A brief note on submodular optimization

arXiv:2510.17610

Abstract

We consider some basic concepts concerning the optimization of monotone submodular functions, including a detailed discussion of submodularity. Illustrative examples are included to provide further insight. We then discuss the greedy method and a couple of its more efficient variants for approximately maximizing monotone submodular functions.

10 pages. Added more details in the discussion of submodularity
