The finite-rank Lieb-Thirring inequality provides an estimate on a Riesz sum of the $N$ lowest eigenvalues of a Schr\"odinger operator $-\Delta-V(x)$ in terms of an $L^p(\mathbb{R}^d)$ norm of the potential $V$. We prove here the existence…
Owing to several applications in large scale learning and vision problems, fast submodular function minimization (SFM) has become a critical problem. Theoretically, unconstrained SFM can be performed in polynomial time [IFF 2001, IO 2009].…
