This paper introduces an efficient $\mathcal{O}(n)$ compute and memory complexity algorithm for globally optimal path planning on 2D Cartesian grids. Unlike existing marching methods that rely on approximate discretized solutions to the…
Over the past few years, insights from computer science, statistical physics, and information theory have revealed phase transitions in a wide array of high-dimensional statistical problems at two distinct thresholds: One is the…
Given an undirected, weighted graph, with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, and two special vertices $s$ and $t$, the problem is to find the shortest path between them. We give two bounded-error quantum algorithms with improved runtime in the…
The task of finding an entry in an unsorted list of $N$ elements famously takes $O(N)$ queries to an oracle for a classical computer and $O(\sqrt{N})$ queries for a quantum computer using Grover's algorithm. Reformulated as a spatial search…
This paper presents new parallel algorithms for generating Euclidean minimum spanning trees and spatial clustering hierarchies (known as HDBSCAN$^*$). Our approach is based on generating a well-separated pair decomposition followed by using…
We study the multi-level Steiner tree problem: a generalization of the Steiner tree problem in graphs where terminals $T$ require varying priority, level, or quality of service. In this problem, we seek to find a minimum cost tree…
We study the computational complexity of a very basic problem, namely that of finding solutions to a very large set of random linear equations in a finite Galois Field modulo q. Using tools from statistical mechanics we are able to identify…
The enormous amount of data to be represented using large graphs exceeds in some cases the resources of a conventional computer. Edges in particular can take up a considerable amount of memory as compared to the number of nodes. However,…
Given a planar map of $n$ segments in which we wish to efficiently locate points, we present the first randomized incremental construction of the well-known trapezoidal-map search-structure that only requires expected $O(n \log n)$…
The classical random walk isomorphism theorems relate the local times of a continuous-time random walk to the square of a Gaussian free field. A Gaussian free field is a spin system that takes values in Euclidean space, and this article…
Node connectivity plays a central role in temporal network analysis. We provide a comprehensive study of various concepts of walks in temporal graphs, that is, graphs with fixed vertex sets but edge sets changing over time. Taking into…
We analyze sequences generated by interior point methods (IPMs) in convex and nonconvex settings. We prove that moving the primal feasibility at the same rate as the barrier parameter $\mu$ ensures the Lagrange multiplier sequence remains…
Robotic exploration in large-scale environments is computationally demanding due to the high overhead of processing extensive frontiers. This article presents an OctoMap-based frontier exploration algorithm with predictable, asymptotically…
A classical method for risk-sensitive nonlinear control is the iterative linear exponential quadratic Gaussian algorithm. We present its convergence analysis from a first-order optimization viewpoint. We identify the objective that the…
Many problems in robotics involve both continuous and discrete components, and modeling them together for estimation tasks has been a long standing and difficult problem. Hybrid Factor Graphs give us a mathematical framework to model these…
The Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) problems are NP hard; thus, so far, there are no algorithms to solve them efficiently. There are exact methods like the Branch-and-Bound algorithm for smaller problems, and for larger…
We present four novel approximation algorithms for finding triangulation of minimum treewidth. Two of the algorithms improve on the running times of algorithms by Robertson and Seymour, and Becker and Geiger that approximate the optimum by…
The {\sc Directed Maximum Leaf Out-Branching} problem is to find an out-branching (i.e. a rooted oriented spanning tree) in a given digraph with the maximum number of leaves. In this paper, we improve known parameterized algorithms and…
We consider the problem of estimating the parameters of a Gaussian or binary distribution in such a way that the resulting undirected graphical model is sparse. Our approach is to solve a maximum likelihood problem with an added l_1-norm…
We examine the aggregate behavior of one-dimensional random walks in a model known as (one-dimensional) Internal Diffusion Limited Aggregation. In this model, a sequence of $n$ particles perform random walks on the integers, beginning at…
