We consider the problem of reconstructing a rank-$k$ $n \times n$ matrix $M$ from a sampling of its entries. Under a certain incoherence assumption on $M$ and for the case when both the rank and the condition number of $M$ are bounded, it…

Given a convex function $f$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with an integer minimizer, we show how to find an exact minimizer of $f$ using $O(n^2 \log n)$ calls to a separation oracle and $O(n^4 \log n)$ time. The previous best polynomial time algorithm…

Consider the classical Min-Sum Set Cover problem: We are given a universe $\mathcal{U}$ of $n$ elements and a collection $\mathcal{S}$ of $k$ subsets of $\mathcal{U}$. Moreover, a cost function is associated with each set. The goal is to…
