We propose a scalable approximate algorithm for the NP-hard maximum-weight independent set problem. The core component of our algorithm is a dual coordinate descent applied to a smoothed LP relaxation of the problem. This technique is…

The Successive Over-Relaxation (SOR) method is a useful method for solving the sparse system of linear equations which arises from finite-difference discretization of the Poisson equation. Knowing the optimal value of the relaxation…

In this paper, we introduce three QUBO (Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization) relaxations for the sparsest $k$-subgraph (SkS) problem: a quadratic penalty relaxation, a Lagrangian relaxation, and an augmented Lagrangian relaxation.…

This paper develops new semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation techniques for two classes of mixed binary quadratically constrained quadratic programs (MBQCQP) and analyzes their approximation performance. The first class of problem…

In recent years, solvers for finite-element discretizations of linear or linearized saddle-point problems, like the Stokes and Oseen equations, have become well established. There are two main classes of preconditioners for such systems:…

Multilevel techniques are efficient approaches for solving the large linear systems that arise from discretized partial differential equations and other problems. While geometric multigrid requires detailed knowledge about the underlying…

We study binary optimization problems of the form \( \min_{x\in\{-1,1\}^n} f(Ax-b) \) with possibly nonsmooth loss \(f\). Following the lifted rank-one semidefinite programming (SDP) approach\cite{qian2023matrix}, we develop a…

The current bottleneck of globally solving mixed-integer (non-convex) quadratically constrained problem (MIQCP) is still to construct strong but computationally cheap convex relaxations, especially when dense quadratic functions are…

Joint sparsity regularization in multi-task learning has attracted much attention in recent years. The traditional convex formulation employs the group Lasso relaxation to achieve joint sparsity across tasks. Although this approach leads to…

This paper considers solving convex quadratic programs (QPs) in a real-time setting using a regularized and smoothed Fischer-Burmeister method (FBRS). The Fischer-Burmeister function is used to map the optimality conditions of the quadratic…

The dual formulation for linear elasticity, in contrast to the primal formulation, is not affected by locking, as it is based on the stresses as main unknowns. Thus it is quite attractive for nearly incompressible and incompressible…

We investigate three directions to further improve the highly efficient Space-Time Multigrid algorithm with block-Jacobi smoother introduced in [GanNeu16]. First, we derive an analytical expression for the optimal smoothing parameter in the…

Based on current trends in computer architectures, faster compute speeds must come from increased parallelism rather than increased clock speeds, which are currently stagnate. This situation has created the well-known bottleneck for…

In this paper, we propose a sparsity-promoting feedback control design for stochastic linear systems with multiplicative noise. The objective is to identify a sparse control architecture that optimizes the closed-loop performance while…

Signal estimation problems with smoothness and sparsity priors can be naturally modeled as quadratic optimization with $\ell_0$-"norm" constraints. Since such problems are non-convex and hard-to-solve, the standard approach is, instead, to…

We study the minmax optimization problem introduced in [22] for computing policies for batch mode reinforcement learning in a deterministic setting. First, we show that this problem is NP-hard. In the two-stage case, we provide two…

In this paper, we consider a classical form of optimal algebraic multigrid (AMG) interpolation that directly minimizes the two-grid convergence rate and compare it with the so-called ideal form that minimizes a certain weak approximation…

The first part of this paper proposed a family of penalized convex relaxations for solving optimization problems with bilinear matrix inequality (BMI) constraints. In this part, we generalize our approach to a sequential scheme which starts…

We investigate an alternative solution method to the joint signal-beamformer optimization problem considered by Setlur and Rangaswamy[1]. First, we directly demonstrate that the problem, which minimizes the received noise, interference, and…

The first order condition of the constrained minimization problem leads to a saddle point problem. A multigrid method using a multiplicative Schwarz smoother for saddle point problems can thus be interpreted as a successive subspace…
