Consider the empirical risk minimization (ERM) problem, which is stated as follows. Let $K_1, \dots, K_m$ be compact convex sets with $K_i \subseteq \mathbb{R}^{n_i}$ for $i \in [m]$, $n = \sum_{i=1}^m n_i$, and $n_i\le C_K$ for some…

We consider the problem of reconstructing an infinite set of sparse, finite-dimensional vectors, that share a common sparsity pattern, from incomplete measurements. This is in contrast to the work [17], where the single vector signal can be…

We initiate the study of sparse recovery problems under the Earth-Mover Distance (EMD). Specifically, we design a distribution over m x n matrices A such that for any x, given Ax, we can recover a k-sparse approximation to x under the EMD…

It is a notorious open question whether integer programs (IPs), with an integer coefficient matrix $M$ whose subdeterminants are all bounded by a constant $\Delta$ in absolute value, can be solved in polynomial time. We answer this question…

This paper addresses the problem of decomposing a numerical semigroup into m-irreducible numerical semigroups. The problem originally stated in algebraic terms is translated, introducing the so called Kunz-coordinates, to resolve a series…

A $d$-dimensional zero-one matrix $A$ avoids another $d$-dimensional zero-one matrix $P$ if no submatrix of $A$ can be transformed to $P$ by changing some ones to zeroes. Let $f(n,P,d)$ denote the maximum number of ones in a $d$-dimensional…

Given vectors $v_1,\dots,v_n\in\mathbb{R}^d$ and a matroid $M=([n],I)$, we study the problem of finding a basis $S$ of $M$ such that $\det(\sum_{i \in S}v_i v_i^\top)$ is maximized. This problem appears in a diverse set of areas such as…

We investigate the sparse recovery problem of reconstructing a high-dimensional non-negative sparse vector from lower dimensional linear measurements. While much work has focused on dense measurement matrices, sparse measurement schemes are…

The intention of this note is two-fold. First, we study integer optimization problems in standard form defined by $A \in\mathbb{Z}^{m\times{}n}$ and present an algorithm to solve such problems in polynomial-time provided that both the…

Given positive integers $k\leq d$ and a finite field $\mathbb{F}$, a set $S\subset\mathbb{F}^{d}$ is $(k,c)$-subspace evasive if every $k$-dimensional affine subspace contains at most $c$ elements of $S$. By a simple averaging argument, the…

This paper studies sparse super-resolution in arbitrary dimensions. More precisely, it develops a theoretical analysis of support recovery for the so-called BLASSO method, which is an off-the-grid generalisation of l1 regularization (also…
