Consider the Quadratic Assignment Problem (QAP): given two matrices A and D, minimize {trace AXDX^T: X is a permutation matrix}. New lower bounds were obtained recently (Mittelmann and peng [8]) for the QAP where D is either the Manhattan…

This paper investigates the least-squares projection method for bounded linear operators, which provides a natural regularization scheme by projection for many ill-posed problems. Yet, without additional assumptions, the convergence of this…

Transportation networks frequently employ hub-and-spoke network architectures to route flows between many origin and destination pairs. Hub facilities work as switching points for flows in large networks. In this study, we deal with a…

Jaberi [7] presented approximation algorithms for the problem of computing a minimum size 2-vertex strongly biconnected subgraph in directed graphs. We have implemented approximation algorithms presented in [7] and we have tested the…

Lawson's iteration is a classical and effective method for solving the linear (polynomial) minimax approximation problem in the complex plane. Extension of Lawson's iteration for the rational minimax approximation problem with both…

In minimum power network design problems we are given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ with edge costs $\{c_e:e \in E\}$. The goal is to find an edge set $F\subseteq E$ that satisfies a prescribed property of minimum power $p_c(F)=\sum_{v \in…

In this paper, we study a generalization of the classical minimum cut prob- lem, called Connectivity Preserving Minimum Cut (CPMC) problem, which seeks a minimum cut to separate a pair (or pairs) of source and destination nodes and…

Flexible network design deals with building a network that guarantees some connectivity requirements between its vertices, even when some of its elements (like vertices or edges) fail. In particular, the set of edges (resp. vertices) of a…

A problem that arises in drawings of transportation networks is to minimize the number of crossings between different transportation lines. While this can be done efficiently under specific constraints, not all solutions are visually…

In this paper, we consider the 1.5-dimensional orthogonal terrain guarding problem. In this problem, we assign an x-monotone chain T because each edge is either horizontal or vertical, and determine the minimal number of vertex guards for…

Over the years, computational imaging with accurate nonlinear physical models has garnered considerable interest due to its ability to achieve high-quality reconstructions. However, using such nonlinear models for reconstruction is…

The Steiner Multicycle problem consists of, given a complete graph, a weight function on its vertices, and a collection of pairwise disjoint non-unitary sets called terminal sets, finding a minimum weight collection of vertex-disjoint…

Given an undirected graph and two disjoint vertex pairs $s_1,t_1$ and $s_2,t_2$, the Shortest two disjoint paths problem (S2DP) asks for the minimum total length of two vertex disjoint paths connecting $s_1$ with $t_1$, and $s_2$ with…

The 1-median problem (1MP) on undirected weighted graphs seeks to find a facility location minimizing the total weighted distance to all customer nodes. Although the 1MP can be solved exactly by computing the single-source shortest paths…

We present approximation algorithms for the following NP-hard optimization problems related to bottleneck spanning trees in metric spaces. 1. The disjoint bottleneck spanning tree problem: Given $n$ pairs of points in a metric space, find…

We consider a distributed multi-agent network system where the goal is to minimize a sum of convex objective functions of the agents subject to a common convex constraint set. Each agent maintains an iterate sequence and communicates the…

The recently proposed Broximal Point Method (BPM) [Gruntkowska et al., 2025] offers an idealized optimization framework based on iteratively minimizing the objective function over norm balls centered at the current iterate. It enjoys…

In this paper, a class of Decentralized Approximate Newton (DEAN) methods for addressing convex optimization on a networked system are developed, where nodes in the networked system seek for a consensus that minimizes the sum of their…

We study the following distance realization problem. Given a quasi-metric $D$ on a set $T$ of terminals, does there exist a directed Okamura-Seymour graph that realizes $D$ as the (directed) shortest-path distance metric on $T$? We show…

Matrix Factorization is a popular non-convex optimization problem, for which alternating minimization schemes are mostly used. They usually suffer from the major drawback that the solution is biased towards one of the optimization…
