The existence of strongly polynomial-time algorithm for linear programming is a cross century international mathematical problem, whose breakthrough will solve a major theoretical crisis for the development of artificial intelligence. In order to make it happen, this paper proposes three solving techniques based on the conecutting theory: 1. The selection of cutter: principles highest vs. deepest;2. The algorithm of column elimination, which is more convenient and effective than the Ye-column elimination theorem;3. A step-down algorithm for a feasible point horizontally shifts to the center and then falls down to the bottom of the dual feasible region D. There will be a nice work combining three techniques, the tri-skill is variant Simplex algorithm to be expected to help readers building the strong polynomialalgorithms. Besides, a variable weight optimization method is proposed in the paper, which opens a new window to bring the linear programming into uncomplicated calculation.

Suppose that we are given a graph whose each vertex is either a supply vertex or a demand vertex and is assigned a nonnegative integer supply or demand value. We consider partitioning G into connected components by removing edges from G so that each connected component has exactly one supply vertex and there exists a flow in each connected component satisfying the supply/demand constraints. The problem that determines the existence of such a partition is called the partition problem. Ito et al. (2005) showed that the partition problem is NP-complete in general and it can be solved in linear time if the given graph is a tree. When the graph does not have such a partition, we scale the demand values uniformly by scale factor r so that the obtained graph has a desired partition. The maximum supply rate problem is the problem that finds the maximum value of such r. Whereas the maximum supply rate problem is NP-hard in general in the same way as the partition problem, Morishita and Nishizeki (2015) gave a weakly polynomial-timealgorithm for the problem on trees. In this paper, we give a first strongly polynomial-time algorithm for the maximum supply rate problem on trees. Our algorithm is based on the dynamic programming technique, in which we compute "surplus" and "deficit" of the supply in subproblems from leaves to the root. We use piecewise linear functions of r to represent them, and one of our important contributions is to bound the size of the representation of each function. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V.

In this work, we advance the understanding of the fundamental limits of computation for binary polynomial optimization (BPO), which is the problem of maximizing a given polynomial function over all binary points. In our main result we provide a novelclass of BPO that can be solved efficiently both from a theoretical and computational perspective. In fact, we give a strongly polynomial-time algorithm for instances whosec orresponding hypergraph is beta-acyclic. We note that the beta-acyclicity assumption isnatural in several applications including relational database schemes and the liftedmulticut problem on trees. Due to the novelty of our proving technique, we obtainan algorithm which is interesting also from a practical viewpoint. This is becauseour algorithm is very simple to implement and the running time is a polynomial ofvery low degree in the number of nodes and edges of the hypergraph. Our result completely settles the computational complexity of BPO over acyclic hypergraphs,since the problem is NP-hard on alpha-acyclic instances. Our algorithm can also be appliedto any general BPO problem that contains beta-cycles. For these problems, the algorithmreturns a smaller instance together with a rule to extend any optimal solution of thesmaller instance to an optimal solution of the original instance.

Min-max spanning tree problem is a classical problem in combinatorial optimization. Its purpose is to find a spanning tree to minimize its maximum edge in a given edge weighted graph. Given a connected graph G, an edge weight vector w and a forest F, the partial inverse min-max spanning tree problem (PIMMST) is to find a new weighted vector w*, so that F can be extended into a min-max spanning tree with respect to w* and the gap between w and w* is minimized. In this paper, we research PIMMST under the weighted bottleneck Hamming distance. Firstly, we study PIMMST with value of optimal tree restriction, a variant of PIMMST, and show that this problem can be solved in stronglypolynomialtime. Then, by characterizing the properties of the value of optimal tree, we present first algorithm for PIMMST under the weighted bottleneck Hamming distance with running time O(vertical bar E vertical bar(2) log vertical bar E vertical bar), where E is the edge set of G. Finally, by giving a necessary and sufficient condition to determine the feasible solution of this problem, we present a better algorithm for this problem with running time O(vertical bar E vertical bar log vertical bar E vertical bar). Moreover, we show that these algorithms can be generalized to solve these problems with capacitated constraint.

We present a market-based approach to the Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) problem. The goods in our market are delays and buyers are airline companies;the latter pay money to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to buy away the desired amount of delay on a per flight basis. We give a notion of equilibrium for this market and an LP whose every optimal solution gives an equilibrium allocation of flights to landing slots as well as equilibrium prices for the landing slots. Via a reduction to matching, we show that this equilibrium can be computed combinatorially in stronglypolynomialtime. Moreover, there is a special set of equilibrium prices, which can be computed easily, that is identical to the VCG solution, and therefore the market is incentive compatible (truthful) in dominant strategy.

We consider a planar graph G in which the edges have nonnegative integer lengths such that the length of every cycle of G is even, and three faces are distinguished, called holes in G. It is known that there exists a packing of cuts and (2,3)-metrics with nonnegative integer weights in G which realizes the distances within each hole. We develop a purely combinatorial strongly polynomial-time algorithm to find such a packing. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
