Contraction$^*$-depth is a matroid depth parameter analogous to tree-depth of graphs. We establish the matroid analogue of the classical graph theory result asserting that the tree-depth of a graph $G$ is the minimum height of a rooted…
We consider two matrix completion problems, in which we are given a matrix with missing entries and the task is to complete the matrix in a way that (1) minimizes the rank, or (2) minimizes the number of distinct rows. We study the…
The tree-depth problem can be seen as finding an elimination tree of minimum height for a given input graph $G$. We introduce a bicriteria generalization in which additionally the width of the elimination tree needs to be bounded by some…
We present a polynomial time dynamic programming algorithm for optimal partitions in the shortest path metric induced by a tree. This resolves, among other things, the exact complexity status of the optimal partition problems in one…
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…
We revisit the issue of low-distortion embedding of metric spaces into the line, and more generally, into the shortest path metric of trees, from the parameterized complexity perspective.Let $M=M(G)$ be the shortest path metric of an edge…
Powerful results from the theory of integer programming have recently led to substantial advances in parameterized complexity. However, our perception is that, except for Lenstra's algorithm for solving integer linear programming in fixed…
A natural way to deal with multiple, partially conflicting objectives is turning all the objectives but one into budget constraints. Some classical polynomial-time optimization problems, such as spanning tree and forest, shortest path,…
We present a tree structure algorithm for optimal control problems with state constraints. We prove a convergence result for a discrete time approximation of the value function based on a novel formulation of the constrained problem. Then…
This paper investigates the execution of tree-shaped task graphs using multiple processors. Each edge of such a tree represents a large IO file. A task can only be executed if all input and output files fit into memory, and a file can only…
We study two classic variants of block-structured integer programming. Two-stage stochastic programs are integer programs of the form $\{A_i \mathbf{x} + D_i \mathbf{y}_i = \mathbf{b}_i\textrm{ for all }i=1,\ldots,n\}$, where $A_i$ and…
A breakthrough result of Cygan et al. (FOCS 2011) showed that connectivity problems parameterized by treewidth can be solved much faster than the previously best known time $\mathcal{O}^*(2^{\mathcal{O}(tw \log(tw))})$. Using their inspired…
Treedepth is a central parameter to algorithmic graph theory. The current state-of-the-art in computing and approximating treedepth consists of a $2^{O(k^2)} n$-time exact algorithm and a polynomial-time $O(\text{OPT} \log^{3/2}…
We present a novel algorithm for the minimum-depth elimination tree problem, which is equivalent to the optimal treedepth decomposition problem. Our algorithm makes use of two cheaply-computed lower bound functions to prune the search tree,…
We consider integer and linear programming problems for which the linear constraints exhibit a (recursive) block-structure: The problem decomposes into independent and efficiently solvable sub-problems if a small number of constraints is…
Herein we explore a dual tree algorithm for matrix multiplication of $A\in \mathbb{R}^{M\times D}$ and $B\in\mathbb{R}^{D\times N}$, very narrowly effective if the normalized rows of $A$ and columns of $B$, treated as vectors in…
We consider the well-studied problem of finding a spanning tree with minimum average distance between vertex pairs (called a MAD tree). This is a classic network design problem which is known to be NP-hard. While approximation algorithms…
A great variety of fundamental optimization and counting problems arising in computer science, mathematics and physics can be reduced to one of the following computational tasks involving polynomials and set systems: given an $m$-variate…
The problem of {\em efficiently} finding the best match for a query in a given set with respect to the Euclidean distance or the cosine similarity has been extensively studied in literature. However, a closely related problem of efficiently…
Given an integer dimension K and a simple, undirected graph G with positive edge weights, the Distance Geometry Problem (DGP) aims to find a realization function mapping each vertex to a coordinate in K-dimensional space such that the…
