The problem of minimizing a (nonconvex) quadratic form over the unit simplex, referred to as a standard quadratic program, admits an exact convex conic formulation over the computationally intractable cone of completely positive matrices.…

The disjunctive system is a system involving a disjunctive set which is the union of finitely many polyhedral convex sets. In this paper, we introduce a notion of the relaxed constant positive linear dependence constraint qualification…

Lattice-free gradient polyhedra can be used to certify optimality for mixed-integer convex minimization models. We consider how to construct these polyhedra for unconstrained models with two integer variables under the assumption that all…

We define a new cutting plane closure for pure integer programs called the two-halfspace closure. It is a natural generalization of the well-known Chv\'atal-Gomory closure. We prove that the two-halfspace closure is polyhedral. We also…

We investigate exact semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxations for the problem of minimizing a nonconvex quadratic objective function over a feasible region defined by both finitely and infinitely many nonconvex quadratic inequality…

Cutting planes are frequently used for solving integer programs. A common strategy is to derive cutting planes from building blocks or a substructure of the integer program. In this paper, we focus on knapsack constraints that arise from…

Polytopes are the basic finite data structures for convex sets: they appear as feasible regions in linear optimization, as geometric summaries in algorithms, and as random objects in stochastic geometry. A natural geometric question is…

The standard coherence criterion for lower previsions is expressed using an infinite number of linear constraints. For lower previsions that are essentially defined on some finite set of gambles on a finite possibility space, we present a…

This paper investigates the robust uncertain two-level cooperative set covering problem (RUTLCSCP). Given two types of facilities, which are called y-facility and z-facility. The problem is to decide which facilities of both types to be…

We study the Singleton-type bound that provides an upper limit on the minimum distance of locally repairable codes. We present an improved bound by carefully analyzing the combinatorial structure of the repair sets. Thus, we show the…

A convex set with nonempty interior is maximal lattice-free if it is inclusion-maximal with respect to the property of not containing integer points in its interior. Maximal lattice-free convex sets are known to be polyhedra. The precision…

We introduce a novel technique to generate Benders' cuts from a conic relaxation ("corner") derived from a basis of a higher-dimensional polyhedron that we aim to outer approximate in a lower-dimensional space. To generate facet-defining…

Sharp lower and upper uniform estimates are obtained for fundamental frequencies of $p$-Laplace type operators generated by quadratic forms. Optimal constants are exhibited, rigidity of the upper estimate is proved, anisotropic…

A graph is chordal if every cycle of length at least four contains a chord, that is, an edge connecting two nonconsecutive vertices of the cycle. Several classical applications in sparse linear systems, database management, computer vision,…

We present an improved algorithm for {\em quasi-properly} learning convex polyhedra in the realizable PAC setting from data with a margin. Our learning algorithm constructs a consistent polyhedron as an intersection of about $t \log t$…

We describe a factor-revealing convex optimization problem for the integrality gap of the maximum-cut semidefinite programming relaxation: for each $n \geq 2$ we present a convex optimization problem whose optimal value is the largest…

We give an upper bound for the degree of rational curves in a family that covers a given birational ruled surface in projective space. The upper bound is stated in terms of the degree, sectional genus and arithmetic genus of the surface. We…

The vertex cover problem is one of the most important and intensively studied combinatorial optimization problems. Khot and Regev (2003) proved that the problem is NP-hard to approximate within a factor $2 - \epsilon$, assuming the Unique…

This paper introduces cutting planes that involve minimal structural assumptions, enabling the generation of strong polyhedral relaxations for a broad class of problems. We consider valid inequalities for the set $S\cap P$, where $S$ is a…

For a set $X$ of integer points in a polyhedron, the smallest number of facets of any polyhedron whose set of integer points coincides with $X$ is called the relaxation complexity $\mathrm{rc}(X)$. This parameter was introduced by Kaibel &…
