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 analyze the orthogonal greedy algorithm when applied to dictionaries $\mathbb{D}$ whose convex hull has small entropy. We show that if the metric entropy of the convex hull of $\mathbb{D}$ decays at a rate of $O(n^{-\frac{1}{2}-\alpha})$…
We study a foundational model of dynamic matching market with abandonment. This model has been studied by Collina et al (2020) and Aouad and Saritac (2022), and many other papers have considered special cases. We compare the performance of…
This paper is devoted to the theoretical study of the efficiency, namely, stability of some greedy algorithms. In the greedy approximation theory researchers are mostly interested in the following two important properties of an algorithm --…
We prove that the approximation ratio of the greedy algorithm for the metric Traveling Salesman Problem is $\Theta(\log n)$. Moreover, we prove that the same result also holds for graphic, Euclidean, and rectilinear instances of the…
In this paper we proof that there exists a function f(x) belongs to L^1[0,1] such that a greedy algorithm with regard to generalized Walsh system does not converge to f(x) in L^1[0,1] norm, i.e. the generalized Walsh system is not a…
A $k$-submodular function naturally generalizes submodular functions by taking as input $k$ disjoint subsets, rather than a single subset. Unlike standard submodular maximization, which only requires selecting elements for the solution,…
The aim of this paper is to show that almost greedy bases induce tighter embeddings in superreflexive Banach spaces than in general Banach spaces. More specifically, we show that an almost greedy basis in a superreflexive Banach space…
\begin{abstract} Greedy permutations, also known as Gonzalez Orderings or Farthest Point Traversals are a standard way to approximate $k$-center clustering and have many applications in sampling and approximating metric spaces. A greedy…
Local-search methods are widely employed in statistical applications, yet interestingly, their theoretical foundations remain rather underexplored, compared to other classes of estimators such as low-degree polynomials and spectral methods.…
We propose a sorting-based greedy algorithm called SortedGreedy[m] for approximately solving the offline version of the d-choice weighted balls-into-bins problem where the number of choices for each ball is equal to the number of bins. We…

In this short note, we shall prove some observations regarding the connection between indestructible $\omega_1$-guessing models and the $\omega_1$-approximation property of forcing notions.
Greedy algorithms are widely used for problems in machine learning such as feature selection and set function optimization. Unfortunately, for large datasets, the running time of even greedy algorithms can be quite high. This is because for…
In many prediction problems, it is not uncommon that the number of variables used to construct a forecast is of the same order of magnitude as the sample size, if not larger. We then face the problem of constructing a prediction in the…
Optimal experimental design (OED) concerns itself with identifying ideal methods of data collection, e.g.~via sensor placement. The \emph{greedy algorithm}, that is, placing one sensor at a time, in an iteratively optimal manner, stands as…
Recent work on exploration in reinforcement learning (RL) has led to a series of increasingly complex solutions to the problem. This increase in complexity often comes at the expense of generality. Recent empirical studies suggest that,…
A novel and detailed convergence analysis is presented for a greedy algorithm that was previously introduced for operator reconstruction problems in the field of quantum mechanics. This algorithm is based on an offline/online decomposition…

This article develops a new theoretical basis for decomposing signals that are formed by the linear superposition of a finite number of modes. Each mode depends nonlinearly upon several parameters; we seek both these parameters and the…
