We consider Upper Domination, the problem of finding the minimal dominating set of maximum cardinality. Very few exact algorithms have been described for solving Upper Domination. In particular, no binary programming formulations for Upper…
A sparse linear programming (SLP) problem is a linear programming problem equipped with a sparsity (or cardinality) constraint, which is nonconvex and discontinuous theoretically and generally NP-hard computationally due to the…

In our paper, we consider the following general problems: check feasibility, count the number of feasible solutions, find an optimal solution, and count the number of optimal solutions in $P \cap Z^n$, assuming that $P$ is a polyhedron,…
Domination in graphs is a widely studied field, where many different definitions have been introduced in the last years to respond to different network requirements. This paper presents a new dominating parameter based on the well-known…
Roman-type domination parameters form an important class of graph invariants that model protection and resource allocation problems on networks. Among them, $[k]$-Roman domination provides a unified framework that generalizes Roman, double…
A class of valued constraint satisfaction problems (VCSPs) is characterised by a valued constraint language, a fixed set of cost functions on a finite domain. An instance of the problem is specified by a sum of cost functions from the…

We consider the constrained Linear Inverse Problem (LIP), where a certain atomic norm (like the $\ell_1 $ norm) is minimized subject to a quadratic constraint. Typically, such cost functions are non-differentiable, which makes them not…
Many probabilistic inference tasks involve summations over exponentially large sets. Recently, it has been shown that these problems can be reduced to solving a polynomial number of MAP inference queries for a model augmented with randomly…
$k$-defensive domination, a variant of the classical domination problem on graphs, seeks a minimum cardinality vertex set providing a surjective defense against any attack on vertices of cardinality bounded by a parameter $k$. The problem…
In the minimum common string partition (MCSP) problem two related input strings are given. "Related" refers to the property that both strings consist of the same set of letters appearing the same number of times in each of the two strings.…
The vertex coloring problem asks for the minimum number of colors that can be assigned to the vertices of a given graph such that each two adjacent vertices get different colors. For this NP-hard problem, a variety of integer linear…
