Enumerating the image of an integer matrix applied to a lattice












0












$begingroup$


Let $Ainmathbb{Z}^{n times m}$ and $xin mathbb{Z}^m$. Also suppose we are given $l,uinmathbb{Z}^m$. I would like to efficiently enumerate
$${Ax ,|, l_i le x_i le u_i text{ for all } i}$$



The subscript $i$ refers to the $i^text{th}$ element of the vector.



$A$ is not necessarily of full rank, so the problem is nontrivial.



Is there a simple algorithm for this problem? Even just a reference would be appreciated.



Thanks.

    What constitutes efficiency? The set you're hoping to enumerate has, in the general case, $J = pi (u_i - l_i)$ entries, each with $n$ entries, so simply writing down the set requires time $Jn$ in the worst case.

    The naiive approach is to enumerate all of the $x$, and compute $Ax$ for each $x$. However, if $A$ is not of full rank, then many of the possible $x$ produce the same value of $Ax$. I would like the complexity of the algorithm to scale with the size of the image and not with the size of the domain.

    "However, if $A$ is not of full rank, then many of the possible $x$ produce the same value of $Ax$" is false in general, although it may be true for some particular bounds. Example: $A = pmatrix{10 & 1 \ 20 & 2}$, $0 le x le 2, 0 le y le 3$. In view of this, I tend to doubt that there's a simple output-dependent algorithm.

    Could you provide more details on the context of the problem? I.e. what sizes are $m$, $n$, and the lattice? Is the rank much smaller than $min(m,n)$? If $A$ is big enough and the rank is small enough there may be heuristic algorithms that work.
