Scheduling meets n-fold Integer Programming
Scheduling problems are fundamental in combinatorial optimization. Much work has been done on approximation algorithms for NP-hard cases, but relatively little is known about exact solutions when some part of the input is a fixed parameter. In 2014, Mnich and Wiese initiated a systematic study in this direction. In this paper we continue this study and show that several additional cases of fund...
متن کاملN-Fold Integer Programming
In this article we study a broad class of integer programming problems in variable dimension. We show that these so-termed n-fold integer programming problems are polynomial time solvable. Our proof involves two heavy ingredients discovered recently: the equivalence of linear optimization and so-called directed augmentation, and the stabilization of certain Graver bases. We discuss several appl...
متن کاملEvaluating and Tuning n-fold Integer Programming
In recent years, algorithmic breakthroughs in stringology, computational social choice, scheduling, etc., were achieved by applying the theory of so-called n-fold integer programming. An n-fold integer program (IP) has a highly uniform block structured constraint matrix. Hemmecke, Onn, and Romanchuk [Math. Programming, 2013] showed an algorithm with runtime aO(rst+rs)n3, where a is the largest ...
متن کاملN-fold integer programming in cubic time
n-Fold integer programming is a fundamental problem with a variety of natural applications in operations research and statistics. Moreover, it is universal and provides a new, variable-dimension, parametrization of all of integer programming. The fastest algorithm for n-fold integer programming predating the present article runs in time O ( ng(A)L ) with L the binary length of the numerical par...
متن کاملCombinatorial n-fold Integer Programming and Applications
Integer Linear Programming is a famous NP-complete problem. Lenstra showed that in the case of small dimension, it can be solved in polynomial time. This algorithm became a ubiquitous tool, especially in the design of parameterized algorithms for NP-complete problems, where we wish to isolate the hardness of an instance to some parameter. However, it was discovered that in many cases using Lens...
