We develop a new framework for generalizing approximation algorithms from the structural graph algorithm literature so that they apply to graphs somewhat close to that class (a scenario we expect is common when working with real-world…

We present two algorithms for constructing orthonormal bases of rational function vectors with respect to a discrete inner product, and discuss how to use them for a rational approximation problem. Building on the pencil-based formulation…

The approximate Carath\'eodory theorem states that given a compact convex set $\mathcal{C}\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ and $p\in\left[2,+\infty\right[$, each point $x^*\in\mathcal{C}$ can be approximated to $\epsilon$-accuracy in the $\ell_p$-norm…

We show that any $n\times m$ matrix $A$ can be approximated in operator norm by a submatrix with a number of columns of order the stable rank of $A$. This improves on existing results by removing an extra logarithmic factor in the size of…
