We show polynomial-time quantum algorithms for the following problems: (*) Short integer solution (SIS) problem under the infinity norm, where the public matrix is very wide, the modulus is a polynomially large prime, and the bound of…
Subset Sum is a classical optimization problem taught to undergraduates as an example of an NP-hard problem, which is amenable to dynamic programming, yielding polynomial running time if the input numbers are relatively small. Formally,…
The quest for a polynomial time algorithm for solving parity games gained momentum in 2017 when two different quasipolynomial time algorithms were constructed. In this paper, we further analyse the second algorithm due to Jurdzi\'nski and…
In this paper, we consider the generalized min-sum set cover problem, introduced by Azar, Gamzu, and Yin. Bansal, Gupta, and Krishnaswamy give a 485-approximation algorithm for the problem. We are able to alter their algorithm and analysis…
We reexamine the classical subset sum problem: given a set $X$ of $n$ positive integers and a number $t$, decide whether there exists a subset of $X$ that sums to $t$; or more generally, compute the set $\mbox{out}$ of all numbers…
Polynomial optimization problems represent a wide class of optimization problems, with a large number of real-world applications. Current approaches for polynomial optimization, such as the sum of squares (SOS) method, rely on large-scale…
In the average-case $k$-SUM problem, given $r$ integers chosen uniformly at random from $\{0,\dots,M-1\}$, the objective is to find a ``solution'' set of $k$ numbers that sum to $0$ modulo $M$. In the dense regime of $M \leq r^k$, where…
Given a set (or multiset) S of n numbers and a target number t, the subset sum problem is to decide if there is a subset of S that sums up to t. There are several methods for solving this problem, including exhaustive search,…

Lloyd's algorithm is an iterative method that solves the quantization problem, i.e. the approximation of a target probability measure by a discrete one, and is particularly used in digital applications. This algorithm can be interpreted as…
Reducing the conditions under which a given set satisfies the stipulations of the subset sum proposition to a set of linear relationships, the question of whether a set satisfies subset sum may be answered in a polynomial number of steps by…

This paper presents a deterministic, strongly polynomial time algorithm for computing the matrix rank for a class of symbolic matrices (whose entries are polynomials over a field). This class was introduced, in a different language, by…
The generalized smooth condition, $(L_{0},L_{1})$-smoothness, has triggered people's interest since it is more realistic in many optimization problems shown by both empirical and theoretical evidence. Two recent works established the…

Variable selection is an old and pervasive problem in regression analysis. One solution is to impose a lasso penalty to shrink parameter estimates toward zero and perform continuous model selection. The lasso-penalized mixture of linear…
