Parametric integer programming in fixed dimension

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We consider the following problem: Given a rational matrix AinsetQmimesn and a rational polyhedron QsubseteqsetRm+p, decide if for all vectors binsetRm, for which there exists an integral zinsetZp such that (b,z)inQ, the system of linear inequalities Axleqb has an integral solution. We show that there exists an algorithm that solves this problem in polynomial time if p and n are fixed. This extends a result of Kannan (1990) who established such an algorithm for the case when, in addition to p and n, the affine dimension of Q is fixed. As an application of this result, we describe an algorithm to find the maximum difference between the optimum values of an integer program maxcx:Axleqb,xinsetZn and its linear programming relaxation over all right-hand sides b, for which the integer program is feasible. The algorithm is polynomial if n is fixed. This is an extension of a recent result of Hoc{s}ten and Sturmfels (2003) who presented such an algorithm for integer programs in standard form.
