Finding global optima in high-dimensional optimization problems is extremely challenging since the number of function evaluations required to sufficiently explore the search space increases exponentially with its dimensionality.…

Iterative algorithms aimed at solving some problems are discussed. For certain problems, such as finding a common point in the intersection of a finite number of convex sets, there often exist iterative algorithms that impose very little…

This paper offers a matrix-free first-order numerical method to solve large-scale conic optimization problems. Solving systems of linear equations pose the most computationally challenging part in both first-order and second-order numerical…

One of the challenges in optimization of high dimensional problems is finding appropriate solutions in a way that are as close as possible to the global optima. In this regard, one of the most common phenomena that occurs is the curse of…

Autonomous exploration is a complex task where the robot moves through an unknown environment with the goal of mapping it. The desired output of such a process is a sequence of paths that efficiently and safely minimise the uncertainty of…

We propose a new methodology to design first-order methods for unconstrained strongly convex problems. Specifically, instead of tackling the original objective directly, we construct a shifted objective function that has the same minimizer…

We introduce optimal algorithms for the problems of data placement (DP) and page placement (PP) in networks with a constant number of clients each of which has limited storage availability and issues requests for data objects. The objective…

The increase in the rate of data is much higher than the increase in the speed of computers, which results in a heavy emphasis on search algorithms in research literature. Searching an item in ordered list is an efficient operation in data…

With the widespread application of optimal transport (OT), its calculation becomes essential, and various algorithms have emerged. However, the existing methods either have low efficiency or cannot represent discontinuous maps. A novel…

Interval scheduling is a basic problem in the theory of algorithms and a classical task in combinatorial optimization. We develop a set of techniques for partitioning and grouping jobs based on their starting and ending times, that enable…
