The task of approximating a function of d variables from its evaluations at a given number of points is ubiquitous in numerical analysis and engineering applications. When d is large, this task is challenged by the so-called curse of…
Optimization of frame structures is formulated as a~non-convex optimization problem, which is currently solved to local optimality. In this contribution, we investigate four optimization approaches: (i) general non-linear optimization, (ii)…
We introduce the \emph{submodular objectives chasing problem}, which generalizes many natural and previously-studied problems: a sequence of constrained submodular maximization problems is revealed over time, with both the objective and…

An algorithm for computing an analytic function of a matrix $A$ is described. The algorithm is intended for the case where $A$ has some close eigenvalues, and clusters (subsets) of close eigenvalues are separated from each other. This…
We show an equivalence between 1-query quantum algorithms and representations by degree-2 polynomials. Namely, a partial Boolean function $f$ is computable by a 1-query quantum algorithm with error bounded by $\epsilon<1/2$ iff $f$ can be…
In this paper, we first propose a new Levenberg-Marquardt method for solving constrained (and not necessarily square) nonlinear systems. Basically, the method combines the unconstrained Levenberg-Marquardt method with a type of feasible…
