An approximation algorithm for network design problems with downwards-monotone demand functions
Building on an existing 2-approximate algorithm for the class of network design problems with downwards-monotone demand functions, many of which are NP-hard, we present an algorith...

Slopes of shadow prices and Lagrange multipliers
Abstract Manyeconomicmodels andoptimizationproblems generate(endogenous) shadow prices--alias dual variables or Lagrange multipliers. Frequently the "slopes" of resulting...

Generalized semi-infinite programming: the Symmetric Reduction Ansatz
We introduce the Symmetric Reduction Ansatz at a point from the closure of the feasible set in generalized semi-infinite programming. A corresponding Symmetric Reduction Lemma is s...

On hyperbolicity cones associated with elementary symmetric polynomials
Elementary symmetric polynomials can be thought of as derivative polynomials of En(x) = i=1,...,n xi. Their associated hyperbolicity cones give a natural sequence of relaxations f...

A simpler and tighter redundant Klee-Minty construction
By introducing redundant Klee-Minty examples, we have previously shown that the central path can be bent along the edges of the Klee-Minty cubes, thus having 2n - 2 sharp turns in...
