Core-based criterion for extreme supermodular functions
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for extremality of a supermodular function based on its min-representation by means of (vertices of) the corresponding core polytope. The condition leads to solving a certain simple linear equation system determined by the combinatorial core structure. This result allows us to characterize indecomposability in the class of generalized permutohedra. W...
متن کاملExtreme Supermodular Set Functions over Ve Variables
The class of supermodular functions on the power set of a non-empty nite set N forms a cone. It can be viewed as the direct sum of a linear subspace and of a cone of standardized supermodular functions which has nitely many extreme rays. Every extreme ray can be described by a standardized integer-valued set function. We analyse the situation in the case when N has ve elements (= variables). A ...
متن کاملLinear Core-Based Criterion for Testing Extreme Exact Games
The notion of a (discrete) coherent lower probability corresponds to a game-theoretical concept of an exact (cooperative) game. The collection of (standardized) exact games forms a pointed polyhedral cone and the paper is devoted to the extreme rays of that cone, known as extreme exact games. A criterion is introduced for testing whether an exact game is extreme. The criterion leads to solving ...
متن کاملSupermodular Functions on Finite Lattices
The supermodular order on multivariate distributions has many applications in financial and actuarial mathematics. In the particular case of finite, discrete distributions, we generalize the order to distributions on finite lattices. In this setting, we focus on the generating cone of supermodular functions because the extreme rays of that cone (modulo the modular functions) can be used as test...
متن کاملGreedy Minimization of Weakly Supermodular Set Functions
This paper defines weak-α-supermodularity for set functions. It shows that minimizing such functions under cardinality constrains is a common task in machine learning and data mining. Moreover, any problem whose objective function exhibits this property benefits from a greedy extension phase. Explicitly, let S∗ be the optimal set of cardinality k that minimizes f and let S0 be an initial soluti...
