The Sparse Approximation problem asks to find a solution $x$ such that $||y - Hx|| < \alpha$, for a given norm $||\cdot||$, minimizing the size of the support $||x||_0 := \#\{j \ |\ x_j \neq 0 \}$. We present valid inequalities for Mixed…

The sparsest cut problem consists of identifying a small set of edges that breaks the graph into balanced sets of vertices. The normalized cut problem balances the total degree, instead of the size, of the resulting sets. Applications of…
