We establish new lower-bounds for the information complexity of mixed-integer convex optimization under two "bit-wise" oracles. The first oracle provides bits of first-order information in the standard coordinate model, and the second…

A classic result of Lenstra [Math.~Oper.~Res.~1983] says that an integer linear program can be solved in fixed-parameter tractable (FPT) time for the parameter being the number of variables. We extend this result by incorporating…

When given a generalized matrix separation problem, which aims to recover a low rank matrix $L_0$ and a sparse matrix $S_0$ from $M_0=L_0+HS_0$, the work \cite{CW25} proposes a novel convex optimization problem whose objective function is…

The most important ingredient for solving mixed-integer nonlinear programs (MINLPs) to global epsilon-optimality with spatial branch and bound is a tight, computationally tractable relaxation. Due to both theoretical and practical…

While it is trivial to multiply two C-finite sequences (just like integers), it is not quite so trivial to "factorize" them, or to decide whether they are "prime". The former is plain linear algebra, while the latter is heavy-duty…
