Squared Wasserstein distance is a frequently used tool to measure discrepancy between probability distributions. This distance is typically computed between empirical measures of size $n$ from two underlying random samples. Unfortunately,…
In this paper, we study the following problem of reconstructing a simple polygon: Given a cyclically ordered vertex sequence of an unknown simple polygon P of n vertices and, for each vertex v of P, the sequence of angles defined by all the…
The article proposes an n-dimensional mathematical model of the visual representation of a linear programming problem. This model makes it possible to use artificial neural networks to solve multidimensional linear optimization problems,…
We demonstrate that the best $k$-sparse approximation of a length-$n$ vector can be recovered within a $(1+\epsilon)$-factor approximation in $O((k/\epsilon) \log n)$ time using a non-adaptive linear sketch with $O((k/\epsilon) \log n)$…
We describe a uniformly fast algorithm for generating points \vec{x} uniformly in a hypercube with the restriction that the difference between each pair of coordinates is bounded. We discuss the quality of the algorithm in the sense of its…
This paper studies preference-shaped expected improvement criteria for Bayesian multiobjective optimization. We consider two indicator families which are often used for similar algorithmic purposes, but which are geometrically different.…
The Light Bulb Problem is one of the most basic problems in data analysis. One is given as input $n$ vectors in $\{-1,1\}^d$, which are all independently and uniformly random, except for a planted pair of vectors with inner product at least…
We provide an algorithm for properly learning mixtures of two single-dimensional Gaussians without any separability assumptions. Given $\tilde{O}(1/\varepsilon^2)$ samples from an unknown mixture, our algorithm outputs a mixture that is…
Minimizing a convex function of a measure with a sparsity-inducing penalty is a typical problem arising, e.g., in sparse spikes deconvolution or two-layer neural networks training. We show that this problem can be solved by discretizing the…
Quasi-2D Coulomb systems are of fundamental importance and have attracted much attention in many areas nowadays. Their reduced symmetry gives rise to interesting collective behaviors, but also brings great challenges for particle-based…
We give exact and approximation algorithms for computing the Gromov hyperbolicity of an n-point discrete metric space. We observe that computing the Gromov hyperbolicity from a fixed base-point reduces to a (max,min) matrix product. Hence,…
We propose a linear time and constant space algorithm for computing Euclidean projections onto sets on which a normalized sparseness measure attains a constant value. These non-convex target sets can be characterized as intersections of a…
In this paper we propose an improved approximation scheme for the Vector Bin Packing problem (VBP), based on the combination of (near-)optimal solution of the Linear Programming (LP) relaxation and a greedy (modified first-fit) heuristic.…
Given a rectangle $R$ with area $A$ and a set of areas $L=\{A_1,...,A_n\}$ with $\sum_{i=1}^n A_i = A$, we consider the problem of partitioning $R$ into $n$ sub-regions $R_1,...,R_n$ with areas $A_1,...,A_n$ in a way that the total…
Approximating Subset Sum is a classic and fundamental problem in computer science and mathematical optimization. The state-of-the-art approximation scheme for Subset Sum computes a $(1-\varepsilon)$-approximation in time…
We propose a family of recursive cutting-plane algorithms to solve feasibility problems with constrained memory, which can also be used for first-order convex optimization. Precisely, in order to find a point within a ball of radius…
This paper is devoted to general nonconvex problems of multiobjective optimization in Hilbert spaces. Based on Mordukhovich's limiting subgradients, we define a new notion of Pareto critical points for such problems, establish necessary…
This paper describes a novel and fast, simple and robust algorithm with O(N) expected complexity which enables to decrease run time needed to find the maximum distance of two points in E2. It can be easily modified for the E3 case in…
This paper studies the problem of enumerating all maximal collinear subsets of size at least three in a given set of $n$ points. An algorithm for this problem, besides solving degeneracy testing and the exact fitting problem, can also help…
The transversal hypergraph problem is the task of enumerating the minimal hitting sets of a hypergraph. It is a long-standing open question whether this can be done in output-polynomial time. For hypergraphs whose solutions have bounded…
