We analyse the problem of controllability for parameter-dependent linear finite-dimensional systems. The goal is to identify the most distinguished realisations of those parameters so to better describe or approximate the whole range of…
We characterize pairs of orthogonal countable ordinals. Two ordinals $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are orthogonal if there are two linear orders $A$ and $B$ on the same set $V$ with order types $\alpha$ and $\beta$ respectively such that the only…
We propose and analyze batch greedy heuristics for cardinality constrained maximization of non-submodular non-decreasing set functions. We consider the standard greedy paradigm, along with its distributed greedy and stochastic greedy…
In the problem of active sequential hypothesis testing (ASHT), a learner seeks to identify the true hypothesis from among a known set of hypotheses. The learner is given a set of actions and knows the random distribution of the outcome of…
We give criteria for finding the greedy $\beta$-expansion for $1$ for families of Salem numbers that approach a given Pisot number. We show that these expansions are related to the greedy expansion under the Pisot base. This expands on the…
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…
In this paper we present the definition of quasi-bases for modules over a ring that is commutative but not necessarily division and discuss properties that guarantee the existence of quasi-bases. Based on this result we further prove that…
We establish estimates for the Lebesgue parameters of the Chebyshev Weak Thresholding Greedy Algorithm in the case of general bases in Banach spaces. These generalize and slightly improve earlier results in [9], and are complemented with…
We investigate the performance of the standard Greedy algorithm for cardinality constrained maximization of non-submodular nondecreasing set functions. While there are strong theoretical guarantees on the performance of Greedy for…
We establish the existence of a quantum lift of the greedy basis.
It was previously known that the almost greedy (AG) property essentially remains the same when we enlarge greedy sums in the classical definition by a factor $\lambda \geqslant 1$. The present paper shows that if instead, we enlarge greedy…
We introduce a family of dynamical systems that generate negative $\beta$-expansions and study the support of the invariant measure which is absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesgue measure. We give a characterization of the set of…
We study the problem of fairly allocating a set of indivisible goods among agents with additive valuations. The extent of fairness of an allocation is measured by its Nash social welfare, which is the geometric mean of the valuations of the…
For $\beta > 1$ a real algebraic integer ({\it the base}), the finite alphabets $\mathcal{A} \subset \mathbb{Z}$ which realize the identity $\mathbb{Q}(\beta) = {\rm Per}_{\mathcal{A}}(\beta)$, where ${\rm Per}_{\mathcal{A}}(\beta)$ is the…
We prove that, given $2<p<\infty$, the Fourier coefficients of functions in $L_2(\mathbb{T}, \lvert t \rvert^{1-2/p}\, dt)$ belong to $\ell_p$, and that, given $1<p<2$, the Fourier series of sequences in $\ell_p$ belong $L_2(\mathbb{T},…
This work provides performance guarantees for the greedy solution of experimental design problems. In particular, it focuses on A- and E-optimal designs, for which typical guarantees do not apply since the mean-square error and the maximum…
Motivated by, e.g., sensitivity analysis and end-to-end learning, the demand for differentiable optimization algorithms has been significantly increasing. In this paper, we establish a theoretically guaranteed versatile framework that makes…
An increasing sequence $(x_i)_{i=1}^n$ of positive integers is an $n$-term Egyptian underapproximation of $\theta \in (0,1]$ if $\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{1}{x_i} < \theta$. A greedy algorithm constructs an $n$-term underapproximation of $\theta$.…
We present a new approach for obtaining quantum quasi-probability distributions, $P(\alpha,\beta)$, for two arbitrary operators, $\mathbf{a}$ and $\mathbf{b}$, where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are the corresponding c-variables. We show that the…
Dimensionality reduction on quadratic manifolds augments linear approximations with quadratic correction terms. Previous works rely on linear approximations given by projections onto the first few leading principal components of the…
