The isoperimetric problem with a density or weighting seeks to enclose prescribed weighted volume with minimum weighted perimeter. According to Chambers' recent proof of the log-convex density conjecture, for many densities on…

We consider minimization problems with bisubmodular objective functions. We propose valid inequalities, namely the poly-bimatroid inequalities, and provide a complete linear description of the convex hull of the epigraph of a bisubmodular…

Statistical inference can be seen as information processing involving input information and output information that updates belief about some unknown parameters. We consider the Bayesian framework for making inferences about dynamical…

We present a coupling of the Finite Element and the Boundary Element Method in an isogeometric framework to approximate either two-dimensional Laplace interface problems or boundary value problems consisting in two disjoint domains. We…

The $k$-means is one of the most important unsupervised learning techniques in statistics and computer science. The goal is to partition a data set into many clusters, such that observations within clusters are the most homogeneous and…

We describe a general technique for embedding certain amalgamated products into direct products. This technique provides us with a way of constructing a host of finitely presented subgroups of automatic groups which are not even…

Isometries of metric spaces $(X,d)$ preserve all level sets of $d$. We formulate and prove cases of a conjecture asserting if $X$ is a complete Riemannian manifold, then a function $f:X \rightarrow X$ preserving at least one level set…

We devise an L-BFGS method for optimization problems in which the objective is the sum of two functions, where the Hessian of the first function is computationally unavailable while the Hessian of the second function has a computationally…

We establish an isoperimetric type inequality for the level sets of functions in fractional Sobolev spaces. This answers a question posed by the first author in a previous paper. To obtain it, we work out a slight modification of some…

We review recent results on the study of the isoperimetric problem on Riemannian manifolds with Ricci lower bounds. We focus on the validity of sharp second order differential inequalities satisfied by the isoperimetric profile of possibly…

Our purpose is to offer a logical analysis of the system of units and to explore possible paths towards a consistent and unified system with an original perspective. The path taken here builds on the fact that, thanks to optical or…

This paper considers a networked system with a finite number of users and supposes that each user tries to minimize its own private objective function over its own private constraint set. It is assumed that each user's constraint set can be…

We prove that if a quasiconvex subset $X$ of a metric space $Y$ has finite Nagata dimension and is Lipschitz $k$-connected or admits Euclidean isoperimetric inequalities up to dimension $k$ for some $k$ then $X$ is isoperimetrically…

The method of alternating projections involves orthogonally projecting an element of a Hilbert space onto a collection of closed subspaces. It is known that the resulting sequence always converges in norm if the projections are taken…

Quasidiagonal operators on a Hilbert space are a large and important class (containing all self-adjoint operators for instance). They are also perfectly suited for study via the finite section method (a particular Galerkin method). Indeed,…

Consider the projections of a finite set $A\subset R^n$ onto the coordinate hyperplanes. How small can the sum of the sizes of these projections be, given the size of $A$? In a different form, this problem has been studied earlier in the…

We introduce a valuation-theoretic approach to the problem of semistable reduction (i.e., existence of logarithmic extensions on suitable covers) of overconvergent isocrystals with Frobenius structure. The key tool is the quasicompactness…

We consider capillarity functionals which measure the perimeter of sets contained in a Euclidean half-space assigning a constant weight $\lambda \in (-1,1)$ to the portion of the boundary that touches the boundary of the half-space.…

Sub-sampling is a common and often effective method to deal with the computational challenges of large datasets. However, for most statistical models, there is no well-motivated approach for drawing a non-uniform subsample. We show that the…

Partial trace is a very important mathematical operation in quantum mechanics. It is not only helpful in studying the subsystems of a composite quantum system but also used in computing a vast majority of quantum entanglement measures.…
