On solving a convex-concave bilinear saddle-point problem (SPP), there have been many works studying the complexity results of first-order methods. These results are all about upper complexity bounds, which can determine at most how many…

Randomized subspace embedding methods have had a great impact on the solution of a linear least squares (LS) problem by reducing its row dimension, leading to a randomized or sketched LS (sLS) problem, and use the solution of the sLS…

We study randomized sketching methods for approximately solving least-squares problem with a general convex constraint. The quality of a least-squares approximation can be assessed in different ways: either in terms of the value of the…

We consider robust submodular maximization problems (RSMs), where given a set of $m$ monotone submodular objective functions, the robustness is with respect to the worst-case (scaled) objective function. The model we consider generalizes…
