We study a linear quadratic regulation problem with a constraint where the control input can be nonzero only at a limited number of times. Given that this constraint leads to a combinational optimization problem, we adopt a greedy method to…

The approximation of a discrete probability distribution $\mathbf{t}$ by an $M$-type distribution $\mathbf{p}$ is considered. The approximation error is measured by the informational divergence $\mathbb{D}(\mathbf{t}\Vert\mathbf{p})$, which…

Greedy algorithms are widely used for problems in machine learning such as feature selection and set function optimization. Unfortunately, for large datasets, the running time of even greedy algorithms can be quite high. This is because for…

The famous greedy randomized Kaczmarz (GRK) method uses the greedy selection rule on maximum distance to determine a subset of the indices of working rows. In this paper, with the greedy selection rule on maximum residual, we propose the…

We develop two simple and efficient approximation algorithms for the continuous $k$-medians problems, where we seek to find the optimal location of $k$ facilities among a continuum of client points in a convex polygon $C$ with $n$ vertices…

We consider a wide class of the discrete optimization problems with interval objective function. We give a generalization of the greedy algorithm for the problems. Using the algorithm, we obtain the set of all possible greedy solutions and…

We consider interactive learning and covering problems, in a setting where actions may incur different costs, depending on the response to the action. We propose a natural greedy algorithm for response-dependent costs. We bound the…

We suggest a new greedy strategy for convex optimization in Banach spaces and prove its convergent rates under a suitable behavior of the modulus of uniform smoothness of the objective function.

In this article we prove that the minimum-degree greedy algorithm, with adversarial tie-breaking, is a $(2/3)$-approximation for the Maximum Independent Set problem on interval graphs. We show that this is tight, even on unit interval…

Linear reversible circuits represent a subclass of reversible circuits with many applications in quantum computing. These circuits can be efficiently simulated by classical computers and their size is polynomially bounded by the number of…

Distributed optimization is pivotal for large-scale signal processing and machine learning, yet communication overhead remains a major bottleneck. Low-rank gradient compression, in which the transmitted gradients are approximated by…

We establish the pointwise convergence of the iterative Lloyd algorithm, also known as $k$-means algorithm, when the quadratic quantization error of the starting grid (with size $N\ge 2$) is lower than the minimal quantization error with…

Optimal experimental design (OED) concerns itself with identifying ideal methods of data collection, e.g.~via sensor placement. The \emph{greedy algorithm}, that is, placing one sensor at a time, in an iteratively optimal manner, stands as…

Considering the set cover problem, by modifying the approach that gives a logarithmic approximation guarantee for the greedy algorithm, we obtain an estimation of the greedy algorithm's accuracy for a particular input. We compare the…

We study the problem of selecting a subset of k random variables from a large set, in order to obtain the best linear prediction of another variable of interest. This problem can be viewed in the context of both feature selection and sparse…

Greedy-GQ is a value-based reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm for optimal control. Recently, the finite-time analysis of Greedy-GQ has been developed under linear function approximation and Markovian sampling, and the algorithm is shown…

Greedy layer-wise or module-wise training of neural networks is compelling in constrained and on-device settings where memory is limited, as it circumvents a number of problems of end-to-end back-propagation. However, it suffers from a…

The K-Means clustering using LLoyd's algorithm is an iterative approach to partition the given dataset into K different clusters. The algorithm assigns each point to the cluster based on the following objective function \[\ \min…

The integration of intermittent and stochastic renewable energy resources requires increased flexibility in the operation of the electric grid. Storage, broadly speaking, provides the flexibility of shifting energy over time; network, on…

We consider a robust variant of the classical $k$-median problem, introduced by Anthony et al. \cite{AnthonyGGN10}. In the \emph{Robust $k$-Median problem}, we are given an $n$-vertex metric space $(V,d)$ and $m$ client sets $\set{S_i…
