Abstract:
A submodular polyhedron is a polyhedron associated with a submodular function. This paper presents a strongly polynomial time algorithm for line search in submodular polyhedra with the aid of a fully combinatorial algorithm for submodular function minimization. The algorithm is based on the parametric search method proposed by Megiddo.
