Consider the following stochastic differential equation (SDE) $$dX_t = b(t,X_{t-}) \, dt+ dL_t, \quad X_0 = x,$$ driven by a $d$-dimensional L\'evy process $(L_t)_{t \geq 0}$. We establish conditions on the L\'evy process and the drift…
The Procrustes matching (PM) problem is the problem of finding the optimal rigid motion and labeling of two point sets so that they are as close as possible. Both rigid and non-rigid shape matching problems can be formulated as PM problems.…
Consider the following stochastic differential equation for $(X_t)_{t\ge 0}$ on $\mathbb R^d$ and its Euler-Maruyama (EM) approximation $(Y_{t_n})_{n\in \mathbb Z^+}$: \begin{align*} &d X_t=b( X_t) d t+\sigma(X_t) d B_t, \\ &…
Hybrid systems, and Piecewise Deterministic Markov Processes in particular, are widely used to model and numerically study systems exhibiting multiple time scales in biochemical reaction kinetics and related areas. In this paper an almost…
Online learning algorithms require to often recompute least squares regression estimates of parameters. We study improving the computational complexity of such algorithms by using stochastic gradient descent (SGD) type schemes in place of…
This paper studies consensus-based decentralized stochastic optimization for minimizing possibly non-convex expected objectives with convex non-smooth regularizers and nonlinear functional inequality constraints. We reformulate the…
This paper deals with an implicit Newton-like inertial dynamical system governed by a maximally comonotone inclusion problem in a Hilbert space. Under suitable conditions, we establish not only pointwise estimates and integral estimates for…
We consider minimizing a sum of non-smooth objective functions with set constraints in a distributed manner. As to this problem, we propose a distributed algorithm with an exponential convergence rate for the first time. By the exact…
We present new algorithms and fast implementations to find efficient approximations for modelling stochastic processes. For many numerical computations it is essential to develop finite approximations for stochastic processes. While the…
Joint space trajectory optimization under end-effector task constraints leads to a challenging non-convex problem. Thus, a real-time adaptation of prior computed trajectories to perturbation in task constraints often becomes intractable.…
We propose a new simple and explicit numerical scheme for time-homogeneous stochastic differential equations. The scheme is based on sampling increments at each time step from a skew-symmetric probability distribution, with the level of…
We introduce innovative algorithms for computing exact or approximate (minimum-norm) solutions to $Ax=b$ or the {\it normal equation} $A^TAx=A^Tb$, where $A$ is an $m \times n$ real matrix of arbitrary rank. We present more efficient…
This paper addresses learning end-to-end models for time series data that include a temporal alignment step via dynamic time warping (DTW). Existing approaches to differentiable DTW either differentiate through a fixed warping path or apply…
Solving nonlinear SMT problems over real numbers has wide applications in robotics and AI. While significant progress is made in solving quantifier-free SMT formulas in the domain, quantified formulas have been much less investigated. We…
In this paper, we propose an exact general algorithm for solving non-convex optimization problems, where the non-convexity arises due to the presence of an inverse S-shaped function. The proposed method involves iteratively approximating…
Elegant integration schemes of second and fourth order for simulations of rigid body systems are presented which treat translational and rotational motion on the same footing. This is made possible by a recent implementation of the exact…
Quadratic programs with box constraints involve minimizing a possibly nonconvex quadratic function subject to lower and upper bounds on each variable. This is a well-known NP-hard problem that frequently arises in various applications. We…
We present new convolution based smooth approximations to the absolute value function and apply them to construct gradient based algorithms such as the nonlinear conjugate gradient scheme to obtain sparse, regularized solutions of linear…
When applying the finite-differences method to numerically solve the one-dimensional diffusion equation, one must choose discretization steps $\Delta x$, $\Delta t$ in space and time, respectively. By applying large-deviation theory on the…
We present an explicit numerical approximation scheme, denoted by $\{X^n\}$, for the effective simulation of solutions $X$ to a multivariate stochastic differential equation (SDE) with a superlinearly growing $\kappa$-dissipative drift,…
