The Base-matroid and Inverse Combinatorial Optimization Problems
A new matroid is introduced: this matroid is de0ned starting from any matroid and one of its bases, hence we call it base-matroid. Besides some properties of the base-matroid, a non-trivial algorithm for the solution of the related matroid optimization problem is presented. The new matroid has application in the 0eld of inverse combinatorial optimization problems. We discuss in detail the LP fo...
متن کاملInverse Combinatorial Optimization: A Survey on Problems, Methods, and Results
Given a (combinatorial) optimization problem and a feasible solution to it, the corresponding inverse optimization problem is to find a minimal adjustment of the cost function such that the given solution becomes optimum. Several such problems have been studied in the last ten years. After formalizing the notion of an inverse problem and its variants, we present various methods for solving them...
متن کاملMatroid Bandits: Fast Combinatorial Optimization with Learning
A matroid is a notion of independence in combinatorial optimization which is closely related to computational efficiency. In particular, it is well known that the maximum of a constrained modular function can be found greedily if and only if the constraints are associated with a matroid. In this paper, we bring together the ideas of bandits and matroids, and propose a new class of combinatorial...
متن کاملSelected partial inverse combinatorial optimization problems with forbidden elements
We study the computational complexity of some special partial inverse combinatorial optimization problems where the goal is to change a parameter at minimum cost such that there exists an optimal solution for the underlying combinatorial optimization problem with respect to the modified parameter that does not contain a prespecified set of forbidden elements. We show that the partial inverse pr...
متن کاملSubgradient Optimization, Matroid Problems and Heuristic Evaluation
Many polynomial complete problems can be reduced efficiently to three matroids intersection problems. Subgradient methods are shown to yield very good algorithms for computing tight lower bounds to the solution of these problems. The bounds may be used either to construct heuristically guided (branch-and-bound) methods for solving the problems, or to obtain an upper bound to the difference betw...
