We study the query complexity of min-max optimization of a nonconvex-nonconcave function $f$ over $[0,1]^d \times [0,1]^d$. We show that, given oracle access to $f$ and to its gradient $\nabla f$, any algorithm that finds an…
Quantum algorithm can find target item in a database faster than any classical. One can trade accuracy for speed and find a part of the database (a block) containing the target item even faster: this is partial search. One can think of…
One of the actual problems in the field of numerical optimisation, as is well known, is the problem of the search for the global extremum of a multivariate function [1-9,13,14,17-21]. Various versions of the random search methods [6,8,9]…
Simon in his FOCS'94 paper was the first to show an exponential gap between classical and quantum computation. The problem he dealt with is now part of a well-studied class of problems, the hidden subgroup problems. We study Simon's problem…
Many existing branch and bound algorithms for multiobjective optimization problems require a significant computational cost to approximate the entire Pareto optimal solution set. In this paper, we propose a new branch and bound algorithm…
This work generalizes the binary search problem to a $d$-dimensional domain $S_1\times\cdots\times S_d$, where $S_i=\{0, 1, \ldots,n_i-1\}$ and $d\geq 1$, in the following way. Given $(t_1,\ldots,t_d)$, the target element to be found, the…

We examine the following version of a classic combinatorial search problem introduced by R\'enyi: Given a finite set $X$ of $n$ elements we want to identify an unknown subset $Y \subset X$ of exactly $d$ elements by testing, by as few as…
Designing an incentive compatible auction that maximizes expected revenue is an intricate task. The single-item case was resolved in a seminal piece of work by Myerson in 1981, but more than 40 years later a full analytical understanding of…
We present the first class of mathematically rigorous, general, fully self-referential, self-improving, optimally efficient problem solvers. Inspired by Kurt Goedel's celebrated self-referential formulas (1931), such a problem solver…
Recent advancements in bidirectional heuristic search have yielded significant theoretical insights and novel algorithms. While most previous work has concentrated on optimal search methods, this paper focuses on bounded-suboptimal…
