The paper gives a systematic study of the approximate versions of three greedy-type algorithms that are widely used in convex optimization. By approximate version we mean the one where some of evaluations are made with an error. Importance…

For the classical maximum coverage problem, the greedy algorithm achieves a worst-case $1-1/e$ approximation, which is optimal unless $\text{P} = \text{NP}$. The notion of coverage appears in a wide range of optimization tasks, where…
In this article we prove that the minimum-degree greedy algorithm, with adversarial tie-breaking, is a $(2/3)$-approximation for the Maximum Independent Set problem on interval graphs. We show that this is tight, even on unit interval…
We study greedy approximation in uniformly smooth Banach spaces. The Weak Chebyshev Greedy Algorithm (WCGA) is defined for any Banach space $X$ and a dictionary $\mathcal{D}$, and provides nonlinear $n$-term approximation with respect to…
We present some new results concerning Lebesgue-type inequalities for the Weak Chebyshev Greedy Algorithm (WCGA) in uniformly smooth Banach spaces $\mathbb{X}$. First, we generalize a result of Temlyakov to cover situations in which the…
In this paper we prove that there exists a function which $f(x)$ belongs to $L^1[0,1]$ such that a greedy algorithm with regard to the Walsh subsystem does not converge to $f(x)$ in $L^1[0,1]$ norm, i.e. the Walsh subsystem $\{W_{n_k}\}$ is…
We investigate various aspects of the "weighted" greedy algorithm with respect to a Schauder basis. For a weight w, we describe w-greedy, w-almost-greedy and w-partially-greedy bases, and show some properties of w-semi-greedy bases. To…
In the context of Gaussian conditioning, greedy algorithms iteratively select the most informative measurements, given an observed Gaussian random variable. However, the convergence analysis for conditioning Gaussian random variables…
In this paper we proof that there exists a function f(x) belongs to L^1[0,1] such that a greedy algorithm with regard to generalized Walsh system does not converge to f(x) in L^1[0,1] norm, i.e. the generalized Walsh system is not a…
A deterministic approximation algorithm is presented for the maximization of non-monotone submodular functions over a ground set of size $n$ subject to cardinality constraint $k$; the algorithm is based upon the idea of interlacing two…
Kernel-based methods provide flexible and accurate algorithms for the reconstruction of functions from meshless samples. A major question in the use of such methods is the influence of the samples locations on the behavior of the…

Let $X$ be a Banach space and $\mathcal{K}$ be a compact subset in $X$. We consider a greedy algorithm for finding an $n$-dimensional subspace $V_n\subset X$ which can be used to approximate the elements of $\mathcal{K}$. We are interested…
We define a family of weak thresholding greedy algorithms for the multivariate Haar basis for $L_1[0,1]^d$ ($d \ge 1$). We prove convergence and uniform boundedness of the weak greedy approximants for all $f \in L_1[0,1]^d$.
Considering the set cover problem, by modifying the approach that gives a logarithmic approximation guarantee for the greedy algorithm, we obtain an estimation of the greedy algorithm's accuracy for a particular input. We compare the…
In many prediction problems, it is not uncommon that the number of variables used to construct a forecast is of the same order of magnitude as the sample size, if not larger. We then face the problem of constructing a prediction in the…
The "classical" (weak) greedy algorithm is widely used within model order reduction in order to compute a reduced basis in the offline training phase: An a posteriori error estimator is maximized and the snapshot corresponding to the…
We study the problem of distributed state estimation in a network of sensing units that can exchange their measurements but the rate of communication between the units is constrained. The units collect noisy, possibly only partial…
