Using the resolvent operator, we develop an algorithm for computing smoothed approximations of spectral measures associated with self-adjoint operators. The algorithm can achieve arbitrarily high-orders of convergence in terms of a…

Given a graphical model (GM), computing its partition function is the most essential inference task, but it is computationally intractable in general. To address the issue, iterative approximation algorithms exploring certain local…

This paper considers the problem of approximating the "maximal" region of attraction (the set that contains all asymptotically stable sets) of any given set of locally exponentially stable nonlinear Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs)…

The sum-of-squares (SoS) hierarchy is a powerful technique based on semi-definite programming that can be used for both classical and quantum optimization problems. This hierarchy goes under several names; in particular, in quantum…

In this paper we propose a convex Sum-of-Squares optimization problem for finding outer approximations of forward reachable sets for nonlinear uncertain Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE's) with either (or both) L2 or point-wise bounded…

A function of a matrix is polyconvex when it can be expressed as a convex function of the matrix minors. Polyconvexity is a regularity condition ensuring existence of minimizers in nonlinear elasticity and, more broadly, in vectorial…

We consider the problem of computing the nearest matrix polynomial with a non-trivial Smith Normal Form. We show that computing the Smith form of a matrix polynomial is amenable to numeric computation as an optimization problem.…

A novel matrix approximation problem is considered herein: observations based on a few fully sampled columns and quasi-polynomial structural side information are exploited. The framework is motivated by quantum chemistry problems wherein…

Motivated by stability analysis of large scale power systems, we describe how the Lasserre (moment-sums of squares, SOS) hierarchy can be used to generate outer approximations of the region of attraction (ROA) of sparse polynomial…

In this paper, we develop a dynamical system counterpart to the term sparsity sum-of-squares (TSSOS) algorithm proposed for static polynomial optimization. This allows for computational savings and improved scalability while preserving…

A popular numerical method to compute SOS (sum of squares of polynomials) decompositions for polynomials is to transform the problem into semi-definite programming (SDP) problems and then solve them by SDP solvers. In this paper, we focus…

We obtain sequences of inclusion sets for the spectrum, essential spectrum, and pseudospectrum of banded, in general non-normal, matrices of finite or infinite size. Each inclusion set is the union of the pseudospectra of certain…

We revisit the convergence analysis of two approximation hierarchies for polynomial optimization on the unit sphere. The first one is based on the moment-sos approach and gives semidefinite bounds for which Fang and Fawzi (2021) showed an…

Functions on a bounded domain in scientific computing are often approximated using piecewise polynomial approximations on meshes that adapt to the shape of the geometry. We study the problem of function approximation using splines on a…

We prove that a sum of random matrices generated by a $\psi$-mixing Markov chain has similar spectral properties to a Gaussian matrix with the same mean and covariance structure. This nonasymptotic universality principle enables sharp…

We show that the joint spectral radius of a finite collection of nonnegative matrices can be bounded by the eigenvalue of a non-linear operator. This eigenvalue coincides with the ergodic constant of a risk-sensitive control problem, or of…

We design a sublinear-time approximation algorithm for quadratic function minimization problems with a better error bound than the previous algorithm by Hayashi and Yoshida (NIPS'16). Our approximation algorithm can be modified to handle…

We derive, similar to Lau and Riha, a matrix formulation of a general best approximation theorem of Singer for the special case of spectral approximations of a given matrix from a given subspace. Using our matrix formulation we describe the…

Spectral approximation by polynomials on the unit ball is studied in the frame of the Sobolev spaces $W^{s}_p(\ball)$, $1<p<\infty$. The main results give sharp estimates on the order of approximation by polynomials in the Sobolev spaces…

This paper studies the hierarchy of sparse matrix Moment-SOS relaxations for solving sparse polynomial optimization problems with matrix constraints. First, we prove a sufficient and necessary condition for the sparse hierarchy to be tight.…
