Laguerre spectral approximations play an important role in the development of efficient algorithms for problems in unbounded domains. In this paper, we present a comprehensive convergence rate analysis of Laguerre spectral approximations…
Previous analyses of Laguerre's method have provided results on the convergence and properties of this popular method when applied to the polynomials $p_n(z)=z^n-1$, $n\in\mathbb{N}$. While these analyses appear to provide a fairly complete…
The polynomial eigenvalue problem arises in many applications and has received a great deal of attention over the last decade. The use of root-finding methods to solve the polynomial eigenvalue problem dates back to the work of…
A polynomial optimization problem (POP) asks for minimizing a polynomial function given a finite set of polynomial constraints (equations and inequalities). This problem is well-known to be hard in general, as it encodes many hard…
Univariate polynomial root-finding is a classical subject, still important for modern computing. Frequently one seeks just the real roots of a polynomial with real coefficients. They can be approximated at a low computational cost if the…
An efficient algorithm and a Fortran 90 module (LaguerrePol) for computing Laguerre polynomials $L^{(\alpha)}_n(z)$ are presented. The standard three-term recurrence relation satisfied by the polynomials and different types of asymptotic…
We introduce a method for proving Sum-of-Squares (SoS)/ Lasserre hierarchy lower bounds when the initial problem formulation exhibits a high degree of symmetry. Our main technical theorem allows us to reduce the study of the positive…
The DLG root-squaring iterations, due to Dandelin 1826 and rediscovered by Lobachevsky 1834 and Graeffe 1837, have been the main approach to root-finding for a univariate polynomial p(x) in the 19th century and beyond, but not so nowadays…
Laguerre polynomials are orthogonal polynomials defined on positive half line with respect to weight $e^{-x}$. They have wide applications in scientific and engineering computations. However, the exponential growth of Laguerre polynomials…
We explore an algorithm for approximating roots of integers, discuss its motivation and derivation, and analyze its convergence rates with varying parameters and inputs. We also perform comparisons with established methods for approximating…
A recurring theme in the least squares approach to phylogenetics has been the discovery of elegant combinatorial formulas for the least squares estimates of edge lengths. These formulas have proved useful for the development of efficient…
The often elusive Poincar\'e recurrence can be witnessed in a completely separable system. For such systems, the problem of recurrence reduces to the classic mathematical problem of simultaneous Diophantine approximation of multiple…
The successive projection algorithm (SPA) is a workhorse algorithm to learn the $r$ vertices of the convex hull of a set of $(r-1)$-dimensional data points, a.k.a. a latent simplex, which has numerous applications in data science. In this…
We present a general approach to rounding semidefinite programming relaxations obtained by the Sum-of-Squares method (Lasserre hierarchy). Our approach is based on using the connection between these relaxations and the Sum-of-Squares proof…
A new method of root finding is formulated that uses a numerical iterative process involving three points. A given function y = f(x) whose roots are desired is fitted and approximated by a polynomial function of the form P(x)= a(x-b)^N that…
This paper establishes a statistical versus computational trade-off for solving a basic high-dimensional machine learning problem via a basic convex relaxation method. Specifically, we consider the {\em Sparse Principal Component Analysis}…
The Durand-Kerner algorithm is a widely used iterative technique for simultaneously finding all the roots of a polynomial. However, its convergence heavily depends on the choice of initial approximations. This paper introduces two novel…
The goal of this notice is to present a proof of Bachet's conjecture based exclusively on the fundamental theorem of arithmetic. The novelty of this proof consists in its introduction of a partial order on rational integers through the…
We revisit the problem of minimizing a given polynomial $f$ on the hypercube $[-1,1]^n$. Lasserre's hierarchy (also known as the moment- or sum-of-squares hierarchy) provides a sequence of lower bounds $\{f_{(r)}\}_{r \in \mathbb N}$ on the…
The convergence rate is analyzed for the SpaSRA algorithm (Sparse Reconstruction by Separable Approximation) for minimizing a sum $f (\m{x}) + \psi (\m{x})$ where $f$ is smooth and $\psi$ is convex, but possibly nonsmooth. It is shown that…
