According to a classical result of Szemer\'{e}di, every dense subset of $1,2,...,N$ contains an arbitrary long arithmetic progression, if $N$ is large enough. Its analogue in higher dimensions due to F\"urstenberg and Katznelson says that…
Locally isoperimetric $N$-partitions are partitions of the space $\mathbb R^d$ into $N$ regions with prescribed, finite or infinite measure, which have minimal perimeter (which is the $(d-1)$-dimensional measure of the interfaces between…
Let $H := \begin{pmatrix} 1 & {\mathbf R} & {\mathbf R} \\ 0 & 1 &{\mathbf R} \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}$ denote the Heisenberg group with the usual Carnot-Carath\'eodory metric $d$. It is known (since the work of Pansu and Semmes) that the…
In the Minimum $d$-Dimensional Arrangement Problem (d-dimAP) we are given a graph with edge weights, and the goal is to find a 1-1 map of the vertices into $\mathbb{Z}^d$ (for some fixed dimension $d\geq 1$) minimizing the total weighted…
Ramsey algebras are algebras that induce Ramsey spaces, which are generalizations of the Ellentuck space and Milliken's space. Previous work suggests a possible local version of Ramsey algebras induced by infinite sequences. Hence, we…
We investigate approximation algorithms for several fundamental optimization problems on geometric packing. The geometric objects considered are very generic, namely $d$-dimensional convex fat objects. Our main contribution is a versatile…
In this article, we define and study a geometry and an order on the set of partitions of an even number of objects. One of the definitions involves the partition algebra, a structure of algebra on the set of such partitions depending on an…
We characterize a class of topological Ramsey spaces such that each element $\mathcal R$ of the class induces a collection $\{\mathcal R_k\}_{k<\omega}$ of projected spaces which have the property that every Baire set is Ramsey. Every…
Many modern data-intensive computational problems either require, or benefit from distance or similarity data that adhere to a metric. The algorithms run faster or have better performance guarantees. Unfortunately, in real applications, the…
We consider the problem of approximating partition functions for Ising models. We make use of recent tools in combinatorial optimization: the Sherali-Adams and Lasserre convex programming hierarchies, in combination with variational methods…
Minimizing a convex function of a measure with a sparsity-inducing penalty is a typical problem arising, e.g., in sparse spikes deconvolution or two-layer neural networks training. We show that this problem can be solved by discretizing the…
A set of points $S$ in Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$ is called \textit{Ramsey} if any finite partition of $\mathbb{R}^{\infty}$ yields a monochromatic copy of $S$. While characterization of Ramsey set remains a major open problem in the…
We give a partial answer to the following question of Dobrinen: For a given topological Ramsey space $\mathcal{R}$, are the notions of selective for $\mathcal{R}$ and Ramsey for $\mathcal{R}$ equivalent? Every topological Ramsey space…
We state the Ramsey property of classes of ordered structures with closures and given local properties. This generalises many old and new results: the Ne\v{s}et\v{r}il-R\"{o}dl Theorem, the author's Ramsey lift of bowtie-free graphs as well…
The Separating Hyperplane theorem is a fundamental result in Convex Geometry with myriad applications. Our first result, Random Separating Hyperplane Theorem (RSH), is a strengthening of this for polytopes. $\rsh$ asserts that if the…
Consider a set $P$ of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$. In the discrete median line segment problem, the objective is to find a line segment bounded by a pair of points in $P$ such that the sum of the Euclidean distances from $P$ to the line…
The computation of (i) $\varepsilon$-kernels, (ii) approximate diameter, and (iii) approximate bichromatic closest pair are fundamental problems in geometric approximation. In this paper, we describe new algorithms that offer significant…
We prove the Ramsey property for classes of ordered structures with closures and given local properties. This generalises earlier results: the Ne\v{s}et\v{r}il-R\"odl Theorem, the Ramsey property of partial orders and metric spaces as well…
We study generalizations of classical metric embedding results to the case of quasimetric spaces; that is, spaces that do not necessarily satisfy symmetry. Quasimetric spaces arise naturally from the shortest-path distances on directed…
We define a distance metric between partitions of a graph using machinery from optimal transport. Our metric is built from a linear assignment problem that matches partition components, with assignment cost proportional to transport…
