Computing an Integer Point of a Class of Convex Sets

Abstract

A simplicial algorithm is proposed for computing an integer point of a convex set C⊂Rn satisfying $$x = \max \{ x^1 ,x^2 \} = (\max \{ _1^1 ,x_1^2 \} ,...,\max \{ x_n^1 ,x_n^2 \} ^T \in C,$$ with $$x^1 = (x_1^1 ,x_2^1 ,...,x_n^1 )^T \in C,{\text{ }}x^2 = (x_1^2 ,x_2^2 ,...,x_n^2 )^T \in C.$$ The algorithm subdivides R n into integer simplices and assigns an integer labelto each integer point of R n. Starting at an arbitraryinteger point, the algorithm follows a finite simplicial path that leads either to an integer point of C or to the conclusion that C has no integer point.
