We study the maximal number of pairwise distinct columns in a $\Delta$-modular integer matrix with $m$ rows. Recent results by Lee et al. provide an asymptotically tight upper bound of $O(m^2)$ for fixed $\Delta$. We complement this and…

We propose a randomized method for solving linear programs with a large number of columns but a relatively small number of constraints. Since enumerating all the columns is usually unrealistic, such linear programs are commonly solved by…
A rank-$r$ integer matrix $A$ is $\Delta$-modular if the determinant of each $r \times r$ submatrix has absolute value at most $\Delta$. The class of $1$-modular, or unimodular, matrices is of fundamental significance in both integer…
Let $A$ be an $(m \times n)$ integral matrix, and let $P=\{ x : A x \leq b\}$ be an $n$-dimensional polytope. The width of $P$ is defined as $ w(P)=min\{ x\in \mathbb{Z}^n\setminus\{0\} :\: max_{x \in P} x^\top u - min_{x \in P} x^\top v…

The Interior-Point Methods are a class for solving linear programming problems that rely upon the solution of linear systems. At each iteration, it becomes important to determine how to solve these linear systems when the constraint matrix…
A long-standing open question in Integer Programming is whether integer programs with constraint matrices with bounded subdeterminants are efficiently solvable. An important special case thereof are congruency-constrained integer programs…
We consider the following problem: Given a matrix A, find minimal subsets of columns of A with cardinality no larger than a given bound that are linear dependent or nearly so. This problem arises in various forms in optimization, electrical…
The intention of this note is two-fold. First, we study integer optimization problems in standard form defined by $A \in\mathbb{Z}^{m\times{}n}$ and present an algorithm to solve such problems in polynomial-time provided that both the…
In this work, a graph partitioning problem in a fixed number of connected components is considered. Given an undirected graph with costs on the edges, the problem consists of partitioning the set of nodes into a fixed number of subsets with…
The number of non-negative integer matrices with given row and column sums appears in a variety of problems in mathematics and statistics but no closed-form expression for it is known, so we rely on approximations of various kinds. Here we…
The Restricted Invertibility problem is the problem of selecting the largest subset of columns of a given matrix $X$, while keeping the smallest singular value of the extracted submatrix above a certain threshold. In this paper, we address…
