Multimarginal Optimal Transport (MOT) is the problem of linear programming over joint probability distributions with fixed marginals. A key issue in many applications is the complexity of solving MOT: the linear program has exponential size…
We study the minimum diameter spanning tree problem under the reload cost model (DIAMETER-TREE for short) introduced by Wirth and Steffan (2001). In this problem, given an undirected edge-colored graph $G$, reload costs on a path arise at a…
In this study we analyze linear mixed-integer programming problems, in which the distribution of the cost vector is only observable through a finite training data set. In contrast to the related studies, we assume that the number of random…
In this work, we present a novel iterative deep Ritz method (IDRM) for solving a general class of elliptic problems. It is inspired by the iterative procedure for minimizing the loss during the training of the neural network, but at each…

Matrix (or operator) recovery from linear measurements is a well-studied problem. However, there are situations where only bilinear or quadratic measurements are available. A bilinear or quadratic problem can easily be transformed into a…
