In this article, we investigate the multi-parametric matroid problem. The weights of the elements of the matroid's ground set depend linearly on an arbitrary but fixed number of parameters, each of which is taken from a real interval. The…
We give an algorithmic and lower-bound framework that facilitates the construction of subexponential algorithms and matching conditional complexity bounds. It can be applied to intersection graphs of similarly-sized fat objects, yielding…
General factors are a generalization of matchings. Given a graph $G$ with a set $\pi(v)$ of feasible degrees, called a degree constraint, for each vertex $v$ of $G$, the general factor problem is to find a (spanning) subgraph $F$ of $G$…

We initiate the study of matroid problems in a new oracle model called dynamic oracle. Our algorithms in this model lead to new bounds for some classic problems, and a "unified" algorithm whose performance matches previous results developed…
In this paper we consider the classic matroid intersection problem: given two matroids $\M_{1}=(V,\I_{1})$ and $\M_{2}=(V,\I_{2})$ defined over a common ground set $V$, compute a set $S\in\I_{1}\cap\I_{2}$ of largest possible cardinality,…
While the basic greedy algorithm gives a semi-streaming algorithm with an approximation guarantee of $2$ for the \emph{unweighted} matching problem, it was only recently that Paz and Schwartzman obtained an analogous result for weighted…
In the matroid intersection problem, we are given two matroids $\mathcal{M}_1 = (V, \mathcal{I}_1)$ and $\mathcal{M}_2 = (V, \mathcal{I}_2)$ defined on the same ground set $V$ of $n$ elements, and the objective is to find a common…
In this paper, we consider the tractability of the matroid intersection problem under the minimum rank oracle. In this model, we are given an oracle that takes as its input a set of elements and returns as its output the minimum of the…
This paper addresses the problem of computing valuations of the Dieudonn\'e determinants of matrices over discrete valuation skew fields (DVSFs). Under a reasonable computational model, we propose two algorithms for a class of DVSFs, called…
We present an algorithm for evaluating a linear ``intersection transform'' of a function defined on the lattice of subsets of an $n$-element set. In particular, the algorithm constructs an arithmetic circuit for evaluating the transform in…
Let M be a matroid on ground set E. A subset l of E is called a `line' when its rank equals 1 or 2. Given a set L of lines, a `fractional matching' in (M,L) is a nonnegative vector x indexed by the lines in L, that satisfies a system of…
In this paper, we propose a distributed algorithm, called Directed-Distributed Gradient Descent (D-DGD), to solve multi-agent optimization problems over directed graphs. Existing algorithms mostly deal with similar problems under the…
In this paper, we consider the computation of the degree of the Dieudonn\'e determinant of a linear symbolic matrix $A = A_0 + A_1 x_1 + \cdots + A_m x_m$, where each $A_i$ is an $n \times n$ polynomial matrix over $\mathbb{K}[t]$ and…
While most classical NP-hard graph problems cannot be solved in time $2^{o(n)}$ on general graphs under the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH), many exhibit the square-root phenomenon and admit optimal algorithms running in time…

We introduce the parametric matroid one-interdiction problem. Given a matroid, each element of its ground set is associated with a weight that depends linearly on a real parameter from a given parameter interval. The goal is to find, for…
We consider the problem of finding \textit{semi-matching} in bipartite graphs which is also extensively studied under various names in the scheduling literature. We give faster algorithms for both weighted and unweighted case. For the…
Given a simple weighted directed graph $G = (V, E, \omega)$ on $n$ vertices as well as two designated terminals $s, t\in V$, our goal is to compute the shortest path from $s$ to $t$ avoiding any pair of presumably failed edges $f_1, f_2\in…
We consider the problem of finding a basis of a matroid with weight exactly equal to a given target. Here weights can be discrete values from $\{-\Delta,\ldots,\Delta\}$ or more generally $m$-dimensional vectors of such discrete values. We…
