Let $(X,\S)$ be a set system on an $n$-point set $X$. The \emph{discrepancy} of $\S$ is defined as the minimum of the largest deviation from an even split, over all subsets of $S \in \S$ and two-colorings $\chi$ on $X$. We consider the…
In this paper we completely characterize the norm attainment set of a bounded linear operator on a Hilbert space. This partially answers a question raised recently in [\textit{D. Sain, On the norm attainment set of a bounded linear…
Operator convex functions defined on the positive half-line play a prominent role in the theory of quantum information, where they are used to define quantum $f$-divergences. Such functions admit integral representations in terms of…
The Schatten-p quasi-norm $(0<p<1)$ is usually used to replace the standard nuclear norm in order to approximate the rank function more accurately. However, existing Schatten-p quasi-norm minimization algorithms involve singular value…
The spectral $p$-norm and nuclear $p$-norm of matrices and tensors appear in various applications albeit both are NP-hard to compute. The former sets a foundation of $\ell_p$-sphere constrained polynomial optimization problems and the…
We study smoothed analysis of distributed graph algorithms, focusing on the fundamental minimum spanning tree (MST) problem. With the goal of studying the time complexity of distributed MST as a function of the "perturbation" of the input…
We propose a new randomized algorithm for solving L2-regularized least-squares problems based on sketching. We consider two of the most popular random embeddings, namely, Gaussian embeddings and the Subsampled Randomized Hadamard Transform…
Let $A$ be a positive semidefinite matrix, block partitioned as $$ A=\twomat{B}{C}{C^*}{D}, $$ where $B$ and $D$ are square blocks. We prove the following inequalities for the Schatten $q$-norm $||.||_q$, which are sharp when the blocks are…

We study the problem of maximizing a monotone submodular set function subject to linear packing constraints. An instance of this problem consists of a matrix $A \in [0,1]^{m \times n}$, a vector $b \in [1,\infty)^m$, and a monotone…
Sublinear time algorithms for approximating maximum matching size have long been studied. Much of the progress over the last two decades on this problem has been on the algorithmic side. For instance, an algorithm of Behnezhad [FOCS'21]…
We present some properties of orthogonality and relate them with support disjoint and norm inequalities in p Schatten ideals. In addition, we investigate the problem of characterization of norm parallelism for bounded linear operators. We…
A constraint satisfaction problem (CSP), $\textsf{Max-CSP}(\mathcal{F})$, is specified by a finite set of constraints $\mathcal{F} \subseteq \{[q]^k \to \{0,1\}\}$ for positive integers $q$ and $k$. An instance of the problem on $n$…

Linear algebraic operations are ubiquitous in engineering applications, and arise often in a variety of fields including statistical signal processing and machine learning. With contemporary large datasets, to perform linear algebraic…

Andoni, Krauthgamer and Razenshteyn (AKR) proved (STOC 2015) that a finite-dimensional normed space $(X,\|\cdot\|_X)$ admits a $O(1)$ sketching algorithm (namely, with $O(1)$ sketch size and $O(1)$ approximation) if and only if for every…
Let $A_{\alpha}^{p}(\mathbb{B}^n;\mathbb{C}^d)$ be the weighted Bergman space on the unit ball $\mathbb{B}^n$ of $\mathbb{C}^n$ of functions taking values in $\mathbb{C}^d$. For $1<p<\infty$ let $\mathcal{T}_{p,\alpha}$ be the algebra…
Discrepancy theory provides powerful tools for producing higher-quality objects which "beat the union bound" in fundamental settings throughout combinatorics and computer science. However, this quality has often come at the price of more…
