The aim of sparse approximation is to estimate a sparse signal according to the measurement matrix and an observation vector. It is widely used in data analytics, image processing, and communication, etc. Up to now, a lot of research has…

We address the numerical solution of minimal norm residuals of {\it nonlinear} equations in finite dimensions. We take inspiration from the problem of finding a sparse vector solution by using greedy algorithms based on iterative residual…

We present a fast algorithm for linear least squares problems governed by hierarchically block separable (HBS) matrices. Such matrices are generally dense but data-sparse and can describe many important operators including those derived…

The paper covers a formulation of the inverse quadratic programming problem in terms of unconstrained optimization where it is required to find the unknown parameters (the matrix of the quadratic form and the vector of the quasi-linear part…

In this paper, we study a class of approximation problems, appearing in data approximation and signal processing. The approximations are constructed as combinations of polynomial splines (piecewise polynomials), whose parameters are subject…

This paper argues that the method of least squares has significant unfulfilled potential in modern machine learning, far beyond merely being a tool for fitting linear models. To release its potential, we derive custom gradients that…

This article considers stochastic algorithms for efficiently solving a class of large scale non-linear least squares (NLS) problems which frequently arise in applications. We propose eight variants of a practical randomized algorithm where…

With a high probability the Sarlos randomized algorithm of 2006 outputs a nearly optimal least squares solution of a highly overdeterminedlinear system of equations. We propose its simple deterministic variation which computes such a…

The problem of minimizing a polynomial over a set of polynomial inequalities is an NP-hard non-convex problem. Thanks to powerful results from real algebraic geometry, one can convert this problem into a nested sequence of…

In this paper, we account for approaches of sparse recovery from large underdetermined linear models with perturbation present in both the measurements and the dictionary matrix. Existing methods have high computation and low efficiency.…

In this paper, we study the \emph{sparse integer least squares problem} (SILS), an NP-hard variant of least squares with sparse $\{0, \pm 1\}$-vectors. We propose an $\ell_1$-based SDP relaxation, and a randomized algorithm for SILS, which…

Least squares approximation is a technique to find an approximate solution to a system of linear equations that has no exact solution. In a typical setting, one lets $n$ be the number of constraints and $d$ be the number of variables, with…

We give an efficient algorithm for finding sparse approximate solutions to linear systems of equations with nonnegative coefficients. Unlike most known results for sparse recovery, we do not require {\em any} assumption on the matrix other…

We develop a fast and robust algorithm for solving large scale convex composite optimization models with an emphasis on the $\ell_1$-regularized least squares regression (Lasso) problems. Despite the fact that there exist a large number of…

We compute a \emph{sparse} solution to the classical least-squares problem $\min_x||A x -b||,$ where $A$ is an arbitrary matrix. We describe a novel algorithm for this sparse least-squares problem. The algorithm operates as follows: first,…

Short integer linear programs are programs with a relatively small number of constraints. We show how recent improvements on the running-times of solvers for such programs can be used to obtain fast pseudo-polynomial time algorithms for…

The indefinite least squares (ILS) problem is a generalization of the famous linear least squares problem. It minimizes an indefinite quadratic form with respect to a signature matrix. For this problem, we first propose an impressively…

It is well known that the most challenging question in optimization and discrete geometry is whether there is a strongly polynomial time simplex algorithm for linear programs (LPs). This paper gives a positive answer to this question by…

We survey the numerical stability of some fast algorithms for solving systems of linear equations and linear least squares problems with a low displacement-rank structure. For example, the matrices involved may be Toeplitz or Hankel. We…

In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for analysis-based sparsity reconstruction. It can solve the generalized problem by structured sparsity regularization with an orthogonal basis and total variation regularization. The proposed…
