The classic algorithm [Papadimitriou, J.ACM '81] for IPs has a running time $n^{O(m)}(m\cdot\max\{\Delta,\|\textbf{b}\|_{\infty}\})^{O(m^2)}$, where $m$ is the number of constraints, $n$ is the number of variables, and $\Delta$ and…
We derive sufficient conditions for a probability measure on a finite product space (a spin system) to satisfy a (modified) logarithmic Sobolev inequality. We establish these conditions for various examples, such as the (vertex-weighted)…
Let $f:2^{E} \rightarrow \mathbb{Z}_+$ be a submodular function on a ground set $E = [n]$, and let $P(f)$ denote its extended polymatroid. Given a direction $d \in \mathbb{Z}^n$ with at least one positive entry, the line search problem is…
Let $L^{s,p}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ denote the homogeneous Sobolev-Slobodeckij space. In this paper, we demonstrate the existence of a bounded linear extension operator from the jet space $J^{\lfloor s \rfloor}_E L^{s,p}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ to…
Suppose that $X_1,X_2,\ldots$ are independent identically distributed Bernoulli random variables with mean $p$. A Bernoulli factory for a function $f$ takes as input $X_1,X_2,\ldots$ and outputs a random variable that is Bernoulli with mean…
We study the problem of maximizing a function that is approximately submodular under a cardinality constraint. Approximate submodularity implicitly appears in a wide range of applications as in many cases errors in evaluation of a…
We give a new characterization of Sobolev-Slobodeckij spaces W^{1+s,p} for n/p<1+s, where n is the dimension of the domain. To achieve this we introduce a family of curvature energies inspired by the classical concept of integral Menger…
We find the optimal function norm on the left-hand side of the $m$th order Sobolev type inequality $\|u\|_{Y(\mathbb{H}^n)} \leq C \|\nabla_g^m u\|_{X(\mathbb{H}^n)}$ in the $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^n$, $1\leq m < n$.…
We present an $L_{p}$-theory ($p\geq 2$) for time-fractional stochastic partial differential equations driven by L\'evy processes of the type $$ \partial^{\alpha}_{t}u=\sum_{i,j=1}^d a^{ij}u_{x^{i}x^{j}}…
The convolution between a text string $S$ of length $N$ and a pattern string $P$ of length $m$ can be computed in $O(N \log m)$ time by FFT. It is known that various types of approximate string matching problems are reducible to…
We study the problem of ranking with submodular valuations. An instance of this problem consists of a ground set $[m]$, and a collection of $n$ monotone submodular set functions $f^1, \ldots, f^n$, where each $f^i: 2^{[m]} \to R_+$. An…

We provide algorithms for computing a Lyapunov function for a class of systems where the state trajectories are constrained to evolve within a closed convex set. The dynamical systems that we consider comprise a differential equation which…
These lecture notes contain an extended version of the material presented in the C.I.M.E. summer course in 2017, aiming to give a detailed introduction to the metric Sobolev theory. The notes are divided in four main parts. The first one is…
The extended L\"uroth's Theorem says that if the transcendence degree of $\KK(\mathsf{f}_1,\dots,\mathsf{f}_m)/\KK$ is 1 then there exists $f \in \KK(\underline{X})$ such that $\KK(\mathsf{f}_1,\dots,\mathsf{f}_m)$ is equal to $\KK(f)$. In…
We develop fast and memory efficient numerical methods for learning functions of many variables that admit sparse representations in terms of general bounded orthonormal tensor product bases. Such functions appear in many applications…
We prove local in time well-posedness in Sobolev spaces of the Cauchy problem for semi-linear p-evolution equations of the first order with real principal part, but complex valued coefficients for the lower order terms, assuming decay…
We establish the higher differentiability of solutions to a class of obstacle problems for integral functionals where the convex integrand f satisfies p-growth conditions with respect to the gradient variable. We derive that the higher…
In the moldable job scheduling problem one has to assign a set of $n$ jobs to $m$ machines, in order to minimize the time it takes to process all jobs. Each job is moldable, so it can be assigned not only to one but any number of the equal…
