It is well known that not every combinatorial configuration admits a geometric realization with points and lines. Moreover, some of them do not even admit realizations with pseudoline arrangements, i.e., they are not topological. In this…
In linear combinatorial optimization, we aim to find $S^* = \arg\min_{S \in \mathcal{F}} \langle w,\mathbf{1}_S \rangle$ for a family $\mathcal{F} \subseteq 2^U$ over a ground set $U$ of $n$ elements. Traditionally, $w$ is known or…
