Reference Request for Integer factorization with LP/ILP

Have there been attempts to factor integers with Linear Programming? Searching the internet suggests that for Integer Factorization only Number Theoretic algorithms, like sieves, are taken into ...

basis of the lattice generated by the integer points inside a subspace of R^L

Consider $K$ linearly independent vectors $\mathbf{a}_1, \mathbf{a}_2, ..., \mathbf{a}_K \in \mathbb{Z}^L$, where $1 \leq K<L $. Hence, the span of $\lbrace\mathbf{a}_1, \mathbf{a}_2, ..., \mathbf{...

Efficient solutions to general Bézout’s identity $a_1 b_1 + \dots + a_n b_n = 1$

Suppose I have integers $a_1, \dots, a_n$ which are coprime, meaning that $$a_1 b_1 + \dots + a_n b_n = 1$$ has a solution in integers $b_1, \dots, b_n$. I would like to get a bound saying ...

What does Lenstra's MILP do?

Honestly I do not understand why Lenstra's MILP is in $P$ if the number of integer dimensions is fixed. Here is what Lenstra says in 'http://people.csail.mit.edu/rrw/presentations/Lenstra81.pdf' in ...

Name search for special Linear Integer Program

I am looking for a name for the following question in literature! (and if you know it, then it would be great) I couldn't find it and due to wide audience here, presumably you know more. Thank you $...

Reference request: Edmond's Algorithm for integer hull

I'm looking for a good reference for the algorithm (supposedly by Edmonds) to compute the integer hull of a polytope, not by cutting plane methods but by starting with a set of integer points and then ...

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(\...
