For integers $k,n \geq 0$ and a cost vector $c \in Z^n$, we study two fundamental integer linear programming (ILP) problems: \[ \text{(Standard Form)} \quad \max\bigl\{c^\top x \colon Ax = b,\ x \in Z^n_{\geq 0}\bigr\} \text{ with } A \in…

Integer Linear Programming (ILP) can be seen as the archetypical problem for NP-complete optimization problems, and a wide range of problems in artificial intelligence are solved in practice via a translation to ILP. Despite its huge range…
Integer linear programs (ILPs) are a widely applied framework for dealing with combinatorial problems that arise in practice. It is known, e.g., by the success of CPLEX, that preprocessing and simplification can greatly speed up the process…
We study the standard-form ILP problem $\max\{ c^\top x \colon A x = b,\; x \in Z_{\geq 0}^n \}$, where $A\in Z^{k\times n}$ has full row rank. We obtain refined FPT algorithms parameterized by $k$ and $\Delta$, the maximum absolute value…
We consider ILPs, where each variable corresponds to an integral point within a polytope $\mathcal{P}$, i. e., ILPs of the form $\min\{c^{\top}x\mid \sum_{p\in\mathcal P\cap \mathbb Z^d} x_p p = b, x\in\mathbb Z^{|\mathcal P\cap \mathbb…

Mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) is at the core of many advanced algorithms for solving fundamental problems in combinatorial optimization. The complexity of solving MILPs directly correlates with their support size, which is the…
Floor planning is an important and difficult task in architecture. When planning office buildings, rooms that belong to the same organisational unit should be placed close to each other. This leads to the following NP-hard mathematical…
