The real-life data have a complex and non-linear structure due to their nature. These non-linearities and the large number of features can usually cause problems such as the empty-space phenomenon and the well-known curse of dimensionality.…
Despite the numerous uses of semidefinite programming (SDP) and its universal solvability via interior point methods (IPMs), it is rarely applied to practical large-scale problems. This mainly owes to the computational cost of IPMs that…
A graph with $n$ vertices is an $f(\cdot)$-dense graph if it has at least $f(n)$ edges, $f(\cdot)$ being a well-defined function. The notion $f(\cdot)$-dense graph encompasses various clique models like $\gamma$-quasi cliques, $k$-defective…
When solving numerical constraints such as nonlinear equations and inequalities, solvers often exploit pruning techniques, which remove redundant value combinations from the domains of variables, at pruning steps. To find the complete…
