Orthogonal Fractional Factorial Designs and in particular Orthogonal Arrays are frequently used in many fields of application, including medicine, engineering and agriculture. In this paper we present a methodology and an algorithm to find…
We develop and apply combinatorial algorithms for investigation of the feasible distance distributions of binary orthogonal arrays with respect to a point of the ambient binary Hamming space utilizing constraints imposed from the relations…
An orthogonal drawing is an embedding of a plane graph into a grid. In a seminal work of Tamassia (SIAM Journal on Computing 1987), a simple combinatorial characterization of angle assignments that can be realized as bend-free orthogonal…
We introduce a framework, which we denote as the augmented estimate sequence, for deriving fast algorithms with provable convergence guarantees. We use this framework to construct a new first-order scheme, the Accelerated Composite Gradient…
We show that almost commuting real orthogonal matrices are uniformly close to exactly commuting real orthogonal matrices. We prove the same for symplectic unitary matrices. This is in contrast to the general complex case, where not all…
Piecewise linearization is a key technique for solving nonlinear problems in transportation network design and other optimization fields, in which generating breakpoints is a fundamental task. This paper proposes an optimal breakpoint…
The task of decoupling, i.e., removing unwanted interactions in a system Hamiltonian and/or couplings with an environment (decoherence), plays an important role in controlling quantum systems. There are many efficient decoupling schemes…
Oblivious routing is an attractive paradigm for large distributed systems in which centralized control and frequent reconfigurations are infeasible or undesired (e.g., costly). Over the last almost 20 years, much progress has been made in…
The extremal characteristics of random structures, including trees, graphs, and networks, are discussed. A statistical physics approach is employed in which extremal properties are obtained through suitably defined rate equations. A variety…
We establish a near-optimality guarantee for the full orthogonalization method (FOM), showing that the overall convergence of FOM is nearly as good as GMRES. In particular, we prove that at every iteration $k$, there exists an iteration…
Imposing additional constraints on low-rank optimization has garnered growing interest. However, the geometry of coupled constraints hampers the well-developed low-rank structure and makes the problem intricate. To this end, we propose a…
Jump systems are sets of integer vectors satisfying a simple axiom, generalizing matroids, also delta-matroids, and well-kown combinatorial examples such as degree sequences of subgraphs of a graph. It is useful to know if a set of vectors…
The paper addresses the problem of defining families of ordered sequences $\{x_i\}_{i\in N}$ of elements of a compact subset $X$ of $R^d$ whose prefixes $X_n=\{x_i\}_{i=1}^{n}$, for all orders $n$, have good space-filling properties as…
We enumerate all circulant good matrices with odd orders divisible by 3 up to order 70. As a consequence of this we find a previously overlooked set of good matrices of order 27 and a new set of good matrices of order 57. We also find that…
The chosen tool of this thesis is an extremal type approach. The lesson drawn by the theorems proved in the thesis is that surprisingly small compromise is necessary on the efficacy of the solutions to make the approach work. The problems…
Compact representations of objects is a common concept in computer science. Automated planning can be viewed as a case of this concept: a planning instance is a compact implicit representation of a graph and the problem is to find a path (a…
Column-sparse packing problems arise in several contexts in both deterministic and stochastic discrete optimization. We present two unifying ideas, (non-uniform) attenuation and multiple-chance algorithms, to obtain improved approximation…
Random features have been introduced to scale up kernel methods via randomization techniques. In particular, random Fourier features and orthogonal random features were used to approximate the popular Gaussian kernel. Random Fourier…
Given a flat meromorphic connection on an excellent scheme over a field of characteristic zero, we prove existence of good formal structures after blowing up; this extends a theorem of Mochizuki for algebraic varieties. The argument…
Octonion algebras are certain algebras with a multiplicative quadratic form. In their 2019 article, Alsaody and Gille show that, for octonion algebras over unital commutative rings, there is an equivalence between isotopes and isometric…
