We provide an approximation algorithm for k-means clustering in the one-round (aka non-interactive) local model of differential privacy (DP). This algorithm achieves an approximation ratio arbitrarily close to the best non private…

In this paper, we introduce a class of functions that assume only a limited number $\lambda$ of values within a given Hamming $\rho$-ball and call them locally $(\rho, \lambda)$-bounded functions. We develop function-correcting codes (FCCs)…

In this paper, we propose an inexact proximal Newton-type method for nonconvex composite problems. We establish the global convergence rate of the order $\mathcal{O}(k^{-1/2})$ in terms of the minimal norm of the KKT residual mapping and…

We consider approximation of diameter of a set $S$ of $n$ points in dimension $m$. E$\tilde{g}$ecio$\tilde{g}$lu and Kalantari \cite{kal} have shown that given any $p \in S$, by computing its farthest in $S$, say $q$, and in turn the…

An algorithm is given for determining an optimal $b$-step approximation of weighted data, where the error is measured with respect to the $L_\infty$ norm. For data presorted by the independent variable the algorithm takes $\Theta(n + \log n…

We establish the equivalence between the regularity (rectifiability) of sets and suitable estimates on the oscillation of the gradient for smooth non-local distance functions. A prototypical example of such a distance was introduced, as…

We construct a family of closeness functions on the space of finite volume Lorentzian geometries using the abundance of discrete intervals in the underlying random causal sets. Although strictly weaker than a Lorentzian Gromov-Hausdorff…

An approximation, in the sense of $\Gamma$-convergence and in any dimension $d\geq1$, of Griffith-type functionals, with $p-$growth ($p>1$) in the symmetrized gradient, is provided by means of a sequence of non-local integral functionals…

The importance of the Lieb-Simon proof of the relative exactness of Thomas-Fermi theory in the large-Z limit to modern density functional theory (DFT) is explored. The principle, that there is a specific semiclassical limit in which…

To a polynomial $f$ over a non-archimedean local field $K$ and a character $\chi$ of the group of units of the valuation ring of $K$ one associates Igusa's local zeta function $Z(s,f,\chi)$. In this paper, we study the local zeta function…

We show that if $f\colon S_n \to \{0,1\}$ is $\epsilon$-close to linear in $L_2$ and $\mathbb{E}[f] \leq 1/2$ then $f$ is $O(\epsilon)$-close to a union of "mostly disjoint" cosets, and moreover this is sharp: any such union is close to…

For a polynomial f: {-1, 1}^n --> C, we define the partition function as the average of e^{lambda f(x)} over all points x in {-1, 1}^n, where lambda in C is a parameter. We present a quasi-polynomial algorithm, which, given such f, lambda…

For a function $f \colon \{0,1\}^n \to \{0,1\}$, the junta testing problem asks whether $f$ depends on only $k$ variables. If $f$ depends on only $k$ variables, the feature selection problem asks to find those variables. We prove that these…
