) problem, introduced as a common generalization of matching and matroid intersection problems, is so general that it requires an exponential number of oracle calls. Nevertheless, Lov\'asz (1980)…
Graph isomorphism problem is a known hard problem. In this paper, a novel randomized algorithm is proposed for this problem which is very simple and fast. It solves the graph isomorphism problem with running time O(n^2.373) for any pair of…
