Research Abstract

We have investigated large-scale discrete optimization problems by paying special attention to submodular structures which are effective to devise efficient algorithms. Specifically we have examined discrete optimization problems related to network flows, matchings, multiflows, facility location, resource allocation,graph connectivity, communication network design, and queueing networks, discrete structures arisen in dual greedy algorithms such as dual greedy polyhedra and zonotopes,discrete structures for Horn functions and stable matching problems, and so on to establish the fundamental theory and fast algorithms by integrating the knowledge and insights gained on the individual discrete structures.
