When storing encoded qubits, if single faults can be corrected and double faults postselected against, logical errors only occur due to at least three faults. At current noise rates, having to restart when two errors are detected prevents…
We consider the following problem about dispersing points. Given a set of points in the plane, the task is to identify whether by moving a small number of points by small distance, we can obtain an arrangement of points such that no pair of…
The weighted-Hamming metric generalizes the Hamming metric by assigning different weights to blocks of coordinates. It is well-suited for applications such as coding over independent parallel channels, each of which has a different level of…
The mean shift (MS) is a non-parametric, density-based, iterative algorithm with prominent usage in clustering and image segmentation. A rigorous proof for the convergence of its mode estimate sequence in full generality remains unknown. In…
Numerical continuation methods track a solution path defined by a homotopy. The systems we consider are defined by polynomials in several variables with complex coefficients. For larger dimensions and degrees, the numerical conditioning…
A balanced partition is a clustering of a graph into a given number of equal-sized parts. For instance, the Bisection problem asks to remove at most k edges in order to partition the vertices into two equal-sized parts. We prove that…
The cover metric is suitable for describing the resilience against correlated errors in arrays, in particular crisscross errors, which makes it interesting for applications such as distributed data storage (DDS). In this work, we consider…
Let G = ((A,B),E) be an instance of the stable marriage problem where every vertex ranks its neighbors in a strict order of preference. A matching M in G is popular if M does not lose a head-to-head election against any matching. Popular…
A popular method in combinatorial optimization is to express polytopes P, which may potentially have exponentially many facets, as solutions of linear programs that use few extra variables to reduce the number of constraints down to a…
We show that there exists a gap between the performance of separable and collective measurements in qubit mixed-state estimation that persists in the large sample limit. We characterize such gap in terms of the corresponding bounds on the…
Distance metric learning algorithms aim to appropriately measure similarities and distances between data points. In the context of clustering, metric learning is typically applied with the assist of side-information provided by experts,…
We show that the generalized minimum distance function is non-increasing as the degree varies for reduced standard graded algebras over a field. This allows us to define its regularity index and its stabilization value. The stabilization…

We improve the method in \cite{Seidl:10} for increasing the finite-lengh performance of polar codes by protecting specific, less reliable symbols with simple outer repetition codes. Decoding of the scheme integrates easily in the known…
With input sizes becoming massive, coresets -- small yet representative summary of the input -- are relevant more than ever. A weighted set $C_w$ that is a subset of the input is an $\varepsilon$-coreset if the cost of any feasible solution…
For a set of points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, the Euclidean $k$-means problems consists of finding $k$ centers such that the sum of distances squared from each data point to its closest center is minimized. Coresets are one the main tools…
This paper deals with the merging problem of segments of a composite B\'ezier curve, with the endpoints continuity constraints. We present a novel method which is based on the idea of using constrained dual Bernstein polynomial basis (P.…
We performed a rigorous theoretical convergence analysis of the discrete dipole approximation (DDA). We prove that errors in any measured quantity are bounded by a sum of a linear and quadratic term in the size of a dipole d, when the…
Standard mixed-integer programming formulations for the stable set problem on $n$-node graphs require $n$ integer variables. We prove that this is almost optimal: We give a family of $n$-node graphs for which every polynomial-size MIP…
A recent result on size functions is extended to higher homology modules: the persistent homology based on a multidimensional measuring function is reduced to a 1-dimensional one. This leads to a stable distance for multidimensional…
