This paper introduces the stochastic Fej\'{e}r-monotone hybrid steepest descent method (S-FM-HSDM) to solve affinely constrained and composite convex minimization tasks. The minimization task is not known exactly; noise contaminates the…

Typically, nonlinear Support Vector Machines (SVMs) produce significantly higher classification quality when compared to linear ones but, at the same time, their computational complexity is prohibitive for large-scale datasets: this…

In a multi-agent network, we consider the problem of minimizing an objective function that is expressed as the sum of private convex and smooth functions, and a (possibly) non-differentiable convex regularizer. We propose a novel…

While Large Language Models (LLM) enable non-experts to specify open-world multi-robot tasks, the generated plans often lack kinematic feasibility and are not efficient, especially in long-horizon scenarios. Formal methods like Linear…
