In the Max $r$-SAT problem, the input is a CNF formula with $n$ variables where each clause is a disjunction of at most $r$ literals. The objective is to compute an assignment which satisfies as many of the clauses as possible. While there…

We study optimal decision policies for integer linear programs with a fixed feasible set and varying cost vectors, represented as linear decision trees. Once synthesized for a given feasible set, they return an optimal solution for any…
We propose simple polynomial-time algorithms for two linear conic feasibility problems. For a matrix $A\in \mathbb{R}^{m\times n}$, the kernel problem requires a positive vector in the kernel of $A$, and the image problem requires a…
Let $A \in \mathbb{Z}^{m \times n}$ be an integral matrix and $a$, $b$, $c \in \mathbb{Z}$ satisfy $a \geq b \geq c \geq 0$. The question is to recognize whether $A$ is $\{a,b,c\}$-modular, i.e., whether the set of $n \times n$…
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 propose a new exact approach for solving integer linear programming (ILP) problems which we will call projective splitting algorithms (PSAs). Unlike classical methods for solving ILP problems, PSAs conduct the search for the optimal…
Given $(a_1, \dots, a_n, t) \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}^{n + 1}$, the Subset Sum problem ($\mathsf{SSUM}$) is to decide whether there exists $S \subseteq [n]$ such that $\sum_{i \in S} a_i = t$. There is a close variant of the $\mathsf{SSUM}$,…
The simplex algorithm for linear programming is based on the fact that any local optimum with respect to the polyhedral neighborhood is also a global optimum. We show that a similar result carries over to submodular maximization. In…
Suppose a language $L$ can be decided by a bounded-error randomized algorithm that runs in space $S$ and time $n \cdot \text{poly}(S)$. We give a randomized algorithm for $L$ that still runs in space $O(S)$ and time $n \cdot \text{poly}(S)$…

The reduction of a large number of scalar integrals to a small set of master integrals via Laporta's algorithm is common practice in multi-loop calculations. It is also a major bottleneck in terms of running time and memory consumption. It…
A $c$-short program for a string $x$ is a description of $x$ of length at most $C(x) + c$, where $C(x)$ is the Kolmogorov complexity of $x$. We show that there exists a randomized algorithm that constructs a list of $n$ elements that…
We investigate the space complexity of solving linear systems of equations. While all known deterministic or randomized algorithms solving a square system of $n$ linear equations in $n$ variables require $\Omega(\log^2 n)$ space, Ta-Shma…
