We provide a simple method and relevant theoretical analysis for efficiently estimating higher-order lp distances. While the analysis mainly focuses on l4, our methodology extends naturally to p = 6,8,10..., (i.e., when p is even).…

Discrete Wasserstein barycenters correspond to optimal solutions of transportation problems for a set of probability measures with finite support. Discrete barycenters are measures with finite support themselves and exhibit two favorable…
In this study, we focus on computing the projection onto the $\ell_p$ quasi-norm ball, which is challenging due to the non-convex and non-Lipschitz nature inherent in the $\ell_p$ quasi-norm with $0<p<1$. We propose a novel localized…
Minimum-weight triangulation (MWT) is NP-hard. It has a polynomial-time constant-factor approximation algorithm, and a variety of effective polynomial- time heuristics that, for many instances, can find the exact MWT. Linear programs (LPs)…
Motivated by economic dispatch and linearly-constrained resource allocation problems, this paper proposes a novel Distributed Approx-Newton algorithm that approximates the standard Newton optimization method. A main property of this…
Let G be an edge-weighted hypergraph on n vertices, m edges of size \le s, where the edges have real weights in an interval [1,W]. We show that if we can approximate a maximum weight matching in G within factor alpha in time T(n,m,W) then…

We study a natural generalization of the maximum weight many-to-one matching problem. We are given an undirected bipartite graph $G= (A \cup P, E)$ with weights on the edges in $E$, and with lower and upper quotas on the vertices in $P$. We…
We describe a method for computing the highest degree coefficients of a weighted Ehrhart quasi-polynomial for a rational simple polytope.
We give an algorithm to compute weighted Ehrhart functions of lattice polytopes for polynomial weights using Lagrange interpolation. We show how to compute generating functions of polynomials using those of unit cubes and Eulerian numbers,…
We develop new solvability methods for divergence form second order, real and complex, elliptic systems above Lipschitz graphs, with $L_2$ boundary data. The coefficients $A$ may depend on all variables, but are assumed to be close to…
We exploit the idea to use the maximal-entropy method, successfully tested in information theory and statistical thermodynamics, to determine approximating function's coefficients and squared errors' weights simultaneously as output of one…
We study the problem of multivariate $L_2$-approximation of functions in a weighted Korobov space using a median lattice-based algorithm recently proposed by the authors. In the original work, the algorithm requires knowledge of the…
We study the worst-case approximation of multivariate periodic functions from the weighted Korobov space $H_{d,\alpha,\gamma}$ with smoothness $\alpha>1/2$ in the Lebesgue norm $L_p([0,1]^d)$ for $1\le p\le\infty$. We analyze a \emph{median…
This paper is our third step towards developing a theory of testing monomials in multivariate polynomials and concentrates on two problems: (1) How to compute the coefficients of multilinear monomials; and (2) how to find a maximum…
