We investigate the asymptotic behavior of greedy $s$-Riesz and Green energy sequences $\{x_{n}\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{d} \subset \mathbb{R}^{d+1}$, where each point $x_n$ is defined as the minimizer of the…
The random greedy algorithm for finding a maximal independent set in a graph constructs a maximal independent set by inspecting the graph's vertices in a random order, adding the current vertex to the independent set if it is not adjacent…

We study greedy-type algorithms such that at a greedy step we pick several dictionary elements contrary to a single dictionary element in standard greedy-type algorithms. We call such greedy algorithms {\it super greedy algorithms}. The…
Wattenhofer [WW04] derive a complicated distributed algorithm to compute a weighted matching of an arbitrary weighted graph, that is at most a factor 5 away from the maximum weighted matching of that graph. We show that a variant of the…
The aims of this paper are twofold. First, it discusses the Littlewood conjecture and its variants with respect to uniformly distributed sequences. The second aim is to determine the exact order of the discrepancy of the van der…
This paper proposes a new algorithm for multiple sparse regression in high dimensions, where the task is to estimate the support and values of several (typically related) sparse vectors from a few noisy linear measurements. Our algorithm is…
Consider the Hitting Set problem where, for a given universe $\mathcal{X} = \left\{ 1, ... , n \right\}$ and a collection of subsets $\mathcal{S}_1, ... , \mathcal{S}_m$, one seeks to identify the smallest subset of $\mathcal{X}$ which has…
We study the problem of constructing sequences $(x_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ on $[0,1]$ in such a way that $$ D_N^* = \sup_{0 \leq x \leq 1} \left| \frac{ \left\{1 \leq i \leq N: x_i \leq x \right\}}{N} - x \right|$$ is uniformly small. A result…
We give an algorithm that generates a uniformly random contingency table with specified marginals, i.e. a matrix with non-negative integer values and specified row and column sums. Such algorithms are useful in statistics and combinatorics.…
We consider a wide class of the discrete optimization problems with interval objective function. We give a generalization of the greedy algorithm for the problems. Using the algorithm, we obtain the set of all possible greedy solutions and…
Finding the diameter of a dataset in multidimensional Euclidean space is a well-established problem, with well-known algorithms. However, most of the algorithms found in the literature do not scale well with large values of data dimension,…
We present here random distributions on $(D+1)$-edge-colored, bipartite graphs with a fixed number of vertices $2p$. These graphs are dual to $D$-dimensional orientable colored complexes. We investigate the behavior of quantities related to…
We study the extreme $L_p$ discrepancy of infinite sequences in the $d$-dimensional unit cube, which uses arbitrary sub-intervals of the unit cube as test sets. This is in contrast to the classical star $L_p$ discrepancy, which uses…
Let T d (n) be the set of d-ary rooted trees with n internal nodes. We give a method to construct a sequence (t n , n $\ge$ 0) where, for any n $\ge$ 1, t n has the uniform distribution in T d (n), and t n is constructed from t n--1 by the…
In [25], T. Oikhberg introduced and studied variants of the greedy and weak greedy algorithms for sequences with gaps, with a focus on the $\mathbf n$-$t$-quasi-greedy property that is based on them. Building upon this foundation, our…
Ingrid Carbone introduced the notion of so-called LS-sequences of points, which are obtained by a generalization of Kakutani's interval splitting procedure. Under an appropriate choice of the parameters $L$ and $S$, such sequences have low…
