Lot sizing problem: how to add these cuts efficiently

Consider the set of constraints of the uncapacitated lot sizing problem: $$ \{(x,s,y)\in \mathbb{R}^n_+ \times \mathbb{R}^n_+ \times \mathbb{B}^n \;|\;s_{t-1}+x_t = d_t+s_t,\; x_t \le My_t,\; t=1,\...

Why is Gaussian distribution always chosen for smoothed analysis?

I came across the algorithmic perfomance analysis model of smoothed analysis. In all references that I read a Gaussian distribution was used for perturbation (e.g. Spielman and Teng 2004 for the ...

Algorithm for the intersection of a vector subspace with a cone of non-negative vectors

Hi, I would like to know whether there is some more effective way of how to compute an intersection of a vector subspace of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ with a cone of vectors with non-negative entries than the ...

Complexity of a weirdo two-dimensional sorting problem

Please forgive me if this is easy for some reason. Suppose given $S$, a set of $n^2$ points in $\mathbb{R}^2$. I want to choose a bijective map $f$ from $S$ to the set of lattice points in $\lbrace ...

Finding orthogonal basis with constraint

Is there any fast algorithm that output an orthogonal basis $e_i,i\leq n$ of $R^n$ with $e_i\in V_i$? Where $V_i,i\leq n$ are given linear subspaces of $R^n$. And is there any condition on $V_i,i\leq ...

Network flows with capacities on pairs of edges

Take a standard network flow problem: a directed graph with nonnegative capacities on each edge, a source $s$, a sink $t$. We all know how to find the maximum flow from $s$ to $t$. Now add edge-pair ...

Mathematical Programming with other Algebras than Linear

Linear Programming is strongly entwined with linear algebra, as are many of its generalizations under the heading of mathematical programming / convex optimization. What analogies are there for ...
