Complexity of integer programming with added predicates

A classical theorem in Integer Programming by Lenstra says that any integer system $$A x \le b$$ can be solved in polynomial time, where $A \in \mathbb{Z}^{m \times n}, x \in \mathbb{Z}^n, b \in \...

Existence of $\{0,1\}$-solution to a system of linear equations with coefficients in $\{0,1\}$

Crossposted at Theoretical Computer Science SE A problem I study reduces to a system of linear equations $A\mathbf{x}=\mathbf{1}$ where $A$ is an $m\times n$ matrix with each entry $a_{ij}\in\{0,1\}$....

Questions in number theory related to $NC$ and $P$-completeness

Given $a,b\in\mathbb N$ find $\operatorname{GCD}(a,b)$. Given $a,b,c\in\mathbb N$ find $x,y\in\mathbb Z$ such that $ax+by=c$. Euclidean algorithm solves both. My question is if either 1 or 2 is in ...

Domination in Nice Lattices

Let an integer vector be nice when it has only two nonzero components, which sum to zero. So (0, 0, 3, 0, -3) and (-1, 0, 1, 0, 0) are examples of nice vectors in $n=5$ dimensions. Call a lattice ...

Modular counting of integral points under sparse non-negativity

Given a polyhedron $$Ax\geq b$$ where every entry of $A,b$ are non-negative and $A\in\{0,1\}^{m\times n}$ and there are $O(1)$ (say $\leq8$) non-negative entries per row of $A$ is it possible to ...

Does Barvinok's algorithm apply to convex integer program?

Barvinok provided a counting algorithm to count number of integer solutions to integer linear program that runs in polynomial time if the number of integer variables is fixed. If we have convex ...

Why cannot we adapt Barvinok type counting techniques to general convex integer programs?

Decision problems in Integer Linear Programming have Lenstra type algorithms (https://www.math.leidenuniv.nl/~lenstrahw/PUBLICATIONS/1983i/art.pdf) have been generalized to convex integer program ...

Modular inverse computation - avoiding Euclidean algorithm

Modular inverse is known to be computable by Extended Euclidean algorithm which is the reaping the rewards of computing the GCD of two numbers or proving two numbers are coprime. If we already know ...

Proof for non-existence of short integer program for squares

We do not know if $P=NP$ or not or if there is a superfast integer mutiplication algorithm. But I do not think either assumption is necessary to answer this question. Is there a way to show within an ...

Fast certficate of negativity for objective value of mixed-integer linear program

Let $c \in \mathbb R^n$, $A \in \mathbb R^{m \times n}$, $b \in \mathbb R^m$, and $I \subseteq \{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. Consider the Mixed integer linear program (MILP) $$ \begin{split} f^* = &\max \; ...

Complexity of Nested Linear Optimization

My question is motivated by the fact, that among other ways, it is possible to restrict a variable to two discrete values, e.g. the prototypical $0$ and $1$, via an optimization constraint: $$\max(\...

Will an integer program to deterministically factor integers help derandomize $\mathbb F_q[x]$ factoring?

There are many analogies between the objects $\mathbb F_q[x]$ and $\mathbb Z$. Supposing there is a fixed (say $10^9$) dimension linear integer program (describable without any objective function) in ...
