In this paper we present a greedy algorithm for solving the problem of the maximum partitioning of graphs with supply and demand (MPGSD). The goal of the method is to solve the MPGSD for large graphs in a reasonable time limit. This is done…
The Kaczmarz method is an iterative algorithm for solving systems of linear equalities and inequalities, that iteratively projects onto these constraints. Recently, Strohmer and Vershynin [J. Fourier Anal. Appl., 15(2):262-278, 2009] gave a…
In a standard NP-complete optimization problem we introduce an interpolating algorithm between the quick decrease along the gradient (greedy dynamics) and a slow decrease close to the level curves (reluctant dynamics). We find that for a…
In this paper we prove the efficacy of a simple greedy algorithm for a finite horizon online resource allocation/matching problem, when the corresponding static planning linear program (SPP) exhibits a non-degeneracy condition called the…
We study a fundamental problem in Bayesian learning, where the goal is to select a set of data sources with minimum cost while achieving a certain learning performance based on the data streams provided by the selected data sources. First,…
Optimal transport (OT) distances are finding evermore applications in machine learning and computer vision, but their wide spread use in larger-scale problems is impeded by their high computational cost. In this work we develop a family of…
In this paper we study a new class of bases, weaker than quasi-greedy bases, which retain their unconditionality properties and can provide the same optimality for the thresholding greedy algorithm. We measure how far these bases are from…
In [25], T. Oikhberg introduced and studied variants of the greedy and weak greedy algorithms for sequences with gaps, with a focus on the $\mathbf n$-$t$-quasi-greedy property that is based on them. Building upon this foundation, our…
We consider the $X$-Greedy Algorithm and the Dual Greedy Algorithm in a finite-dimensional Banach space with a strictly monotone basis as the dictionary. We show that when the dictionary is an initial segment of the Haar basis in $L_p[0,1]$…
The reduced basis method (RBM) empowers repeated and rapid evaluation of parametrized partial differential equations through an offline-online decomposition, a.k.a. a learning-execution process. A key feature of the method is a greedy…
A growing body of work in economics and computation focuses on the trade-off between implementability and simplicity in mechanism design. The goal is to develop a theory that not only allows to design an incentive structure easy to grasp…
We introduce and study the notion of weak semi-greedy systems -which is inspired in the concepts of semi-greedy and Branch semi-greedy systems and weak thresholding sets-, and prove that in the context Markushevich bases in infinite…
Recently, it has been discovered that results on universal sampling discretization of the square norm are useful in sparse sampling recovery with error being measured in the square norm. It was established that a simple greedy type…
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,…
Finding efficient tensor contraction paths is essential for a wide range of problems, including model counting, quantum circuits, graph problems, and language models. There exist several approaches to find efficient paths, such as the…
We investigate two greedy strategies for finding an approximation to the minimum of a convex function $E$ defined on a Hilbert space $H$. We prove convergence rates for these algorithms under suitable conditions on the objective function…
Greedy expansions with prescribed coefficients have been introduced by V. N. Temlyakov in the frame of Banach spaces. The idea is to choose a sequence of fixed (real) coefficients $\{c_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ and a fixed set of elements…
Many dynamic programming algorithms for discrete 0-1 optimizationproblems are "pure" in that their recursion equations only use min/max and addition operations, and do not depend on actual input weights. The well-known greedy algorithm of…
We propose a new greedy algorithm for the maximum cardinality matching problem. We give experimental evidence that this algorithm is likely to find a maximum matching in random graphs with constant expected degree c>0, independent of the…
The approximation of a discrete probability distribution $\mathbf{t}$ by an $M$-type distribution $\mathbf{p}$ is considered. The approximation error is measured by the informational divergence $\mathbb{D}(\mathbf{t}\Vert\mathbf{p})$, which…
