It was shown recently by Su et al. (2016) that Nesterov's accelerated gradient method for minimizing a smooth convex function $f$ can be thought of as the time discretization of a second-order ODE, and that $f(x(t))$ converges to its…
In the static retrieval problem, a data structure must answer retrieval queries mapping a set of $n$ keys in a universe $[U]$ to $v$-bit values. Information-theoretically, retrieval data structures can use as little as $nv$ bits of space.…
We prove the first nontrivial worst-case lower bounds for two closely related problems. First, $\Omega(n^{3/2})$ degree-1 reductions, series-parallel reductions, and $\Delta$Y transformations are required in the worst case to reduce an…

We use the Gelfand-Tsetlin pattern to construct an effective Hamiltonian, completely integrable action of a torus T on an open dense subset of a coadjoint orbit of the unitary group. We then identify a proper Hamiltonian T-manifold centered…
Recall that an excedance of a permutation $\pi$ is any position $i$ such that $\pi_i > i$. Inspired by the work of Hopkins, McConville and Propp (Elec. J. Comb., 2017) on sorting using toppling, we say that a permutation is toppleable if it…
