30/10/2025 - 15.00 - CORE B.-135Totally equimodular matrices: decomposition and triangulation.Abstract: One way of obtaining strong combinatorial min-max theorems is to study if a system of linear inequalities Ax≤b is totally dual integral (TDI). The MaxFlow-MinCut theorem of Ford and Fulkerson is one fine example.

23/10/2025 - CORE B-135 An exact algorithm for robust influence maximizationAbstract: We propose a Branch-and-Cut algorithm for the robust influence maximization problem. The influence maximization problem aims to identify, in a social network, a set of given cardinality comprising actors that are able to influence the maximum number of other actors.
