Induction of M-convex functions by linking systems
Induction (or transformation) by bipartite graphs is one of the most important operations on matroids, and it is well known that the induction of a matroid by a bipartite graph is again a matroid. As an abstract form of this fact, the induction of a matroid by a linking system is known to be a matroid. M-convex functions are quantitative extensions of matroidal structures, and they are known as...
متن کاملL-convex Functions and M-convex Functions
In the field of nonlinear programming (in continuous variables) convex analysis [22, 23] plays a pivotal role both in theory and in practice. An analogous theory for discrete optimization (nonlinear integer programming), called " discrete convex analysis " [18, 17], is developed for L-convex and M-convex functions by adapting the ideas in convex analysis and generalizing the results in matroid ...
متن کاملOperations on M-Convex Functions on Jump Systems
A jump system is a set of integer points with an exchange property, which is a generalization of a matroid, a delta-matroid, and a base polyhedron of an integral polymatroid (or a submodular system). Recently, the concept of M-convex functions on constant-parity jump systems is introduced by Murota as a class of discrete convex functions that admit a local criterion for global minimality. M-con...
متن کاملA New Characterization of M^-convex Set Functions by Substitutability
The concepts of M-convex functions and M^-convex functions play central roles in the theory of discrete convex analysis which has been applied to mathematical economics. On the other hand, substitutability, which is a key property guaranteeing the existence of a stable matching in generalized stable marriage models, is known as a nice property in mathematical economics. In this paper, we introd...
