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…

We address the problems of minimizing and of maximizing the spectral radius overa compact family of non-negative matrices. Those problems being hard in generalcan be efficiently solved for some special families. We consider the so-called…

We present a data structure that we call a Dynamic Representative Set. In its most basic form, it is given two parameters $0< k < n$ and allows us to maintain a representation of a family $\mathcal{F}$ of subsets of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$. It…

The problem of column subset selection asks for a subset of columns from an input matrix such that the matrix can be reconstructed as accurately as possible within the span of the selected columns. A natural extension is to consider a…

We consider the following problem in which a given number of items has to be chosen from a predefined set. Each item is described by a vector of attributes and for each attribute there is a desired distribution that the selected set should…

We consider the Subset Sum Ratio Problem ($SSR$), in which given a set of integers the goal is to find two subsets such that the ratio of their sums is as close to~1 as possible, and introduce a family of variations that capture additional…

In the Inverse Matroid problem, we are given a matroid, a fixed basis $B$, and an initial weight function, and the goal is to minimally modify the weights -- measured by some function -- so that $B$ becomes a maximum-weight basis. The…

Zigzag filtrations of simplicial complexes generalize the usual filtrations by allowing simplex deletions in addition to simplex insertions. The barcodes computed from zigzag filtrations encode the evolution of homological features.…

We consider the problem of optimizing a coverage function under a $\ell$-matchoid of rank $k$. We design fixed-parameter algorithms as well as streaming algorithms to compute an exact solution. Unlike previous work that presumes linear…

How data is represented and operationalized is critical for building computational solutions that are both effective and efficient. A common approach is to represent data objects as binary vectors, denoted \textit{hash codes}, which require…

Quasi-separable matrices are a class of rank-structured matriceswidely used in numerical linear algebra and of growing interestin computer algebra, with applications in e.g. the linearization ofpolynomial matrices. Various representation…

We consider the following Stochastic Boolean Function Evaluation problem, which is closely related to several problems from the literature. A matroid $\mathcal{M}$ (in compact representation) on ground set $E$ is given, and each element…

We study the complexity of testing if two given matroids are isomorphic. The problem is easily seen to be in $\Sigma_2^p$. In the case of linear matroids, which are represented over polynomially growing fields, we note that the problem is…

A well-known problem in scheduling and approximation algorithms is the Santa Claus problem. Suppose that Santa Claus has a set of gifts, and he wants to distribute them among a set of children so that the least happy child is made as happy…

Maximizing monotone submodular functions under a matroid constraint is a classic algorithmic problem with multiple applications in data mining and machine learning. We study this classic problem in the fully dynamic setting, where elements…

There exist several theorems which state that when a matroid is representable over distinct fields F_1,...,F_k, it is also representable over other fields. We prove a theorem, the Lift Theorem, that implies many of these results. First,…

We discuss several extension properties of matroids and polymatroids and their application as necessary conditions for the existence of different matroid representations, namely linear, folded linear, algebraic, and entropic…

An Ingletonian polymatroid satisfies, in addition to the polymatroid axioms, the inequalities of Ingleton (Combin. Math. Appln., 1971). These inequalities are required for a polymatroid to be representable. It is has been an open question…

The paper considers the problem of finding a submatrix $X_{\mathcal{S}} \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times k}$ in a matrix $X \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times n}$, such that the spectral or Frobenius norm of $X_{\mathcal{S}}^{\dag} X$ is limited, which…

We study the problem of computing the isolated regular solutions of a system \((f_1,\ldots,f_n)\) of \(n\) polynomial equations in \(n\) variables \((X_1, \dots, X_n)\) over a field of characteristic zero \(k\). We focus on systems with a…
