In this paper we consider a general problem set-up for a wide class of convex and robust distributed optimization problems in peer-to-peer networks. In this set-up convex constraint sets are distributed to the network processors who have to…
Cutting plane methods, particularly outer approximation, are a well-established approach for solving nonlinear discrete optimization problems without relaxing the integrality of decision variables. While powerful in theory, their…
The complementarity knapsack problem (CKP) is a knapsack problem with real-valued variables and complementarity conditions between pairs of its variables. We extend the polyhedral studies of De Farias et al. for CKP, by proposing three new…
Kidney exchange programs have been developed to find compatible kidneys for recipients who have incompatible donors. On the other hand, patients who do not have a living donor depend upon deceased donor (DD) donations to get a kidney…
Ground Delay Programs (GDPs) mitigate demand-capacity imbalances by holding flights on the ground when an airport's arrival capacity is reduced, thereby reducing costly airborne holding. A central challenge is that day-to-day…
We study the problem of dynamic matching in heterogeneous networks, where agents are subject to compatibility restrictions and stochastic arrival and departure times. In particular, we consider networks with one type of easy-to-match agents…
A kidney transplant can improve the life expectancy and quality of life of patients with end-stage renal failure. Even more patients could be helped with a transplant if the rate of kidneys that are discarded and not transplanted could be…
Kidney transplantation is the best treatment for end-stage renal failure patients. The predominant method used for kidney quality assessment is the Cox regression-based, kidney donor risk index. A machine learning method may provide…
With the growth of interest in the attack and defense of deep neural networks, researchers are focusing more on the robustness of applying them to devices with limited memory. Thus, unlike adversarial training, which only considers the…
The prevalence and success of Deep Neural Network (DNN) applications in recent years have motivated research on DNN compression, such as pruning and quantization. These techniques accelerate model inference, reduce power consumption, and…
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD), a progressive disease with high morbidity and mortality, has become a significant global public health problem. Most existing models are static and fail to capture temporal trends in disease…
Discrete optimization belongs to the set of $\mathcal{NP}$-hard problems, spanning fields such as mixed-integer programming and combinatorial optimization. A current standard approach to solving convex discrete optimization problems is the…
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents a slowly progressive disorder that can eventually require renal replacement therapy (RRT) including dialysis or renal transplantation. Early identification of patients who will require RRT (as much as…
Quantum repeaters are enabling technologies for long-distance quantum communications. Despite the significant progress in the field, we still not only face implementation challenges but also need theoretical solutions that better meet all…
Kidney transplantation is the most effective renal replacement therapy for end stage renal disease patients. With the severe shortage of kidney supplies and for the clinical effectiveness of transplantation, patient's life expectancy post…
We study a robust extensible bin packing problem with budgeted uncertainty, under a budgeted uncertainty model where item sizes are defined to lie in the intersection of a box with a one-norm ball. We propose a scenario generation algorithm…
