The Steiner tree problem asks for a minimum cost tree spanning a given set of terminals S ⊆ V in a weighted graph G = (V, E, c), c : E → R+ . In this paper we consider a genera...
We consider the problem of determining when two delta-matroids on the same ground-set have a common base. Our approach is to adapt the theory of matchings in 2-polymatroids develo...
This article introduces a proper redefinition of the concept of bottleneck Steiner distance for the Prize-Collecting Steiner Problem. This allows the application of reduction test...
According to the present state of the theory of the matroid matching problem, the existence of a good characterization to the size of a maximum matching depends on the behavior of ...
We study discrete optimization problems with a submodular mean-risk minimization objective. For 0-1 problems a linear characterization of the convex lower envelope is given. For mi...
