A Row-wise Algorithm for Graph Realization

Given a \(\{0,1\}\)-matrix \(M\), the graph realization problem for \(M\) asks if there exists a spanning forest such that the columns of \(M\) are incidence vectors of paths in the forest. The problem is closely related to the recognition of network matrices, which are a large subclass of totally unimodular matrices and have many applications … Read more

An exact approach to the problem of extracting an embedded network matrix

We study the problem of detecting a maximum embedded network submatrix in a {-1,0,+1}-matrix. Our aim is to solve the problem to optimality. We introduce a 0-1 integer linear formulation for this problem based on its representation over a signed graph. A polyhedral study is presented and a branch-and-cut algorithm is described for finding an … Read more
