Theoretical and computational properties of a vector equation $Ax-\|x\|_1x=b$ are investigated, where $A$ is an invertible $M$-matrix and $b$ is a nonnegative vector. Existence and uniqueness of a nonnegative solution is proved. Fixed-point…

A variant of the classical knapsack problem is considered in which each item is associated with an integer weight and a qualitative level. We define a dominance relation over the feasible subsets of the given item set and show that this…

In this paper we extend test set based augmentation methods for integer linear programs to programs with more general convex objective functions. We show existence and computability of finite test sets for these wider problem classes by…

We consider the problem of learning Bayesian networks (BNs) from complete discrete data. This problem of discrete optimisation is formulated as an integer program (IP). We describe the various steps we have taken to allow efficient solving…

The main purpose of this paper is to propose five programs in C++ for matrix computations and solving recurrent equations systems with entries in max plus algebra.

The problem of solving linear systems is one of the most fundamental problems in computer science, where given a satisfiable linear system $(A,b)$, for $A \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ and $b \in \mathbb{R}^n$, we wish to find a vector $x…

Consider the linear equation $\mathbf{A}\mathbf{x}=\mathbf{y}$, where $\mathbf{A}$ is a $k\times N$-matrix, $\mathbf{x}\in\mathcal{K}\subset \mathbb{R}^N$ and $\mathbf{y}\in\mathbb{R}^M$ a given vector. When $\mathcal{K}$ is a convex set…

We present a new approach for studying the problem of optimal hedging of a European option in a finite and complete discrete-time market model. We consider partial hedging strategies that maximize the success probability or minimize the…

We study the proximity of the optimal value of the m-dimensional knapsack problem to the optimal value of that problem with the additional restriction that only one type of items is allowed to include in the solution. We derive exact and…

We determine the maximal gap between the optimal values of an integer program and its linear programming relaxation, where the matrix and cost function are fixed but the right hand side is unspecified. Our formula involves irreducible…

In this work we consider the problem of computing the $(\min, +)$-convolution of two sequences $a$ and $b$ of lengths $n$ and $m$, respectively, where $n \geq m$. We assume that $a$ is arbitrary, but $b_i = f(i)$, where $f(x) \colon [0,m)…

In computational complexity theory, a decision problem is NP-complete when it is both in NP and NP-hard. Although a solution to a NP-complete can be verified quickly, there is no known algorithm to solve it in polynomial time. There exists…

Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) is a prob- lem with many applications, ranging from facial recognition to document clustering. However, due to the variety of algorithms that solve NMF, the randomness involved in these algorithms,…

We give an approximation algorithm for packing and covering linear programs (linear programs with non-negative coefficients). Given a constraint matrix with n non-zeros, r rows, and c columns, the algorithm computes feasible primal and dual…

In this manuscript we provide an exact solution to the maxmin problem max ||Ax|| subject to ||Bx||<= 1, where A and B are real matrices. This problem comes from a remodeling of max ||Ax|| subject to min ||Bx||, because the latter problem…

The capability of discretization of matrix elements in the problem of quadratic functional minimization with linear member built on matrix in N-dimensional configuration space with discrete coordinates is researched. It is shown, that…

Binary matrix factorisation is an essential tool for identifying discrete patterns in binary data. In this paper we consider the rank-k binary matrix factorisation problem (k-BMF) under Boolean arithmetic: we are given an n x m binary…

Affine matrix rank minimization problem is a fundamental problem with a lot of important applications in many fields. It is well known that this problem is combinatorial and NP-hard in general. In this paper, a continuous promoting low rank…

In this paper we consider the Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) problem: given an (elementwise) nonnegative matrix $V \in \R_+^{m\times n}$ find, for assigned $k$, nonnegative matrices $W\in\R_+^{m\times k}$ and $H\in\R_+^{k\times n}$…

We consider the integer points in a unimodular cone K ordered by a lexicographic rule defined by a lattice basis. To each integer point x in K we associate a family of inequalities (lex-cuts) that defines the convex hull of the integer…
