This paper is concerned with finding an optimal algorithm for minimizing a composite convex objective function. The basic setting is that the objective is the sum of two convex functions: the first function is smooth with up to the d-th…

Convex clustering is an attractive clustering algorithm with favorable properties such as efficiency and optimality owing to its convex formulation. It is thought to generalize both k-means clustering and agglomerative clustering. However,…

Given a finite set $A\subset\mathbb{R}^d$, let Cov$_{r,k}$ denote the set of all points within distance $r$ to at least $k$ points of $A$. Allowing $r$ and $k$ to vary, we obtain a 2-parameter family of spaces that grow larger when $r$…

Let $k$ be either a number a field or a function field over $\mathbb{Q}$ with finitely many variables. We present a practical algorithm to compute the geometric Picard lattice of a K3 surface over $k$ of degree $2$, i.e., a double cover of…

Here, we propose a clustering technique for general clustering problems including those that have non-convex clusters. For a given desired number of clusters $K$, we use three stages to find a clustering. The first stage uses a hybrid…

KdV6 equation can be described as the Kupershmidt deformation of the KdV equation (see 2008, Phys. Lett. A 372: 263). In this paper, starting from the bi-Hamiltonian structure of the discrete integrable system, we propose a generalized…
