Nearly Euclidean Thurston (NET) maps are described by simple diagrams which admit a natural notion of size. Given a size bound $C$, there are finitely many diagrams of size at most $C$. Given a NET map $F$ presented by a diagram of size at…
An algorithm for solving smooth nonconvex optimization problems is proposed that, in the worst-case, takes $\mathcal{O}(\epsilon^{-3/2})$ iterations to drive the norm of the gradient of the objective function below a prescribed positive…
Gomory-Hu tree [Gomory and Hu, 1961] is a succinct representation of pairwise minimum cuts in an undirected graph. When the input graph has general edge weights, classic algorithms need at least cubic running time to compute a Gomory-Hu…
This paper investigates the feasibility of using Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) for classical motion planning problems. We propose guiding both continuous and discrete planning algorithms using GNNs' ability to robustly encode the topology of…
We consider the problem of augmenting an n-vertex graph embedded in a metric space, by inserting one additional edge in order to minimize the diameter of the resulting graph. We present exact algorithms for the cases when (i) the input…
In this paper, we consider an unconstrained optimization model where the objective is a sum of a large number of possibly nonconvex functions, though overall the objective is assumed to be smooth and convex. Our bid to solving such model…
Incremental Newton (IN) iteration, proposed by Iannazzo, is stable for computing the matrix $p$th root, and its computational cost is $\mathcal{O}(n^3p)$ flops per iteration. In this paper, a cost-efficient variant of IN iteration is…
Although strongly regular graphs and the hypercube are not complete, they are "sufficiently complete" such that a randomly walking quantum particle asymptotically searches on them in the same $\Theta(\sqrt{N})$ time as on the complete…
In order to compensate for the higher cost of double double and quad double arithmetic when solving large polynomial systems, we investigate the application of NVIDIA Tesla K20C general purpose graphics processing unit. The focus on this…
On large-scales, comparable to the horizon, the observable clustering properties of galaxies are affected by various general relativistic effects. To calculate these effects one needs to consistently solve for the metric, densities and…

A geometrical approach to the calculation of N-point Feynman diagrams is reviewed. It is shown that the geometrical splitting yields useful connections between Feynman integrals with different momenta and masses. It is demonstrated how…
Quantum walks are at the heart of modern quantum technologies. They allow to deal with quantum transport phenomena and are an advanced tool for constructing novel quantum algorithms. Quantum walks on graphs are fundamentally different from…
We introduce a new structural graph parameter called \emph{partial matching width}. For each (sufficiently large) integer $k \geq 1$, we introduce a class $\mathcal{G}_k$ of graphs of treewidth at most $k$ and max-degree $7$ such that for…
In classical computation, a problem can be solved in multiple steps where calculated results of each step can be copied and used repeatedly. While in quantum computation, it is difficult to realize a similar multi-step computation process…
A common theoretical approach to understanding neural networks is to take an infinite-width limit, at which point the outputs become Gaussian process (GP) distributed. This is known as a neural network Gaussian process (NNGP). However, the…
The Total Least Squares solution of an overdetermined, approximate linear equation $Ax \approx b$ minimizes a nonlinear function which characterizes the backward error. We show that a globally convergent variant of the Gauss--Newton…

In this paper we consider the problem of finding the optimal step length for the Newton method on the class of self-concordant functions, with the decrease in function value as criterion. We formulate this problem as an optimal control…
The cover time of a finite connected graph is the expected number of steps needed for a simple random walk on the graph to visit all the vertices. It is known that the cover time on any n-vertex, connected graph is at least (1+o(1)) n…
