We give some sufficient conditions of separation of two sets of integer points by a hyperplane. Our conditions are related to the notion of convexity of sets of integer points and are weaker than existing notions.

The Sum-of-Squares (SoS) hierarchy is a semi-definite programming meta-algorithm that captures state-of-the-art polynomial time guarantees for many optimization problems such as Max-$k$-CSPs and Tensor PCA. On the flip side, a SoS lower…
Let $A \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ be invertible, $x \in \mathbb{R}^n$ unknown and $b =Ax $ given. We are interested in approximate solutions: vectors $y \in \mathbb{R}^n$ such that $\|Ay - b\|$ is small. We prove that for all $0<…
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…
We derive a mixed integer nonlinear programming formulation for the problem of finding a convex polygon with a given number of vertices that is small (diameter at most one) and has maximum perimeter. The formulation is based on a geometric…
The multivariate integer Chebyshev problem is to find polynomials with integer coefficients that minimize the supremum norm over a compact set in $\C^d.$ We study this problem on general sets, but devote special attention to product sets…

We show that one can enumerate the vertices of the convex hull of integer points in polytopes whose constraint matrices have bounded and nonzero subdeterminants, in time polynomial in the dimension and encoding size of the polytope. This…
Mixed-integer mathematical programs are among the most commonly used models for a wide set of problems in Operations Research and related fields. However, there is still very little known about what can be expressed by small mixed-integer…
The permutohedron $P_n$ of order $n$ is a polytope embedded in $\mathbb{R}^n$ whose vertex coordinates are permutations of the first $n$ natural numbers. It is obvious that $P_n$ lies on the hyperplane $H_n$ consisting of points whose…
The Integer Programming Problem (IP) for a polytope P \subseteq R^n is to find an integer point in P or decide that P is integer free. We give an algorithm for an approximate version of this problem, which correctly decides whether P…
This paper presents a novel convex optimization-based method for finding the globally optimal solutions of a class of mixed-integer non-convex optimal control problems. We consider problems with non-convex constraints that restrict the…
We introduce variants of Barvinok's algorithm for counting lattice points in polyhedra. The new algorithms are based on irrational signed decomposition in the primal space and the construction of rational generating functions for cones with…
In this article we consider $S$ to be a set of points in $d$-space with the property that any $d$ points of $S$ span a hyperplane and not all the points of $S$ are contained in a hyperplane. The aim of this article is to introduce the…
A point set $M$ in $m$-dimensional Euclidean space is called an integral point set if all the distances between the elements of $M$ are integers, and $M$ is not situated on an $(m-1)$-dimensional hyperplane. We improve the linear lower…
In this paper, we present a novel approach to construct multiclass classifiers by means of arrangements of hyperplanes. We propose different mixed integer (linear and non linear) programming formulations for the problem using extensions of…
We show that the minimal number of skewed hyperplanes that cover the hypercube $\{0,1\}^{n}$ is at least $\frac{n}{2}+1$, and there are infinitely many $n$'s when the hypercube can be covered with $n-\log_{2}(n)+1$ skewed hyperplanes. The…
