Maximization of submodular functions under various constraints is a fundamental problem that has been studied extensively. A powerful technique that has emerged and has been shown to be extremely effective for such problems is the following. First, a continues relaxation of the problem is obtained by relaxing the (discrete) set of feasible solutions to a convex body, and extending the discrete submodular function $f$ to a continuous function $F$ known as the multilinear extension. Then, two algorithmic steps are implemented. The first step approximately solves the relaxation by finding a fractional solution within the convex body that approximately maximizes $F$; and the second step rounds this fractional solution to a feasible integral solution. While this ``fractionally solve and then round'' approach has been a key technique for resolving many questions in the field, the main drawback of algorithms based on it is that evaluating the multilinear extension may require a number of value oracle queries to $f$ that is exponential in the size of $f$'s ground set. The only known way to tackle this issue is to approximate the value of $F$ via sampling, which makes all algorithms based on this approach inherently randomized and quite slow. In this work, we introduce a new tool, that we refer to as the extended multilinear extension, designed to derandomize submodular maximization algorithms that are based on the successful ``solve fractionally and then round'' approach. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this new tool on the fundamental problem of maximizing a submodular function subject to a matroid constraint, and show that it allows for a deterministic implementation of both the fractionally solving step and the rounding step of the above approach. As a bonus, we also get a randomized algorithm for the problem with an improved query complexity.
