For a weighted graph $G = (V, E, w)$ and a designated source vertex $s \in V$, a spanning tree that simultaneously approximates a shortest-path tree w.r.t. source $s$ and a minimum spanning tree is called a shallow-light tree (SLT).…

Many applications using large datasets require efficient methods for minimizing a proximable convex function subject to satisfying a set of linear constraints within a specified tolerance. For this task, we present a proximal projection…

In this paper we develop a metric theory of inhomogeneous Diophantine approximation for the case of a fixed matrix. We use transference principle to connect uniform Diophantine properties of a pair $(\Theta, \pmb{\eta})$ of a matrix and a…

From many supercompact cardinals, we show that it is consistent for the tree property to hold at many small successors of singular cardinals, each with a different cofinality. In particular, we construct a model in which the tree property…

The Nyman-Beurling criterion, equivalent to the Riemann hypothesis (RH), is an approximation problem in the space of square integrable functions on $(0,\infty)$, involving dilations of the fractional part function by factors…

In their work on `Coxeter-like complexes', Babson and Reiner introduced a simplicial complex $\Delta_T$ associated to each tree $T$ on $n$ nodes, generalizing chessboard complexes and type A Coxeter complexes. They conjectured that…

We study local approximation properties in hierarchical spline spaces through a twofold approach. First, we design and analyze a robust adaptive refinement algorithm to construct locally graded meshes. Second, we establish rigorous…

We present a scalable approach for range and $k$ nearest neighbor queries under computationally expensive metrics, like the continuous Fr\'echet distance on trajectory data. Based on clustering for metric indexes, we obtain a dynamic tree…

We comment on recent results in the field of information based complexity, which state (in a number of different settings), that approximation of infinitely differentiable functions is intractable and suffers from the curse of…

The aim of this work is to characterize three fundamental normalization proprieties in lambda-calculus trough the Taylor expansion of $ \lambda$-terms. The general proof strategy consists in stating the dependence of ordinary reduction…

The purpose of this article is to prove that the forcing axiom for completely proper forcings is inconsistent with the Continuum Hypothesis. This answers a longstanding problem of Shelah. The corresponding completely proper forcing which…

We deal with the random combinatorial structures called assemblies. By weakening the logarithmic condition which assures regularity of the number of components of a given order, we extend the notion of logarithmic assemblies. Using the…

Let X be a Hilbert bimodule over a C*-algebra A and $O_X= A \rtimes_X \Z$. Using a finite section method we construct a sequence of completely positive contractions factoring through matrix algebras over A which act on $s_{\xi} s_{\eta}^*$…
