In this paper, we introduce the concept of Density-Balanced Subset in a matroid, in which independent sets can be sampled so as to guarantee that (i) each element has the same probability to be sampled, and (ii) those events are negatively…

Dynamic programming over tree decompositions is a common technique in parameterized algorithms. In this paper, we study whether this technique can also be applied to compute Pareto sets of multiobjective optimization problems. We first…
{\sc Vertex $(s, t)$-Cut} and {\sc Vertex Multiway Cut} are two fundamental graph separation problems in algorithmic graph theory. We study matroidal generalizations of these problems, where in addition to the usual input, we are given a…
In the recent years we have witnessed a rapid development of new algorithmic techniques for parameterized algorithms for graph separation problems. We present experimental evaluation of two cornerstone theoretical results in this area:…
We investigate weighted settings of popular matching problems with matroid constraints. The concept of popularity was originally defined for matchings in bipartite graphs, where vertices have preferences over the incident edges. There are…
A fundamental question in parallel computation, posed by Karp, Upfal, and Wigderson (FOCS 1985, JCSS 1988), asks: \emph{given only independence-oracle access to a matroid on $n$ elements, how many rounds are required to find a basis using…
Weighted nuclear norm minimization has been recently recognized as a technique for reconstruction of a low-rank matrix from compressively sampled measurements when some prior information about the column and row subspaces of the matrix is…
We investigate the problem of constructing fault-tolerant bases in matroids. Given a matroid M and a redundancy parameter k, a k-fault-tolerant basis is a minimum-size set of elements such that, even after the removal of any k elements, the…
Milgrom (2017) has proposed a heuristic for determining a maximum weight basis of an independence system ${\mathcal I}$ given that we want an approximation guarantee only for sets in a prescribed ${\mathcal O}\subseteq {\mathcal I}$. This…
We study determinantal varieties from conditional independence models with hidden variables, focusing on their irreducible decompositions, dimensions, degrees, and Gr\"obner bases. Each variety encodes a collection of matroids, whose flats…
This paper is concerned with algorithms and applications of decreasing minimization on an M-convex set, which is the set of integral elements of an integral base-polyhedron. Based on a recent characterization of decreasingly minimal…

We investigate an approach to matroid complexity that involves describing a matroid via a list of independent sets, bases, circuits, or some other family of subsets of the ground set. The computational complexity of algorithmic problems…
Program behavior may depend on parameters, which are either configured before compilation time, or provided at run-time, e.g., by sensors or other input devices. Parametric program analysis explores how different parameter settings may…
In the Bounded Degree Matroid Basis Problem, we are given a matroid and a hypergraph on the same ground set, together with costs for the elements of that set as well as lower and upper bounds $f(\varepsilon)$ and $g(\varepsilon)$ for each…
The parametric global minimum cut problem concerns a graph $G = (V,E)$ where the cost of each edge is an affine function of a parameter $\mu \in \mathbb{R}^d$ for some fixed dimension $d$. We consider the problems of finding the next…
We study the following Independent Stable Set problem. Let G be an undirected graph and M = (V(G),I) be a matroid whose elements are the vertices of G. For an integer k\geq 1, the task is to decide whether G contains a set S\subseteq V(G)…
In this paper, we give a new axioms system based on nonseparable flats with their ranks to define a matroid. We deduce a polynomial time algorithm for deciding if a given matroid (respectively, arbitrary structure) is an uniform matroid.…
We introduce a new iterative rounding technique to round a point in a matroid polytope subject to further matroid constraints. This technique returns an independent set in one matroid with limited violations of the other ones. On top of the…
