Binary X-rays of doubly stochastic matrices

Abstract

The X-ray of a permutation is a sequence of sums along each diagonal of the associated permutation matrix. They satisfy certain necessary constraints on distribution of the values, which are conjectured to be sufficient when the sequence is binary. By re-expressing the constraints in a form that allows for real-valued relaxations, we prove that these binary sequences are always X-rays of doubly stochastic matrices.

It's Hard to PArcK

We show that Partizan Arc Kayles (PArcK), a generalization of Domineering to graphs, is PSPACE-complete via a reduction from Positive CNF and with recently-discovered techniques for creating PArcK positions with high temperature. The reduction uses only red and blue edges.

Column Number of Delta-modular matrices: Refined Analysis via Sauer Matrices

In this paper, we build upon the analysis initiated by Gennadiy Averkov and Matthias Schymura (2022) and establish that the number of distinct columns of a $Δ$-modular matrix $A \in \mathbb{Z}^{m \times n}$ of rank $m$ is $O(m^3 Δ)$. This upper bound was previously known only for odd values of $Δ$. Recall that a matrix is called $Δ$-modular if the maximum of the absolute values of its $m \times m$ minors equals $Δ$.
