For a given Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm, we define the distance between configurations that quantifies the difficulty of transitions. This distance enables us to investigate MCMC algorithms in a geometrical way, and we…
Material microstructures are traditionally compared using sets of statistical measures that are incomplete, e.g., two visually distinct microstructures can have identical grain size distributions and phase fractions. While this is not a…
Distance measures play an important role in shape classification and data analysis problems. Topological distances based on Reeb graphs and persistence diagrams have been employed to obtain effective algorithms in shape matching and scalar…
We consider a many-to-one variant of the stable matching problem. More concretely, we consider the variant of the stable matching problem where one side has a matroid constraint. Furthermore, we consider the situation where the preference…
A time series is a sequence of data items; typical examples are videos, stock ticker data, or streams of temperature measurements. Quite some research has been devoted to comparing and indexing simple time series, i.e., time series where…
We study the effectiveness of metrics for Multi-Robot Motion-Planning (MRMP) when using RRT-style sampling-based planners. These metrics play the crucial role of determining the nearest neighbors of configurations and in that they regulate…
The property of preserving the convexity and concavity of the Bernstein polynomial and of the B\'{e}zier curves is used to generate a method of approximating the reliability polynomial of a hammock network. The mutual behaviour of the…
Polynomial reproduction plays a relevant role in deriving error estimates for various approximation schemes. Local reproduction in a quasi-uniform setting is a significant factor in the estimation of error and the assessment of stability…
This paper proposes to establish the distance between partial preference orderings based on two very different approaches. The first approach corresponds to the brute force method based on combinatorics. It generates all possible complete…
The Hausdorff distance is a metric commonly used to compute the set similarity of geometric sets. For sets containing a total of $n$ points, the exact distance can be computed na\"{i}vely in $O(n^2)$ time. In this paper, we show how to…
Persistence modules are representations of products of totally ordered sets in the category of vector spaces. They appear naturally in the representation theory of algebras, but in recent years they have also found applications in other…
The paper introduces a novel algorithm for computing the output admissible set of linear discrete-time systems subject to input saturation. The proposed method takes advantage of the piecewise-affine dynamics to propagate the output…
Initiated by Mulmuley, Vazirani, and Vazirani (1987), many algebraic algorithms have been developed for matching and related problems. In this paper, we review basic facts and discuss possible improvements with the aid of fast computation…
A distance matrix $A \in \mathbb R^{n \times m}$ represents all pairwise distances, $A_{ij}=\mathrm{d}(x_i,y_j)$, between two point sets $x_1,...,x_n$ and $y_1,...,y_m$ in an arbitrary metric space $(\mathcal Z, \mathrm{d})$. Such matrices…
In the stable marriage and roommates problems, a set of agents is given, each of them having a strictly ordered preference list over some or all of the other agents. A matching is a set of disjoint pairs of mutually accepted agents. If any…
Computing the Fr\'{e}chet distance for surfaces is a surprisingly hard problem and the only known algorithm is limited to computing it between flat surfaces. We adapt this algorithm to create one for computing the Fr\'{e}chet distance for a…
The Isometry Theorem of Chazal et al. and Lesnick is a fundamental result in persistence theory, which states that the interleaving distance between two one-parameter persistence modules is equal to the bottleneck distance between their…
We provide an implementation to compute the flat metric in any dimension. The flat metric, also called dual bounded Lipschitz distance, generalizes the well-known Wasserstein distance $W_1$ to the case that the distributions are of unequal…
Prescriptive process monitoring seeks to recommend actions that improve process outcomes by analyzing possible continuations of ongoing cases. A key obstacle is the heavy computational cost of large-scale suffix comparisons, which grows…
In large-scale, data-driven applications, parameters are often only known approximately due to noise and limited data samples. In this paper, we focus on high-dimensional optimization problems with linear constraints under uncertain…
