We consider forward-backward greedy algorithms for solving sparse feature selection problems with general convex smooth functions. A state-of-the-art greedy method, the Forward-Backward greedy algorithm (FoBa-obj) requires to solve a large…

We define a family of weak thresholding greedy algorithms for the multivariate Haar basis for $L_1[0,1]^d$ ($d \ge 1$). We prove convergence and uniform boundedness of the weak greedy approximants for all $f \in L_1[0,1]^d$.

We consider a general task called partial Wasserstein covering with the goal of providing information on what patterns are not being taken into account in a dataset (e.g., dataset used during development) compared with another dataset(e.g.,…

We study an online allocation problem with sequentially arriving items and adversarially chosen agent values, with the goal of balancing fairness and efficiency. Our goal is to study the performance of algorithms that achieve strong…

The rate of convergence of the classical Thresholding Greedy Algorithm with respect to bases is studied in this paper. We bound the error of approximation by the product of both norms -- the norm of $f$ and the $A_1$-norm of $f$. We obtain…

There are two main aims of the paper. The first one is to extend the criterion for the precompactness of sets in Banach function spaces to the setting of quasi-Banach function spaces. The second one is to extend the criterion for the…

Kernel methods are versatile tools for function approximation and surrogate modeling. In particular, greedy techniques offer computational efficiency and reliability through inherent sparsity and provable convergence. Inspired by the…

Monotone submodular maximization with a knapsack constraint is NP-hard. Various approximation algorithms have been devised to address this optimization problem. In this paper, we revisit the widely known modified greedy algorithm. First, we…

We provide sufficient conditions for a Banach space Y to be weakly sequentially complete. These conditions are expressed in terms of the existence of directional derivatives for cone convex mappings with values in Y .

We analyse the convergence of the proximal gradient algorithm for convex composite problems in the presence of gradient and proximal computational inaccuracies. We derive new tighter deterministic and probabilistic bounds that we use to…

We study the worst-case adaptive optimization problem with budget constraint that is useful for modeling various practical applications in artificial intelligence and machine learning. We investigate the near-optimality of greedy algorithms…

Bandit learning algorithms typically involve the balance of exploration and exploitation. However, in many practical applications, worst-case scenarios needing systematic exploration are seldom encountered. In this work, we consider a…

The greedy algorithm adapted from Kruskal's algorithm is an efficient and folklore way to produce a $k$-spanner with girth at least $k+2$. The greedy algorithm has shown to be `existentially optimal', while it's not `universally optimal'…

Let $E$ be a uniformly smooth and uniformly convex real Banach space and $E^*$ be its dual space. Suppose $A : E\rightarrow E^*$ is bounded, strongly monotone and satisfies the range condition such that $A^{-1}(0)\neq \emptyset$. Inspired…

In this paper we develop an optimisation based approach to multivariate Chebyshev approximation on a finite grid. We consider two models: multivariate polynomial approximation and multivariate generalised rational approximation. In the…

We investigate the convergence properties of exact and inexact forward-backward algorithms to minimise the sum of two weakly convex functions defined on a Hilbert space, where one has a Lipschitz-continuous gradient. We show that the exact…

In this paper, we study a part of approximation theory that presents the conditions under which a \Ceby\sev set in a Banach space is convex. To do so, we use Gateaux differentiability of the distance function.

Weak submodularity is a natural relaxation of the diminishing return property, which is equivalent to submodularity. Weak submodularity has been used to show that many (monotone) functions that arise in practice can be efficiently maximized…

We introduce the notion of a \textit{weight-almost greedy} basis and show that a basis for a real Banach space is $w$-almost greedy if and only if it is both quasi-greedy and $w$-democratic. We also introduce the notion of…

In dictionary selection, several atoms are selected from finite candidates that successfully approximate given data points in the sparse representation. We propose a novel efficient greedy algorithm for dictionary selection. Not only does…
