Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research project was to study new enumeration algorithms in linear programming and combinatorial optimization and to implement them on computers. The main results of this two year research can be summerized as follows: 1. We have made a Mathematica implementation of the Avis-Fukuda algorithm for enumerating all vertices of a convex polytype, and made it publicly available. 2. We have developed the notion of reverse search, which is a new general framework of enumeration. We have shown that this technique can be applied to solve various enumeration problems efficiently. 3. A Mathematica implementation of the reverse search algorithm has been developed as a unified platform for enumerating several different objects, including the connected induced subgraphs in a graph, the cells in an arrangement of hyperplanes in R^n and the triangulations of a finite set of points in the plane. 4. New (Non-reverse-search) algorithms have been developed for two problems,namely, the enumeration of common bases of two matroids and the combinatorial face enumeration in convex polytypes.
