We establish sharp estimates for the convergence rate of the Kranosel'ski\v{\i}-Mann fixed point iteration in general normed spaces, and we use them to show that the asymptotic regularity bound recently proved in [11] (Israel Journal of…
This paper explores the problem of generalized phase retrieval, which involves reconstructing a length-$n$ signal $\bm{x}$ from its $m$ phaseless samples $y_k = \left|\langle \bm{a}_k,\bm{x}\rangle\right|^2$, where $k = 1,2,...,m$, and…

In this paper, the problem of computing the projection, and therefore the minimum distance, from a point onto a Minkowski sum of general convex sets is studied. Our approach is based on the minimum norm duality theorem originally stated by…
We study the problem of reconstructing a perfect matching $M^*$ hidden in a randomly weighted $n\times n$ bipartite graph. The edge set includes every node pair in $M^*$ and each of the $n(n-1)$ node pairs not in $M^*$ independently with…
In this paper, we made an extension to the convergence analysis of the dynamics of two-layered bias-free networks with one $ReLU$ output. We took into consideration two popular regularization terms: the $\ell_1$ and $\ell_2$ norm of the…
We consider the problem of optimizing a multivariate quadratic function where each decision variable is constrained to be a complex $m$'th root of unity. Such problems have applications in signal processing, MIMO detection, and the…

In this paper we generalize to non-uniform grids of quad-tree type the Compact WENO reconstruction of Levy, Puppo and Russo (SIAM J. Sci. Comput., 2001), thus obtaining a truly two-dimensional non-oscillatory third order reconstruction with…
This paper establishes global convergence and provides global bounds of the convergence rate of the Heavy-ball method for convex optimization problems. When the objective function has Lipschitz-continuous gradient, we show that the Cesaro…
We develop new solvability methods for divergence form second order, real and complex, elliptic systems above Lipschitz graphs, with $L_2$ boundary data. The coefficients $A$ may depend on all variables, but are assumed to be close to…

Kernel quadrature can exploit RKHS spectral structure and outperform Monte Carlo on smooth integrands, but optimized quadrature weights are generally signed and may be numerically unstable. We study whether spectral acceleration remains…
The error exponent in lossy source coding characterizes the asymptotic decay rate of error probability with respect to blocklength. The Marton's error exponent provides the theoretically optimal bound on this rate. However, computation…
In the Maximum Weight Independent Set of Rectangles problem (MWISR) we are given a weighted set of $n$ axis-parallel rectangles in the plane. The task is to find a subset of pairwise non-overlapping rectangles with the maximum possible…
We show that spline and wavelet series regression estimators for weakly dependent regressors attain the optimal uniform (i.e. sup-norm) convergence rate $(n/\log n)^{-p/(2p+d)}$ of Stone (1982), where $d$ is the number of regressors and $p$…

Let G be an edge-weighted hypergraph on n vertices, m edges of size \le s, where the edges have real weights in an interval [1,W]. We show that if we can approximate a maximum weight matching in G within factor alpha in time T(n,m,W) then…
