MATROIDS AND INTEGER PROGRAMMING

This is a specialized advanced course to study structural and optimization aspects of matroids and their variants, including anti-matroids, greedoids, and oriented matroids. Related combinatorial aspects of integer programming problems may also be studied. Students should be familiar with basic aspects of combinatorics as discussed in Math 470 / CS 471.
