A fundamental theorem in discrete convex analysis states that a set function is M$^\natural$-concave if and only if its conjugate function is submodular. This paper gives a new proof to this fact.
The effect of replacing a basis element on the way the basis spans other elements is studied. This leads to a new characterization of binary matroids.
We study an operation in matroid theory that allows one to transition a given matroid into another with more bases via relaxing a \emph{stressed subset}. This framework provides a new combinatorial characterization of the class of split…
We show that C-minimal fields (i.e., C-minimal expansions of ACVF) have the exchange property, answering a question of Haskell and Macpherson. Additionally, we strengthen some theorems of Cubides Kovacsics and Delon on C-minimal fields.…
This paper proposes swaps on two important new measures of generalized variance, namely the maximum eigenvalue and trace of the covariance matrix of the assets involved. We price these generalized variance swaps for Barndorff-Nielsen and…
We show that if the ground set of a matroid can be partitioned into $k\ge 2$ bases, then for any given subset $S$ of the ground set, there is a partition into $k$ bases such that the sizes of the intersections of the bases with $S$ may…
We prove that the "Immediate Exchange Model" of econophysics has a discrete dual, where the duality functions are those connecting the Brownian Energy Process and the Symmetric Inclusion Process. As a consequence, we recover invariance of…
We investigate permutation-invariant continuous variable quantum states and their covariance matrices. We provide a complete characterization of the latter with respect to permutation-invariance, exchangeability and representing convex…
We prove the Moore and the Myhill property for strongly irreducible subshifts over right amenable and finitely right generated left homogeneous spaces with finite stabilisers. Both properties together mean that the global transition…
We consider multi-item exchange markets in which agents want to receive one of their target bundles of resources. The model encompasses well-studied markets for kidney exchange, lung exchange, and multi-organ exchange. We identify a general…
Sets of desirable gambles constitute a quite general type of uncertainty model with an interesting geometrical interpretation. We give a general discussion of such models and their rationality criteria. We study exchangeability assessments…
White's conjecture asserts that any two tuples of matroid bases that have the same multi-set union can be transformed from one to another by symmetric exchanges; it also implies that the toric ideals of matroids are generated by the…
Discrete Fenchel duality is one of the central issues in discrete convex analysis. The Fenchel-type min-max theorem for a pair of integer-valued M-natural-convex functions generalizes the min-max formulas for polymatroid intersection and…
We prove a general duality theorem for tangle-like dense objects in combinatorial structures such as graphs and matroids. This paper continues, and assumes familiarity with, the theory developed in [6]
It was conjectured by White in 1980 that the toric ring associated to a matroid is defined by symmetric exchange relations. This conjecture was extended to discrete polymatroids by Herzog and Hibi, and they prove that the conjecture holds…
We study the properties of the multiplicative structure on valuations on convex sets. We prove a new version of the hard Lefschetz theorem for even translation invariant continuous valuations, and discuss related problems of integral…
We study the convex duality method for robust utility maximization in the presence of a random endowment. When the underlying price process is a locally bounded semimartingale, we show that the fundamental duality relation holds true for a…
Quantum interactions exchanging different types of particles play a pivotal r\^{o}le in quantum many-body theory, but they are not sufficiently investigated from a mathematical perspective. Here, we consider a system made of two fermions…
A matroid has been one of the most important combinatorial structures since it was introduced by Whitney as an abstraction of linear independence. As an important property of a matroid, it can be characterized by several different (but…
In this paper we introduce discrete polymatroids satisfying the one-sided strong exchange property and show that they are sortable (as a consequence their base rings are Koszul) and that they satisfy White's conjecture. Since any pruned…
