We present a formal analysis, in Isabelle/HOL, of optimisation algorithms for matroids, which are useful generalisations of combinatorial structures that occur in optimisation, and greedoids, which are a generalisation of matroids. Although…

We propose a new model-order reduction framework to poorly reducible problems arising from parametric partial differential equations with geometric variability. In such problems, the solution manifold exhibits a slowly decaying Kolmogorov…

Every minor-closed class of matroids of bounded branch-width can be characterized by a list of excluded minors, but unlike graphs, this list may need to be infinite in general. However, for each fixed finite field $\mathbb F$, the list…

In this work, we consider robust submodular maximization with matroid constraints. We give an efficient bi-criteria approximation algorithm that outputs a small family of feasible sets whose union has (nearly) optimal objective value. This…

The standard oracle model for matroid algorithms assumes that each independence query can be answered in constant time, regardless of the size of the queried set. While this abstraction has underpinned much of the theoretical progress in…

The problem of covering the ground set of two matroids by a minimum number of common independent sets is notoriously hard even in very restricted settings, i.e.\ when the goal is to decide if two common independent sets suffice or not.…
