We introduce a gain-scaling technique for the generalized maximum ow problem. Using this technique, we present three simple and intuitive polynomial-time combinatorialalgorithms fo...
We present exact characterizations of structures on which the greedy algorithm produces optimal solutions. Our characterization, which we call matroid embeddings, complete the par...

A conic integer program is an integer programming problem with conic constraints. Conic integer programming has important applications in finance, engineering, statistical learnin...
Erd˝os, Purdy, and Straus conjectured that the number of distinct (nonzero) areas of the triangles determined by n noncollinear points in the plane is at least n−1 2 , which is...
Consider the following Steiner Tree leasing problem. Given a graph G = (V, E) with root r, and a sequence of terminal sets Dt ⊆ V for each day t ∈ [T]. A feasible solution to t...
