Brief introduction to the submodular function minimization problem (Part II)

Submodular functions play a fundamental role in combinatorial optimization, and also appear in seemingly unrelated areas such as information theory and game theory. Finding a set minimizing the value of a given submodular function is the most basic problem around submodular functions. In this talk, we will see the most basic ideas of some existing algorithms to minimize a submodular function. The talk is directed to a non-specialist of combinatorial optimization; It just assumes basic stuffs in discrete math.
