We introduce the concept of disjunctive sum of squares for certifying nonnegativity of polynomials. Unlike the popular sum of squares approach where nonnegativity is certified by a single algebraic identity, the disjunctive sum of squares…
Matrices arising in scientific applications frequently admit linear low-rank approximations due to smoothness in the physical and/or temporal domain of the problem. In large-scale problems, computing an optimal low-rank approximation can be…
We consider the problem of finding the best nonnegative rank-2 approximation of an arbitrary nonnegative matrix. We first revisit the theory, including an explicit parametrization of all possible nonnegative factorizations of a nonnegative…
We propose a numerical method, based on the shift-and-invert power iteration, that answers whether a symmetric matrix is positive definite ("yes") or not ("no"). Our method uses randomization. But, it returns the correct answer with high…
This paper describes a suite of algorithms for constructing low-rank approximations of an input matrix from a random linear image of the matrix, called a sketch. These methods can preserve structural properties of the input matrix, such as…
We determine, up to lower-order terms in the exponent, the best possible deterministic polynomial-time approximation ratio for the permanent of a Hermitian positive semidefinite matrix. If $A\succeq 0$ has no zero diagonal entry,…
We present a combinatorial characterization of the Bethe entropy function of a factor graph, such a characterization being in contrast to the original, analytical, definition of this function. We achieve this combinatorial characterization…
We study scalar products of Bethe vectors in integrable models solvable by nested algebraic Bethe ansatz and possessing $\mathfrak{gl}(2|1)$ symmetry. Using explicit formulas of the monodromy matrix entries multiple actions onto Bethe…
We study quantum integrable models with $GL(3)$ trigonometric $R$-matrix solvable by the nested algebraic Bethe ansatz. We analyze scalar products of generic Bethe vectors and obtain an explicit representation for them in terms of a sum…
We are faced with convex quadratic programing in many contexts related to control theory, economy and robotics. In this paper, we introduce a new active set algorithm for solving such problems and analyze its possible advantages. The…
We present an algorithm for the minimization of a nonconvex quadratic function subject to linear inequality constraints and a two-sided bound on the 2-norm of its solution. The algorithm minimizes the objective using an active-set method by…
The problem of decomposing a given covariance matrix as the sum of a positive semi-definite matrix of given rank and a positive semi-definite diagonal matrix, is considered. We present a projection-type algorithm to address this problem.…
In this thesis, new generalizations of the Bethe approximation and new understanding of the replica method are proposed. The Bethe approximation is an efficient approximation for graphical models, which gives an asymptotically accurate…
This paper introduces an efficient algorithm for computing the best approximation of a given matrix onto the intersection of linear equalities, inequalities and the doubly nonnegative cone (the cone of all positive semidefinite matrices…
The Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) is currently the state of the art in the description of neutral electron excitations in both solids and large finite systems. It is capable of accurately treating charge-transfer excitations that present…
As we all known, the nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) is a dimension reduction method that has been widely used in image processing, text compressing and signal processing etc. In this paper, an algorithm for nonnegative matrix…
Finite-sum optimization has wide applications in machine learning, covering important problems such as support vector machines, regression, etc. In this paper, we initiate the study of solving finite-sum optimization problems by quantum…
Many problems of theoretical and practical interest involve finding a convex or concave function. For instance, optimization problems such as finding the projection on the convex functions in $H^k(\Omega)$, or some problems in economics. In…
Sudderth, Wainwright, and Willsky have conjectured that the Bethe approximation corresponding to any fixed point of the belief propagation algorithm over an attractive, pairwise binary graphical model provides a lower bound on the true…
A novel approach to Boolean matrix factorization (BMF) is presented. Instead of solving the BMF problem directly, this approach solves a nonnegative optimization problem with the constraint over an auxiliary matrix whose Boolean structure…
