The goal of the thesis is to leverage fast graph algorithms and modern algorithmic techniques for problems in model checking and synthesis on graphs, MDPs, and game graphs. The results include symbolic algorithms, a well-known class of…
We improve on random sampling techniques for approximately solving problems that involve cuts and flows in graphs. We give a near-linear-time construction that transforms any graph on n vertices into an O(n\log n)-edge graph on the same…
In this paper, we present a novel general framework grounded in the factor graph theory to solve kinematic and dynamic problems for multi-body systems. Although the motion of multi-body systems is considered to be a well-studied problem and…
We give an algorithm to find a minimum cut in an edge-weighted directed graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges in $\tilde O(n\cdot \max(m^{2/3}, n))$ time. This improves on the 30 year old bound of $\tilde O(nm)$ obtained by Hao and Orlin…
We propose a fast and robust scheme for the direct minimization of the Ohta-Kawasaki energy that characterizes the microphase separation of diblock copolymer melts. The scheme employs a globally convergent modified Newton method with line…
In this paper we provide new randomized algorithms with improved runtimes for solving linear programs with two-sided constraints. In the special case of the minimum cost flow problem on $n$-vertex $m$-edge graphs with integer…
Accurate prediction of the macroscopic flow parameters needed to describe flow in porous media relies on a good knowledge of flow field distribution at a much smaller scale---in the pore spaces. The extent of the inertial effect in the pore…
The Partitioning Min-Max Weighted Matching (PMMWM) problem is an NP-hard problem that combines the problem of partitioning a group of vertices of a bipartite graph into disjoint subsets with limited size and the classical Min-Max Weighted…
The success of modern parallel paradigms such as MapReduce, Hadoop, or Spark, has attracted a significant attention to the Massively Parallel Computation (MPC) model over the past few years, especially on graph problems. In this work, we…
Bayesian optimization (BO) methods are useful for optimizing functions that are expensive to evaluate, lack an analytical expression and whose evaluations can be contaminated by noise. These methods rely on a probabilistic model of the…
We analyze a zeroth-order particle algorithm for the global optimization of a non-convex function, focusing on a variant of Consensus-Based Optimization (CBO) with small but fixed noise intensity. Unlike most previous studies restricted to…
Several fundamental problems in science and engineering consist of global optimization tasks involving unknown high-dimensional (black-box) functions that map a set of controllable variables to the outcomes of an expensive experiment.…
In this article we consider Bayesian estimation of static parameters for a class of partially observed McKean-Vlasov diffusion processes with discrete-time observations over a fixed time interval. This problem features several obstacles to…
A graph-theoretic method is introduced for analyzing fermion mass spectra in latticized theory-space models, including chain models arising from dimensional deconstruction. Fermion mass terms are mapped to bipartite graphs, with fields as…
In many applications, the variables that characterize a stochastic system are measured along a second dimension, such as time. This results in multivariate functional data and the interest is in describing the statistical dependences among…
Motivation: Molecular interaction networks summarize complex biological processes as graphs, whose structure is informative of biological function at multiple scales. Simultaneously, omics technologies measure the variation or activity of…
A new type of finite volume WENO schemes for hyperbolic problems was devised in [36] by introducing the order-preserving (OP) criterion. In this continuing work, we extend the OP criterion to the WENO-Z-type schemes. We firstly rewrite the…
This paper focuses on the design of spatial experiments to optimize the amount of information derived from the experimental data and enhance the accuracy of the resulting causal effect estimator. We propose a surrogate function for the mean…
Identifying the connected components of a graph, apart from being a fundamental problem with countless applications, is a key primitive for many other algorithms. In this paper, we consider this problem in parallel settings. Particularly,…
Bayesian Optimization (BO) is a sample-efficient black-box optimizer commonly used in search spaces where hyperparameters are independent. However, in many practical AutoML scenarios, there will be dependencies among hyperparameters,…
