Let S be a smooth projective surface equipped with a line bundle H. Lehn's conjecture is a formula for the top Segre class of the tautological bundle associated to H on the Hilbert scheme of points of S. Voisin has recently reduced Lehn's…
We describe a randomized algorithm for producing a near-optimal hierarchical off-diagonal low-rank (HODLR) approximation to an $n\times n$ matrix $\mathbf{A}$, accessible only though matrix-vector products with $\mathbf{A}$ and…
We present a simple, accurate method for solving consistent, rank-deficient linear systems, with or without addi- tional rank-completing constraints. Such problems arise in a variety of applications, such as the computation of the…
We extend the herding algorithm to continuous spaces by using the kernel trick. The resulting "kernel herding" algorithm is an infinite memory deterministic process that learns to approximate a PDF with a collection of samples. We show that…
The classical center based clustering problems such as $k$-means/median/center assume that the optimal clusters satisfy the locality property that the points in the same cluster are close to each other. A number of clustering problems arise…
In this paper, we establish sublinear and linear convergence of fixed point iterations generated by averaged operators in a Hilbert space. Our results are achieved under a bounded H\"older regularity assumption which generalizes the…
In the $k$-dispersion problem, we need to select $k$ nodes of a given graph so as to maximize the minimum distance between any two chosen nodes. This can be seen as a generalization of the independent set problem, where the goal is to…
The article deals with the issue of modification of metric classification algorithms. In particular, it studies the algorithm k-Nearest Neighbours for its application to sequential data. A method of generalization of metric classification…
We consider a generalized version of the (weighted) one-center problem on graphs. Given an undirected graph $G$ of $n$ vertices and $m$ edges and a positive integer $k\leq n$, the problem aims to find a point in $G$ so that the maximum…
Consider the following social choice problem. Suppose we have a set of $n$ voters and $m$ candidates that lie in a metric space. The goal is to design a mechanism to choose a candidate whose average distance to the voters is as small as…
Clustering is a popular form of unsupervised learning for geometric data. Unfortunately, many clustering algorithms lead to cluster assignments that are hard to explain, partially because they depend on all the features of the data in a…
In this paper, we study the strong convergence of an algorithm to solve the variational inequality problem which extends(Thong et al, Numerical Algorithms. 78, 1045-1060 (2018)). We have reduced and refined some of their algorithm's…
In this paper, we describe randomized Shellsort--a simple, randomized, data-oblivious version of the Shellsort algorithm that always runs in O(n log n) time and, as we show, succeeds in sorting any given input permutation with very high…
A randomized algorithm for computing a data sparse representation of a given rank structured matrix $A$ (a.k.a. an $H$-matrix) is presented. The algorithm draws on the randomized singular value decomposition (RSVD), and operates under the…
We consider the space of complete and separable metric spaces which are equipped with a probability measure. A notion of convergence is given based on the philosophy that a sequence of metric measure spaces converges if and only if all…
We prove a nested embedding theorem for Hardy-Lorentz spaces and use it to find coefficient multiplier spaces of certain non-locally convex Hardy-Lorentz spaces into various target spaces such as Lebesgue sequence spaces, other Hardy…
By any account, the 1998 proof of the Kepler conjecture is complex. The thesis underlying this article is that the proof is complex because it is highly under-automated. Throughout that proof, manual procedures are used where automated ones…
The purpose of this paper is twofold. On a technical side, we propose an extension of the Hausdorff distance from metric spaces to spaces equipped with asymmetric distance measures. Specifically, we focus on the family of Bregman…
We address the fundamental network design problem of constructing approximate minimum spanners. Our contributions are for the distributed setting, providing both algorithmic and hardness results. Our main hardness result shows that an…
