The problem of finding a best approximation pair of two sets, which in turn generalizes the well known convex feasibility problem, has a long history that dates back to work by Cheney and Goldstein in 1959. In 2018, Aharoni, Censor, and…

Consider the integer best approximations of a linear form in $n\ge 2$ real variables. While it is well-known that any tail of this sequence always spans a lattice is sharp for any $n\ge 2$. In this paper, we determine the exact Hausdorff…

We study how good a lexicographically maximal solution is in the weighted matching and matroid intersection problems. A solution is lexicographically maximal if it takes as many heaviest elements as possible, and subject to this, it takes…

Methods that align distributions by minimizing an adversarial distance between them have recently achieved impressive results. However, these approaches are difficult to optimize with gradient descent and they often do not converge well…

In the stable marriage and roommates problems, a set of agents is given, each of them having a strictly ordered preference list over some or all of the other agents. A matching is a set of disjoint pairs of mutually accepted agents. If any…

We investigate the problem of approximating an incomplete preference relation $\succsim$ on a finite set by a complete preference relation. We aim to obtain this approximation in such a way that the choices on the basis of two preferences,…
