The k-path tree matroid and its applications to survivable network design
We define the k-path tree matroid, and use it to solve network design problems in which the required connectivity is arbitrary for a given pair of nodes, and 1 for the other pairs...

On Threshold BDDs and the Optimal Variable Ordering Problem
Abstract. Many combinatorial optimization problems can be formulated as 0/1 integer programs (0/1 IPs). The investigation of the structure of these problems raises the following ta...

Fractional Pebbling and Thrifty Branching Programs
We study the branching program complexity of the tree evaluation problem, introduced in [BCM+09a] as a candidate for separating NL from LogCFL. The input to the problem is a roote...

Optimization problems involving collections of dependent objects
We describe a class of problems motivated by numerous real-world applications where there is a collection of objects that have both a cost and a value, but where some of those obj...

Differentially Private Combinatorial Optimization
Consider the following problem: given a metric space, some of whose points are "clients," select a set of at most k facility locations to minimize the average distance f...
