Title
On Perturbation Spaces Of Minimal Valid Functions: Inverse Semigroup Theory And Equivariant Decomposition Theorem
Abstract
The non-extreme minimal valid functions for the Gomory-Johnson infinite group problem are those that admit effective perturbations. For a class of piecewise linear functions for the 1-row problem we give a precise description of the space of these perturbations as a direct sum of certain finite- and infinite-dimensional subspaces. The infinite-dimensional subspaces have partial symmetries; to describe them, we develop a theory of inverse semigroups of partial bijections, interacting with the functional equations satisfied by the perturbations. Our paper provides the foundation for grid-free algorithms for testing extremality and for computing liftings of non-extreme functions. The grid-freeness makes the algorithms suitable for piecewise linear functions whose breakpoints are rational numbers with huge denominators.
