We continue the study of Lebesgue-type parameters for various greedy algorithms in quasi-Banach spaces. First, we introduce a parameter that can be used with the quasi-greedy parameter to obtain the exact growth of the Lebesgue parameter…
Tsirelson's space $\mathcal{T}$ made its appearance in Banach space theory in 1974 soon to become one of the most significant counterexamples in the theory. Its structure broke the ideal pattern that analysts had conceived for a generic…
We prove some results on the rate of convergence of greedy algorithms, which provide expansions. We consider both the case of Hilbert spaces and the more general case of Banach spaces. The new ingredient of the paper is that we bound the…
It was previously known that the almost greedy (AG) property essentially remains the same when we enlarge greedy sums in the classical definition by a factor $\lambda \geqslant 1$. The present paper shows that if instead, we enlarge greedy…
In nonlinear greedy approximation theory, bidemocratic bases have traditionally played the role of dualizing democratic, greedy, quasi-greedy, or almost greedy bases. In this article we shift the viewpoint and study them for their own sake,…
We investigate various aspects of the "weighted" greedy algorithm with respect to a Schauder basis. For a weight w, we describe w-greedy, w-almost-greedy and w-partially-greedy bases, and show some properties of w-semi-greedy bases. To…
We establish estimates for the Lebesgue parameters of the Chebyshev Weak Thresholding Greedy Algorithm in the case of general bases in Banach spaces. These generalize and slightly improve earlier results in [9], and are complemented with…
We consider classes of objective functions of cardinality constrained maximization problems for which the greedy algorithm guarantees a constant approximation. We propose the new class of $\gamma$-$\alpha$-augmentable functions and prove…
In this paper we propose a unified way of analyzing a certain kind of greedy-type algorithms in Banach spaces. We define a class of the Weak Biorthogonal Greedy Algorithms that contains a wide range of greedy algorithms. In particular, we…
The list of known Banach spaces whose linear geometry determines the (nonlinear) democracy functions of their quasi-greedy bases to the extent that they end up being democratic, reduces to $c_0$, $\ell_2$, and all separable…
We analyse the problem of controllability for parameter-dependent linear finite-dimensional systems. The goal is to identify the most distinguished realisations of those parameters so to better describe or approximate the whole range of…
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…
An interesting result due to Dilworth et al. was that if we enlarge greedy sums by a constant factor $\lambda > 1$ in the condition defining the greedy property, then we obtain an equivalence of the almost greedy property, a strictly weaker…
We show that, for quasi-greedy bases in Hilbert spaces, the associated conditionality constants grow at most as $O(\log N)^{1-\epsilon}$, for some $\epsilon>0$, answering a question by Temlyakov. We show the optimality of this bound with an…
We consider the problem of approximating a given element $f$ from a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ by means of greedy algorithms and the application of such procedures to the regression problem in statistical learning theory. We improve on the…
We consider learning a convex combination of basis models, and present some new theoretical and empirical results that demonstrate the effectiveness of a greedy approach. Theoretically, we first consider whether we can use linear, instead…
Garling sequence spaces admit a renorming with respect to which their standard unit vector basis is 1-greedy. We also discuss some additional properties of these Banach spaces related to uniform convexity and superreflexivity. In…
We continue the study undertaken in \cite{GHN} of left democracy function $h_l(N)=\inf_{#\Lambda=N}\left\|\sum_{n\in \Lambda_N} x_n\right\| $ of an unconditional basis in a Banach space $X$. We provide an example of a basis with $h_l$…
We study the problem of fairly allocating a set of indivisible goods among agents with additive valuations. The extent of fairness of an allocation is measured by its Nash social welfare, which is the geometric mean of the valuations of the…
We use new methods, specific of non-locally convex quasi-Banach spaces, to investigate when the quasi-greedy bases of a $p$-Banach space for $0<p<1$ are democratic. The novel techniques we obtain permit to show in particular that all…
