Optimizing sparsity over lattices and semigroups

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Motivated by problems in optimization we study the sparsity of the solutions to systems of linear Diophantine equations and linear integer programs, i.e., the number of non-zero entries of a solution, which is often referred to as the ell0-norm. Our main results are improved bounds on the ell0-norm of sparse solutions to systems Ax=b, where AinmathbbZmimesn, binmathbbZm and x is either a general integer vector (lattice case) or a non-negative integer vector (semigroup case). In the lattice case and certain scenarios of the semigroup case, we give polynomial time algorithms for computing solutions with ell0-norm satisfying the obtained bounds.
