Correlation Clustering is a classic clustering objective arising in numerous machine learning and data mining applications. Given a graph $G=(V,E)$, the goal is to partition the vertex set into clusters so as to minimize the number of edges…
For every couple (p;q) of strictly positive integers, the `` alternate congruo-harmonic '' series parametrized by (p;q), whose general term is (-1)^k/(pk+q), converges infra-linearly and very slowly. On the basis of a generalized continued…
In this paper, we seek a natural problem and a natural distribution of instances such that any $O(n^{c-\epsilon})$-time algorithm fails to solve most instances drawn from the distribution, while the problem admits an $n^{c+o(1)}$-time…
Nesterov's accelerated gradient (AG) method for minimizing a smooth strongly convex function $f$ is known to reduce $f({\bf x}_k)-f({\bf x}^*)$ by a factor of $\epsilon\in(0,1)$ after $k=O(\sqrt{L/\ell}\log(1/\epsilon))$ iterations, where…
Estimation of actual errors from the residue in iterative solutions is necessary for efficient solution of large problems when their condition number is much larger than one. Such estimators for conjugate gradient algorithms used to solve…

In this work, we show the first worst-case to average-case reduction for the classical $k$-SUM problem. A $k$-SUM instance is a collection of $m$ integers, and the goal of the $k$-SUM problem is to find a subset of $k$ elements that sums to…
This paper presents an $O(\log\log \bar{d})$ round massively parallel algorithm for $1+\epsilon$ approximation of maximum weighted $b$-matchings, using near-linear memory per machine. Here $\bar{d}$ denotes the average degree in the graph…
We describe a model that enables us to analyze the running time of an algorithm in a computer with a memory hierarchy with limited associativity, in terms of various cache parameters. Our model, an extension of Aggarwal and Vitter's I/O…
