The reciprocal function, 1/x, is important for many real-time algorithms. It is used in a large variety of algorithms from areas ranging from iterative estimation to machine learning. Many of these algorithms are iterative in nature and…
In this paper we consider the Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) problem: given an (elementwise) nonnegative matrix $V \in \R_+^{m\times n}$ find, for assigned $k$, nonnegative matrices $W\in\R_+^{m\times k}$ and $H\in\R_+^{k\times n}$…
Purpose of writing this paper is to solve a transcendental function containing a product of a variable and its double exponential by a unique method of approximation. If the value of the said product is given, then its inverse function is…
The main aim of this paper is to develop a new algorithm for computing nonnegative low rank tensor approximation for nonnegative tensors that arise in many multi-dimensional imaging applications. Nonnegativity is one of the important…
The optimization of submodular functions on the integer lattice has received much attention recently, but the objective functions of many applications are non-submodular. We provide two approximation algorithms for maximizing a…
We prove that every nonnegative continuous real-valued function on a given compact metric space is the uniform limit of some increasing sequence of nonnegative simple functions being linear combinations of indicators of open sets; here the…
We call an $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$ regainingly approximable if there exists a computable nondecreasing sequence $(a_n)_n$ of rational numbers converging to $\alpha$ with $\alpha - a_n < 2^{-n}$ for infinitely many $n \in \mathbb{N}$. We…
This paper is concerned with the ubiquitous inverse problem of recovering an unknown function u from finitely many measurements possibly affected by noise. In recent years, inversion methods based on linear approximation spaces were…
The maximum function, on vectors of real numbers, is not differentiable. Consequently, several differentiable approximations of this function are popular substitutes. We survey three smooth functions which approximate the maximum function…
A new type of combinations of Bernstein operators is given in [1]. Here, we introduce another one, which can be used to approximate the functions with singularities. The direct and inverse results of the weighted approximation of this new…
In this note we associate a sequence of non-negative integers to any convergent series of positive real numbers and study this sequence for the series $\sum_{n \geq 1} n^{-k}$ where $k$ is an integer $\geq 2$.
The study of solving the inverse eigenvalue problem for nonnegative matrices has been around for decades. It is clear that an inverse eigenvalue problem is trivial if the desirable matrix is not restricted to a certain structure. Provided…
We consider the problem of directly optimizing a non-linear function of an outcome, where this outcome itself is the sum of many small contributions. The non-linearity of the function means that the problem is not equivalent to the…
Tame functions are a class of nonsmooth, nonconvex functions, which feature in a wide range of applications: functions encountered in the training of deep neural networks with all common activations, value functions of mixed-integer…
We introduce another new type of combinations of Bernstein operators in this paper, which can be used to approximate the functions with inner singularities. The direct and inverse results of the weighted approximation of this new type…
To edit a real photo using Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), we need a GAN inversion algorithm to identify the latent vector that perfectly reproduces it. Unfortunately, whereas existing inversion algorithms can synthesize images…
We introduce and study new refinements of inversion statistics for permutations, such as k-step inversions, (the number of inversions with fixed position differences) and non-inversion sums (the sum of the differences of positions of the…

This paper presents a polynomial-time $1/2$-approximation algorithm for maximizing nonnegative $k$-submodular functions. This improves upon the previous $\max\{1/3, 1/(1+a)\}$-approximation by Ward and \v{Z}ivn\'y~(SODA'14), where…
The problem of maximizing non-negative monotone submodular functions under a certain constraint has been intensively studied in the last decade. In this paper, we address the problem for functions defined over the integer lattice. Suppose…
