System of linear diophantine equations with many small solutions?

Let $n$ be positive integer, $k$,$B$ fixed positive integers. Let $f_i(x_1,x_2...x_n)$ be a system of $n-k$ linearly independent linear equations over the integers. Let $S(f_i,k,B)$ be the set of ...

Is there a closed-form solution for $\max_D \operatorname{Tr}(ADBD)$

Is there a closed-form solution for $$\max_D \operatorname{Tr}(ADBD)$$ where $D$ is a $N\times N$ diagonal matrix with $m<N$ number of $1$'s and the rest are $0$'s, and $A$ and $B$ are real ...

Only trivial solutions to system of linear diophantine equations possibly related to hamiltonian cycles in graphs

This might be related to counting hamiltonian cycles. @Peter Taylor gave negative result about the one dimensional case, but we believe his attack is not directly applicable to this question. Given ...

Finding a point in the relative interior of the convex hull of a set of integer-valued vectors

Let $X \subset \mathbb{Z}^n$ be the set of integer-valued vectors satisfying a system of linear constraints. We can suppose that $X$ is the set of integral points in a given polyhydral set $Y \subset \...

programming to compute kernel quotient image of a $\mathbb{Z}$-module endomorphism

Let the integers $n\geq 2$, $k\geq 1$, $v=0$ or $1$ and $n_1,\cdots,n_k\geq 1$ such that $$ \sum_{i=1}^k n_i+v=n. $$ Define $P_a^b=0$ if both $a,b$ are odd and $P_a^b={{[a/2]}\choose {[(a+b)/2]}}$ ...

Some weird "system" of inequalities in nonnegative integers.

Suppose I have a bunch of nonnegative integers $(a_{ijkl})_{1 \leq i \leq j \leq k \leq l \leq 17}$ such that for all 17-tuples nonnegative integers $w_t$ (for $1 \leq t \leq 17$) we have that $$\min_{...
