Characterization of integral polyhedra
A rational polyhedron $P \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ is an integral polyhedron if it is the convex hull of its integer points. That is, if $P = conv(P \cap \mathbb{Z}^n)$. Equivalently, $P$ is integral if ...

General covering approximation
Consider the following integer program (general covering): $\min c \cdot x$ subject to $Ax \ge b$, where all entries in $A, b, c$ are nonnegative and $x$ is required to be nonnegative and integral. ...

How to determine proper rounding in linear programming relaxations?
Recall that in the vertex cover problem we are given an undirected graph ${G=(V,E)}$ and we want to find a minimum-size set of vertices ${S}$ that “touches” all the edges of the graph, that is, such ...

How fast can we solve a totally unimodular integer linear program?
(This is a follow-up to this question and its answer.) I have the following totally unimodular (TU) integer linear program (ILP). Here $\ell,m,n_{1},n_{2},\ldots,n_{\ell},c_{1},c_{2},\ldots,c_{m},w$ ...
