We consider the linear regression problem, where the number $p$ of covariates is possibly larger than the number $n$ of observations $(x_{i},y_{i})_{i\leq i \leq n}$, under sparsity assumptions. On the one hand, several methods have been…

While most methods for solving mixed-integer optimization problems compute a single optimal solution, a diverse set of near-optimal solutions can often lead to improved outcomes. We present a new method for finding a set of diverse…

We present a novel feature selection technique, Sparse Linear Centroid-Encoder (SLCE). The algorithm uses a linear transformation to reconstruct a point as its class centroid and, at the same time, uses the $\ell_1$-norm penalty to filter…

In the paper, we proposed the Dantzig selector based on the $l_{p-q}$ ($0<p\leq1, 1<q\leq2$) minimization for the signal recovery. First, we establish the convex combination representation of sparse vectors under the $l_{p-q}$ minimization…
