Optimal Proximity Bound and Product Function Estimates in Integer Linear Programming

Iskander Aliev, Gennadiy Averkov, William Jones +1

We obtain an optimal proximity bound for integer linear programs in standard form max{cx: Ax=b, x nonnegative integer}, where A is an integer mxn matrix of rank m<n and b is an int…

Exact Decomposition Branching exploiting Lattice Structures

Katrin Halbig, Timm Oertel, Dieter Weninger

Strict inequalities in mixed-integer linear optimization can cause difficulties in guaranteeing convergence and exactness. Utilizing that optimal vertex solutions follow a lattice…

Sparse Approximation in Lattices and Semigroups

Stefan Kuhlmann, Timm Oertel, Robert Weismantel

This paper deals with the following question: Suppose that there exist an integer or a non-negative integer solution to a system , where the number of non-zero componen…

Asymptotic Bounds and Online Algorithms for Average-Case Matrix Discrepancy

Dmitriy Kunisky, Timm Oertel, Nicola Wengiel +1

We study the matrix discrepancy problem in the average-case setting. Given a sequence of symmetric matrices , its discrepancy is defined as the minimal…

A Colorful Steinitz Lemma with Applications to Block Integer Programs

Timm Oertel, Joseph Paat, Robert Weismantel

The Steinitz constant in dimension is the smallest value such that for any norm on and for any finite zero-sum sequence in the unit ball, the sequence…

Optimizing Sparsity over Lattices and Semigroups

Iskander Aliev, Gennadiy Averkov, Jesús A. De Loera +1

Motivated by problems in optimization we study the sparsity of the solutions to systems of linear Diophantine equations and linear integer programs, i.e., the number of non-zero en…

Sparsity of integer solutions in the average case

Timm Oertel, Joseph Paat, Robert Weismantel

We examine how sparse feasible solutions of integer programs are, on average. Average case here means that we fix the constraint matrix and vary the right-hand side vectors. For a…

The distributions of functions related to parametric integer optimization

Timm Oertel, Joseph Paat, Robert Weismantel

We consider the asymptotic distribution of the IP sparsity function, which measures the minimal support of optimal IP solutions, and the IP to LP distance function, which measures…

Distances to Lattice Points in Knapsack Polyhedra

Iskander Aliev, Martin Henk, Timm Oertel

We give an optimal upper bound for the maximum-norm distance from a vertex of a knapsack polyhedron to its nearest feasible lattice point. In a randomised setting, we show that the…

The Support of Integer Optimal Solutions

Iskander Aliev, Jesus De Loera, Fritz Eisenbrand +2

The support of a vector is the number of nonzero-components. We show that given an integral matrix , the integer linear optimization problem $\max\left\{\boldsymbol{…

Integrality Gaps of Integer Knapsack Problems

Iskander Aliev, Martin Henk, Timm Oertel

We obtain optimal lower and upper bounds for the (additive) integrality gaps of integer knapsack problems. In a randomised setting, we show that the integrality gap of a "typical"…

Centerpoints: A link between optimization and convex geometry

Amitabh Basu, Timm Oertel

We introduce a concept that generalizes several different notions of a "centerpoint" in the literature. We develop an oracle-based algorithm for convex mixed-integer optimization b…

Duality for Mixed-Integer Convex Minimization

Michel Baes, Timm Oertel, Robert Weismantel

We extend in two ways the standard Karush-Kuhn-Tucker optimality conditions to problems with a convex objective, convex functional constraints, and the extra requirement that some…

Mirror-Descent Methods in Mixed-Integer Convex Optimization

Michel Baes, Timm Oertel, Christian Wagner +1

In this paper, we address the problem of minimizing a convex function f over a convex set, with the extra constraint that some variables must be integer. This problem, even when f…
