Let $K$ be a finite simplicial, cubical, delta or CW complex. The persistence map $\mathrm{PH}$ takes a filter $f:K \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ as input and returns the barcodes $\mathrm{PH}(f)$ of the associated sublevel set persistent…

This article presents an error analysis of the symmetric linear/bilinear partially penalized immersed finite element (PPIFE) methods for interface problems of Helmholtz equations. Under the assumption that the exact solution possesses a…

Cylindrical algebraic decomposition (CAD) is an important tool for working with polynomial systems, particularly quantifier elimination. However, it has complexity doubly exponential in the number of variables. The base algorithm can be…

We study here several variants of the covariates fine balance problem where we generalize some of these problems and introduce a number of others. We present here a comprehensive complexity study of the covariates problems providing…

We obtain the spline recovery method on a $d$-dimensional simplex $T$ that uses as information values and gradients of a function $f$ at the vertices of $T$ and is optimal for recovery of $f({\bf w})$ at every point ${\bf w}$ of an…

The control of large buildings encounters challenges in computational efficiency due to their size and nonlinear components. To address these issues, this paper proposes a Piecewise Affine (PWA)-based distributed scheme for Model Predictive…

It has recently been shown that the problem of testing global convexity of polynomials of degree four is {strongly} NP-hard, answering an open question of N.Z. Shor. This result is minimal in the degree of the polynomial when global…

We present a complexity reduction algorithm for a family of parameter-dependent linear systems when the system parameters belong to a compact semi-algebraic set. This algorithm potentially describes the underlying dynamical system with…

Many probabilistic inference tasks involve summations over exponentially large sets. Recently, it has been shown that these problems can be reduced to solving a polynomial number of MAP inference queries for a model augmented with randomly…

Error bounds have been studied for more than seventy years, beginning with the seminal result of Hoffman (1952) [{\it J. Res. Natl. Bur. Standards}, 49 (1952), 263--265], which establishes an upper bound for the distance from an arbitrary…

One of the major problems in modeling natural signals is that signals with very similar structure may locally have completely different measurements, e.g., images taken under different illumination conditions, or the speech signal captured…

We propose an approach to trajectory optimization for piecewise polynomial systems based on the recently proposed graphs of convex sets framework. We instantiate the framework with a convex relaxation of optimal control based on occupation…

Ising machines can solve combinatorial optimization problems by representing them as energy minimization problems. A common implementation is the probabilistic Ising machine (PIM), which uses probabilistic (p-) bits to represent coupled…

Dimensionality reduction is a classical technique widely used for data analysis. One foundational instantiation is Principal Component Analysis (PCA), which minimizes the average reconstruction error. In this paper, we introduce the…

The main purpose of this paper is to study the NP-complete subset-sum problem, not in the usual context of time-complexity-based classification of the algorithms (exponential/polynomial), but through a new kind of algorithmic classification…

Motivated by the task of clustering either $d$ variables or $d$ points into $K$ groups, we investigate efficient algorithms to solve the Peng-Wei (P-W) $K$-means semi-definite programming (SDP) relaxation. The P-W SDP has been shown in the…

We present a polynomial-time algorithm that discovers all maximal patterns in a point set, $D\subset\mathbb{R}^k$, that are related by transformations in a user-specified class, $F$, of bijections over $\mathbb{R}^k$. We also present a…

Motivated by conforming finite element methods for elliptic problems of second order, we analyze the approximation of the gradient of a target function by continuous piecewise polynomial functions over a simplicial mesh. The main result is…

We analyze affine reachability problems in dimensions 1 and 2. We show that the reachability problem for 1-register machines over the integers with affine updates is PSPACE-hard, hence PSPACE-complete, strengthening a result by Finkel et…

In a previous paper it was shown that a machine learning regression problem can be solved within the framework of random function theory, with the optimal kernel analytically derived from symmetry and indifference principles and coinciding…
