Computations over the rational numbers often encounter the problem of intermediate coefficient growth. A solution to this is provided by modular methods, which apply the algorithm under consideration modulo a number of primes and then lift…
This paper is concerned with convex composite minimization problems in a Hilbert space. In these problems, the objective is the sum of two closed, proper, and convex functions where one is smooth and the other admits a computationally…
Mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) is a powerful tool for addressing a wide range of real-world problems, but it lacks a clear structure for comparing instances. A reliable similarity metric could establish meaningful relationships…
Due to their computational complexity, graph cuts for cluster detection and identification are used mostly in the form of convex relaxations. We propose to utilize the original graph cuts such as Ratio, Normalized or Cheeger Cut to detect…

The performance of Large Language Models (LLMs) is increasingly governed by data efficiency rather than raw scaling volume. However, existing selection methods often decouple global distribution balancing from local instance selection,…
By a classical result of Gomory and Hu (1961), in every edge-weighted graph $G=(V,E,w)$, the minimum $st$-cut values, when ranging over all $s,t\in V$, take at most $|V|-1$ distinct values. That is, these $\binom{|V|}{2}$ instances exhibit…

In multi-objective optimization, several potentially conflicting objective functions need to be optimized. Instead of one optimal solution, we look for the set of so called non-dominated solutions. An important subset is the set of…
We consider the well-known one dimensional cutting stock problem (1CSP). Based on the pattern structure of the classical ILP formulation of Gilmore and Gomory, we can decompose the infinite set of 1CSP instances, with a fixed demand n, into…
We design an $n^{2+o(1)}$-time algorithm that constructs a cut-equivalent (Gomory-Hu) tree of a simple graph on $n$ nodes. This bound is almost-optimal in terms of $n$, and it improves on the recent $\tilde{O}(n^{2.5})$ bound by the authors…
