We propose an efficient method to compute a small set of integer-constrained cone singularities, which induce a rotationally seamless conformal parameterization with low distortion. Since the problem only involves discrete variables, i.e.,…
A property $\Pi$ on a finite set $U$ is \emph{monotone} if for every $X \subseteq U$ satisfying $\Pi$, every superset $Y \subseteq U$ of $X$ also satisfies $\Pi$. Many combinatorial properties can be seen as monotone properties. The problem…

We establish new lower-bounds for the information complexity of mixed-integer convex optimization under two "bit-wise" oracles. The first oracle provides bits of first-order information in the standard coordinate model, and the second…
We assume the permutation $\pi$ is given by an $n$-element array in which the $i$-th element denotes the value $\pi(i)$. Constructing its inverse in-place (i.e. using $O(\log{n})$ bits of additional memory) can be achieved in linear time…
We have rediscovered a simple algorithm to compute the mathematical constant \[ \pi=3.14159265\cdots. \] The algorithm had been known for a long time but it might not be recognized as a fast, practical algorithm. The time complexity of it…

A mixed integer maximization problem involving several additional constraints defined with both a lower and an upper bound is considered. It is assumed that one of such constraints is more restrictive than the others. As it can be seen as a…
We exhibit an algorithm to compute the strongest polynomial (or algebraic) invariants that hold at each location of a given affine program (i.e., a program having only non-deterministic (as opposed to conditional) branching and all of whose…
In this paper, we compute the tightest possible bounds on the probability that the optimal value of a combinatorial optimization problem in maximization form with a random objective exceeds a given number, assuming only knowledge of the…
This paper is concerned with the hard thresholding operator which sets all but the $k$ largest absolute elements of a vector to zero. We establish a {\em tight} bound to quantitatively characterize the deviation of the thresholded solution…
In probabilistic logic entailments, even moderate size problems can yield linear constraint systems with so many variables that exact methods are impractical. This difficulty can be remedied in many cases of interest by introducing a three…
Finite unit norm tight frames provide Parseval-like decompositions of vectors in terms of redundant components of equal weight. They are known to be exceptionally robust against additive noise and erasures, and as such, have great potential…
A procedure and theoretical results are presented for the problem of determining a minimal robust positively invariant (RPI) set for a linear discrete-time system subject to unknown, bounded disturbances. The procedure computes, via the…
What is the value of input information in solving linear programming? The celebrated ellipsoid algorithm tells us that the full information of input constraints is not necessary; the algorithm works as long as there exists an oracle that,…
In this paper, we investigate optimization problems with nonnegative and orthogonal constraints, where any feasible matrix of size $n \times p$ exhibits a sparsity pattern such that each row accommodates at most one nonzero entry. Our…
We study the reformulation of integer linear programs by means of a mixed integer linear program with fewer integer variables. Such reformulations can be solved efficiently with mixed integer linear programming techniques. We exhibit…
