The purpose of the paper is to give a complete characterization of the continuity of lower envelopes in the infinite dimensional spaces in terms of the notion of c-regularity. As an application we introduce a variational unconstrained…
We study the least square estimator, in the framework of simple linear regression, when the deviance term $\varepsilon$ with respect to the linear model is modeled by a uniform distribution. In particular, we give the law of this estimator,…
We consider mappings satisfying an upper bound for the distortion of families of curves. We establish lower bounds for the distortion of distances under such mappings. As applications, we obtain theorems on the discreteness of the limit…
Preservers and additive spanners are sparse (hence cheap to store) subgraphs that preserve the distances between given pairs of nodes exactly or with some small additive error, respectively. Since real-world networks are prone to failures,…
The method of ``Total Least Squares'' is proposed as a more natural way (than ordinary least squares) to approximate the data if both the matrix and and the right-hand side are contaminated by ``errors''. In this tutorial note, we give a…
Randomized approximation algorithms for many #P-complete problems (such as the partition function of a Gibbs distribution, the volume of a convex body, the permanent of a $\{0,1\}$-matrix, and many others) reduce to creating random…
We consider approximate circular pattern matching (CPM, in short) under the Hamming and edit distance, in which we are given a length-$n$ text $T$, a length-$m$ pattern $P$, and a threshold $k>0$, and we are to report all starting positions…
We construct sense-preserving univalent harmonic mappings which map the unit disk onto a domain which is convex in the horizontal direction, but with varying dilatation. Also, we obtain minimal surfaces associated with such harmonic…
We consider several characterizations of $\mathbb R$-linear mappings. In particular, we give a characterization of linear mappings whose range is $\geq$ 2 dimensional, in terms of preservation of lines (and contraction of lines to a point)…
This paper presents an improved analysis of a structured dimension-reduction map called the subsampled randomized Hadamard transform. This argument demonstrates that the map preserves the Euclidean geometry of an entire subspace of vectors.…
The computation of (i) $\varepsilon$-kernels, (ii) approximate diameter, and (iii) approximate bichromatic closest pair are fundamental problems in geometric approximation. In this paper, we describe new algorithms that offer significant…
We study linear maps preserving the higher numerical ranges of tensor product of matrices.
Let $X$ be a set of $n$ points of norm at most $1$ in the Euclidean space $R^k$, and suppose $\varepsilon>0$. An $\varepsilon$-distance sketch for $X$ is a data structure that, given any two points of $X$ enables one to recover the square…
Recently, parametric mappings have emerged as highly effective surface representations, yielding low reconstruction error. In particular, the latest works represent the target shape as an atlas of multiple mappings, which can closely encode…
A classical result of Johnson and Lindenstrauss states that a set of $n$ high dimensional data points can be projected down to $O(\log n/\epsilon^2)$ dimensions such that the square of their pairwise distances is preserved up to a small…
This paper considers the problem of nonlinear dimensionality reduction. Unlike existing methods, such as LLE, ISOMAP, which attempt to unfold the true manifold in the low dimensional space, our algorithm tries to preserve the nonlinear…
We provide an O(log log OPT)-approximation algorithm for the problem of guarding a simple polygon with guards on the perimeter. We first design a polynomial-time algorithm for building epsilon-nets of size O(1/epsilon log log 1/epsilon) for…
Recently Paw\l{}ucki showed that compact sets that are definable in some o-minimal structure admit triangulations of class $\mathcal{C}^p$ for each integer $p\geq 1$. In this work, we make use of these new techniques of triangulation to…
The metric sketching problem is defined as follows. Given a metric on $n$ points, and $\epsilon>0$, we wish to produce a small size data structure (sketch) that, given any pair of point indices, recovers the distance between the points up…
Completely positive and trace preserving (CPT) maps are important for Quantum Information Theory, because they describe a broad class of of transformations of quantum states. There are also two other related classes of maps, the unital…
