Sparse linear regression is a central problem in high-dimensional statistics. We study the correlated random design setting, where the covariates are drawn from a multivariate Gaussian $N(0,\Sigma)$, and we seek an estimator with small…

Motivated by the fact that in several cases a matching in a graph is stable if and only if it is produced by a greedy algorithm, we study the problem of computing a maximum weight greedy matching on weighted graphs, termed GreedyMatching.…

The Minimum Linear Arrangement problem (MLA) consists of finding a mapping $\pi$ from vertices of a graph to distinct integers that minimizes $\sum_{\{u,v\}\in E}|\pi(u) - \pi(v)|$. In that setting, vertices are often assumed to lie on a…
