Motivated by scheduling in Geo-distributed data analysis, we propose a target location problem for multi-commodity flow (LoMuF for short). Given commodities to be sent from their resources, LoMuF aims at locating their targets so that the…
We initiate the study of the heterogeneous facility location problem with limited resources. We mainly focus on the fundamental case where a set of agents are positioned in the line segment [0,1] and have approval preferences over two…
Consider an online facility assignment problem where a set of facilities $F = \{ f_1, f_2, f_3, \cdots, f_{|F|} \}$ of equal capacity $l$ is situated on a metric space and customers arrive one by one in an online manner on that space. We…
We consider Online Facility Location in the framework of learning-augmented online algorithms. In Online Facility Location (OFL), demands arrive one-by-one in a metric space and must be (irrevocably) assigned to an open facility upon…

Concentration of measure has been argued to be the fundamental cause of adversarial vulnerability. Mahloujifar et al. presented an empirical way to measure the concentration of a data distribution using samples, and employed it to find…
This work studies the problem of few-shot object counting, which counts the number of exemplar objects (i.e., described by one or several support images) occurring in the query image. The major challenge lies in that the target objects can…
Concentration properties of functionals of general Poisson processes are studied. Using a modified $\Phi$-Sobolev inequality a recursion scheme for moments is established, which is of independent interest. This is applied to derive moment…

In this work we derive multi-level concentration inequalities for polynomial functions in independent random variables with a $\alpha$-sub-exponential tail decay. A particularly interesting case is given by quadratic forms $f(X_1, \ldots,…
This article is concerned with the numerical solution of subspace optimization problems, consisting of minimizing a smooth functional over the set of orthogonal projectors of fixed rank. Such problems are encountered in particular in…
We study the query complexity of min-max optimization of a nonconvex-nonconcave function $f$ over $[0,1]^d \times [0,1]^d$. We show that, given oracle access to $f$ and to its gradient $\nabla f$, any algorithm that finds an…
We study the competitive facility location problem, where a firm aims to establish new facilities in a market already occupied by competitors. In this problem, customer behavior is crucial for making optimal location decisions. We explore a…
We consider the problem of reconstructing one-dimensional point sources from their Fourier measurements in a bounded interval $[-\Omega, \Omega]$. This problem is known to be challenging in the regime where the spacing of the sources is…

The soft capacitated facility location problem (SCFLP) is a classic combinatorial optimization problem, with its variants widely applied in the fields of operations research and computer science. In the SCFLP, given a set $\mathcal{F}$ of…
In this paper the capacitated hub location problem is formulated by a minimax regret model, which takes into account uncertain setup cost and demand. We focus on hub location with multiple allocations as a strategic problem requiring one…
