Submodular functions, maximising
July 8, 2018 — July 8, 2018
Submodular functions arise in the economics of multi-agent games and in various discrete optimization problems that resemble problems I face, but not so much that I actually have anything useful to say. I am mostly making this note to remember the connection with implicit layers via convex relaxations.
