We characterize (0,l) linear programming matrices for which a greedy algorithm and its dual solve certain covering and packing problems. Special cases are shortest path and minimum spanning tree algorithms.

We use the notion of domination ratio introduced by Glover and Punnen in 1997 to present a new classiΓΏcation of combinatorial optimization (CO) problems: DOM-easy and DOM-hard problems. It follows from results already proved in the 1970s that min TSP (both symmetric and asymmetric versions) is DOM-e
A new matroid is introduced: this matroid is deΓΏned starting from any matroid and one of its bases, hence we call it base-matroid. Besides some properties of the base-matroid, a non-trivial algorithm for the solution of the related matroid optimization problem is presented. The new matroid has appli
