We have employed Particle Swarm Optimization to address a stochastic variant of the Smallest Enclosing Sphere estimation problem. An efficient algorithm has been developed to ascertain the optimal center and radius of a sphere encompassing…

The problem of finding the degeneracy of a graph is a subproblem of the k-core decomposition problem. In this paper, we present a (1 + epsilon)-approximate solution to the degeneracy problem which runs in O(n log n) time, sublinear in the…

This paper studies the problem of enumerating all maximal collinear subsets of size at least three in a given set of $n$ points. An algorithm for this problem, besides solving degeneracy testing and the exact fitting problem, can also help…

We present an amelioration of current known algorithms for optimal spectral partitioning problems. The idea is to use the advantage of a representation using density functions while decreasing the computational time. This is done by…

The large sparse linear systems arising from the finite element or finite difference discretization of elliptic PDEs can be solved directly via, e.g., nested dissection or multifrontal methods. Such techniques reorder the nodes in the grid…

We describe how to implement Simulation of Simplicity (SoS). SoS removes geometric degeneracies in point-in-polygon queries, polyhedron intersection, map overlay, and other 2D and 3D geometric and spatial algorithms by determining the…

We study the convergence properties of an overlapping Schwarz decomposition algorithm for solving nonlinear optimal control problems (OCPs). The algorithm decomposes the time domain into a set of overlapping subdomains, and solves all…

Hybrid optimization algorithms have gained popularity as it has become apparent there cannot be a universal optimization strategy which is globally more beneficial than any other. Despite their popularity, hybridization frameworks require…

Most state of the art deep neural networks are overparameterized and exhibit a high computational cost. A straightforward approach to this problem is to replace convolutional kernels with its low-rank tensor approximations, whereas the…

In this paper, we investigate optimization problems with nonnegative and orthogonal constraints, where any feasible matrix of size $n \times p$ exhibits a sparsity pattern such that each row accommodates at most one nonzero entry. Our…

A basic problem in spectral clustering is the following. If a solution obtained from the spectral relaxation is close to an integral solution, is it possible to find this integral solution even though they might be in completely different…

Constrained non-convex optimization is fundamentally challenging, as global solutions are generally intractable and constraint qualifications may not hold. However, in many applications, including safe policy optimization in control and…

We consider a finite element method for elliptic equation with heterogeneous and possibly high-contrast coefficients based on primal hybrid formulation. A space decomposition as in FETI and BDCC allows a sequential computations of the…

A wide range of optimization problems arising in machine learning can be solved by gradient descent algorithms, and a central question in this area is how to efficiently compress a large-scale dataset so as to reduce the computational…

High-quality saliency maps are essential in several machine learning application areas including explainable AI and weakly supervised object detection and segmentation. Many techniques have been developed to generate better saliency using…

Sparse subspace clustering (SSC) clusters $n$ points that lie near a union of low-dimensional subspaces. The SSC model expresses each point as a linear or affine combination of the other points, using either $\ell_1$ or $\ell_0$…
