Min-max optimization of an objective function $f: \mathbb{R}^d \times \mathbb{R}^d \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is an important model for robustness in an adversarial setting, with applications to many areas including optimization, economics,…

Sparse signal recovery deals with finding the sparsest solution of an under-determined linear system $\vx = \mQ\vs$. In this paper, we propose a novel greedy approach to addressing the challenges from such a problem. Such an approach is…

The asymptotic behaviors of the integrated density of states $N(\lambda)$ of Schr\"odinger operators with nonpositive potentials associated with Gibbs point processes are studied. It is shown that for some Gibbs point processes, the leading…
The goal of this paper is to study the performance of the Thresholding Greedy Algorithm (TGA) when we increase the size of greedy sums by a constant factor $\lambda\geqslant 1$. We introduce the so-called $\lambda$-almost greedy and…
We continue our study of the Thresholding Greedy Algorithm when we restrict the vectors involved in our approximations so that they either are supported on intervals of $\mathbb N$ or have constant coefficients. We introduce and…
We consider the $X$-Greedy Algorithm and the Dual Greedy Algorithm in a finite-dimensional Banach space with a strictly monotone basis as the dictionary. We show that when the dictionary is an initial segment of the Haar basis in $L_p[0,1]$…
Many image processing applications benefited remarkably from the theory of sparsity. One model of sparsity is the cosparse analysis one. It was shown that using l_1-minimization one might stably recover a cosparse signal from a small set of…
We shall present new characterizations of partially greedy and almost greedy bases. A new class of basis (which we call reverse partially greedy basis) arises naturally from these characterizations of partially greedy bases. We also give…
We consider the following interacting particle system: There is a ``gas'' of particles, each of which performs a continuous time simple random walk on the d-dimensional lattice. These particles are called A-particles and move independently…
Sparsity learning with known grouping structure has received considerable attention due to wide modern applications in high-dimensional data analysis. Although advantages of using group information have been well-studied by shrinkage-based…

We consider the problem of optimally utilizing $N$ resources, each in an unknown binary state. The state of each resource can be inferred from state-dependent noisy measurements. Depending on its state, utilizing a resource results in…
A lot of recent activity in the theory of cluster algebras has been directed towards various constructions of "natural" bases in them. One of the approaches to this problem was developed several years ago by P.Sherman - A.Zelevinsky who…
Envy-freeness and Pareto Efficiency are two major goals in welfare economics. The existence of an allocation that satisfies both conditions has been studied for a long time. Whether items are indivisible or divisible, it is impossible to…
We study sparse approximate solutions to convex optimization problems. It is known that in many engineering applications researchers are interested in an approximate solution of an optimization problem as a linear combination of elements…
In recent work, Jon Kleinberg considered a small-world network model consisting of a d-dimensional lattice augmented with shortcuts. The probability of a shortcut being present between two points decays as a power of the distance between…
This paper introduces a new asymptotic regime for simplifying stochastic models having non-stationary effects, such as those that arise in the presence of time-of-day effects. This regime describes an operating environment within which the…
We consider an exploration algorithm where at each step, a random number of items become active while related items get explored. Given an initial number of items $N$ growing to infinity and building on a strong homogeneity assumption, we…
