Formalizing the Face Lattice of Polyhedra

Xavier Allamigeon, Ricardo D. Katz, Pierre-Yves Strub

Faces play a central role in the combinatorial and computational aspects of polyhedra. In this paper, we present the first formalization of faces of polyhedra in the proof assistan…

Tropical Dynamic Programming for Lipschitz Multistage Stochastic Programming

Marianne Akian, Jean-Philippe Chancelier, Benoît Tran

We present an algorithm called Tropical Dynamic Programming (TDP) which builds upper and lower approximations of the Bellman value functions in risk-neutral Multistage Stochastic P…

The tropicalization of the entropic barrier

Xavier Allamigeon, Abdellah Aznag, Stéphane Gaubert +1

The entropic barrier, studied by Bubeck and Eldan (Proc. Mach. Learn. Research, 2015), is a self-concordant barrier with asymptotically optimal self-concordance parameter. In this…

Understanding and monitoring the evolution of the Covid-19 epidemic from medical emergency calls: the example of the Paris area

Stéphane Gaubert, Marianne Akian, Xavier Allamigeon +16

We portray the evolution of the Covid-19 epidemic during the crisis of March-April 2020 in the Paris area, by analyzing the medical emergency calls received by the EMS of the four…

Intersection multiplicity of a sparse curve and a low-degree curve

Pascal Koiran, Mateusz Skomra

Let be a polynomial of degree and let be a polynomial with monomials. We want to estimate the maximal multiplicit…

Matrix versions of the Hellinger distance

Rajendra Bhatia, Stephane Gaubert, Tanvi Jain

On the space of positive definite matrices we consider distance functions of the form $d(A,B)=\left[\tr\mathcal{A}(A,B)-\tr\mathcal{G}(A,B)\right]^{1/2},$ where …

A stochastic algorithm for deterministic multistage optimization problems

Marianne Akian, Jean-Philippe Chancelier, Benoît Tran

Several attempts to dampen the curse of dimensionnality problem of the Dynamic Programming approach for solving multistage optimization problems have been investigated. One popular…

Nonsmooth Aggregative Games with Coupling Constraints and Infinitely Many Classes of Players

Paulin Jacquot, Cheng Wan

After defining a pure-action profile in a nonatomic aggregative game, where players have specific compact convex pure-action sets and nonsmooth convex cost functions, as a square-i…

The tropical analogue of the Helton-Nie conjecture is true

Xavier Allamigeon, Stéphane Gaubert, Mateusz Skomra

Helton and Nie conjectured that every convex semialgebraic set over the field of real numbers can be written as the projection of a spectrahedron. Recently, Scheiderer disproved th…

Log-barrier interior point methods are not strongly polynomial

Xavier Allamigeon, Pascal Benchimol, Stéphane Gaubert +1

We prove that primal-dual log-barrier interior point methods are not strongly polynomial, by constructing a family of linear programs with inequalities in dimension for…

Horofunction Compactifications of Symmetric Spaces

Thomas Haettel, Anna-Sofie Schilling, Cormac Walsh +1

We consider horofunction compactifications of symmetric spaces with respect to invariant Finsler metrics. We show that any (generalized) Satake compactification can be realized as…

Tropical compound matrix identities

Marianne Akian, Stephane Gaubert, Adi Niv

We prove identities on compound matrices in extended tropical semirings. Such identities include analogues to properties of conjugate matrices, powers of matrices and~$\adj(A)\det(…

Stationary solutions of discrete and continuous Petri nets with priorities

Xavier Allamigeon, Vianney Boeuf, Stéphane Gaubert

We study a continuous dynamics for a class of Petri nets which allows the routing at non-free choice places to be determined by priorities rules. We show that this dynamics can be…

A tropical isoperimetric inequality

Jules Depersin, Stéphane Gaubert, Michael Joswig

We introduce tropical analogues of the notion of volume of polytopes, leading to a tropical version of the (discrete) classical isoperimetric inequality. The planar case is element…

Tropical totally positive matrices

Stéphane Gaubert, Adi Niv

We investigate the tropical analogues of totally positive and totally nonnegative matrices. These arise when considering the images by the nonarchimedean valuation of the correspon…

An Accretive Operator Approach to Ergodic Problems for Zero-Sum Games

Antoine Hochart

Mean payoff stochastic games can be studied by means of a nonlinear spectral problem involving the Shapley operator: the ergodic equation. A solution consists in a scalar, called t…

Non-archimedean valuations of eigenvalues of matrix polynomials

Marianne Akian, Ravindra Bapat, Stéphane Gaubert

We establish general weak majorization inequalities, relating the leading exponents of the eigenvalues of matrices or matrix polynomials over the field of Puiseux series with the t…

Performance evaluation of an emergency call center: tropical polynomial systems applied to timed Petri nets

Xavier Allamigeon, Vianney Bœuf, Stéphane Gaubert

We analyze a timed Petri net model of an emergency call center which processes calls with different levels of priority. The counter variables of the Petri net represent the cumulat…
