We design a new distribution over $\poly(r \eps^{-1}) \times n$ matrices $S$ so that for any fixed $n \times d$ matrix $A$ of rank $r$, with probability at least 9/10, $\norm{SAx}_2 = (1 \pm \eps)\norm{Ax}_2$ simultaneously for all $x \in…
For an optimization problem $\Pi$ on graphs whose solutions are vertex sets, a vertex $v$ is called $c$-essential for $\Pi$ if all solutions of size at most $c \cdot OPT$ contain $v$. Recent work showed that polynomial-time algorithms to…
The Coxeter lattices, which we denote $A_{n/m}$, are a family of lattices containing many of the important lattices in low dimensions. This includes $A_n$, $E_7$, $E_8$ and their duals $A_n^*$, $E_7^*$ and $E_8^*$. We consider the problem…
The (non-uniform) sparsest cut problem is the following graph-partitioning problem: given a "supply" graph, and demands on pairs of vertices, delete some subset of supply edges to minimize the ratio of the supply edges cut to the total…

We show improved fine-grained hardness of two key lattice problems in the $\ell_p$ norm: Bounded Distance Decoding to within an $\alpha$ factor of the minimum distance ($\mathrm{BDD}_{p, \alpha}$) and the (decisional) $\gamma$-approximate…
We present an efficient reduction from the Bounded integer programming (BIP) to the Subspace avoiding problem (SAP) in lattice theory. The reduction has some special properties with some interesting consequences. The first is the new upper…
In this note we give a polynomial time algorithm for solving the closest vector problem in the class of zonotopal lattices. The Voronoi cell of a zonotopal lattice is a zonotope, i.e. a projection of a regular cube. Examples of zonotopal…

In the Directed Latency problem, we are given an asymmetric metric on a set of vertices (or clients), and a given depot $s$. We seek a path $P$ starting at $s$ and visiting all the clients so as to minimize the sum of client waiting times…
Vector perturbation (VP) precoding is an effective nonlinear precoding technique in the downlink (DL) with modulo channels, providing an approximation of dirty paper coding (DPC) which is capacity-achieving. Especially, when combined with…

Sparse inverse covariance selection is a fundamental problem for analyzing dependencies in high dimensional data. However, such a problem is difficult to solve since it is NP-hard. Existing solutions are primarily based on convex…

In this paper, we present a construction of a `matching sparsifier', that is, a sparse subgraph of the given graph that preserves large matchings approximately and is robust to modifications of the graph. We use this matching sparsifier to…

We introduce and study the \emph{Lattice Distortion Problem} (LDP). LDP asks how "similar" two lattices are. I.e., what is the minimal distortion of a linear bijection between the two lattices? LDP generalizes the Lattice Isomorphism…
We consider coGapSVP_\sqrt{n}, a gap version of the shortest vector in a lattice problem. This problem is known to be in AM\cap coNP but is not known to be in NP or in MA. We prove that it lies inside QMA, the quantum analogue of NP. This…
