The Maximum Cut (Max-Cut) problem could be naturally expressed either in a Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) formulation, or as an Ising model. It has long been known that the Maximum Independent Set (MIS) problem could…
We propose a Binary Robust Least Squares (BRLS) model that encompasses key robust least squares formulations, such as those involving uncertain binary labels and adversarial noise constrained within a hypercube. We show that the geometric…
In this paper, with respect to multichannel synthetic aperture radars (SAR), we first formulate the problems of Doppler ambiguities on the radial velocity (RV) estimation of a ground moving target in range-compressed domain, range-Doppler…
We revisit the maximum range sum (MaxRS) problem: given a set $P$ of $n$ weighted points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and a range $Q$ (typically axis-aligned $d$-box or $d$-ball), the goal is to place $Q$ to maximize the total weight of points in…
We consider the problem of finding a low discrepancy coloring for sparse set systems where each element lies in at most $t$ sets. We give an algorithm that finds a coloring with discrepancy $O((t \log n \log s)^{1/2})$ where $s$ is the…
Divergences or similarity measures between probability distributions have become a very useful tool for studying different aspects of statistical objects such as time series, networks and images. Notably not every divergence provides…
Linear arrangements of graphs are a well-known type of graph labeling and are found in many important computational problems, such as the Minimum Linear Arrangement Problem ($\texttt{minLA}$). A linear arrangement is usually defined as a…

In this paper we introduce a maximal divisorial set in the arc space of a variety. The generalized Nash problem is reduced to a translation problem of the inclusion of two maximal divisorial sets. We study this problem and show a counter…

Analog error correction codes have been proposed for analog in-memory computing on resistive crossbars, which can accelerate vector-matrix multiplication for machine learning. Unlike traditional communication or storage channels, this…
The sum of radii problem ($k$-MSR) asks, given a metric space on $n$ points, to place $k$ balls covering all points so as to minimize the sum of their radii. Despite extensive study from the perspectives of approximation and parameterized…
Indexing highly repetitive texts --- such as genomic databases, software repositories and versioned text collections --- has become an important problem since the turn of the millennium. A relevant compressibility measure for repetitive…
We study the NP-complete Maximum Outerplanar Subgraph problem. The previous best known approximation ratio for this problem is 2/3. We propose a new approximation algorithm which improves the ratio to 7/10.
In this work we study approximation algorithms for the \textit{Bounded Color Matching} problem (a.k.a. Restricted Matching problem) which is defined as follows: given a graph in which each edge $e$ has a color $c_e$ and a profit $p_e \in…
The study of approximate matching in the Massively Parallel Computations (MPC) model has recently seen a burst of breakthroughs. Despite this progress, however, we still have a far more limited understanding of maximal matching which is one…
We consider robust submodular maximization problems (RSMs), where given a set of $m$ monotone submodular objective functions, the robustness is with respect to the worst-case (scaled) objective function. The model we consider generalizes…
We provide new algorithms for constructing spanners of arbitrarily edge- or vertex-colored graphs, that can endure up to $f$ failures of entire color classes. The failure of even a single color may cause a linear number of individual…
