Computing the Euler genus of a graph is a fundamental problem in graph theory and topology. It has been shown to be NP-hard by [Thomassen '89] and a linear-time fixed-parameter algorithm has been obtained by [Mohar '99]. Despite extensive…

In this paper we study constrained subspace approximation problem. Given a set of $n$ points $\{a_1,\ldots,a_n\}$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, the goal of the {\em subspace approximation} problem is to find a $k$ dimensional subspace that best…

We suggest a new optimization technique for minimizing the sum $\sum_{i=1}^n f_i(x)$ of $n$ non-convex real functions that satisfy a property that we call piecewise log-Lipschitz. This is by forging links between techniques in computational…

Radial basis function neural networks (\emph{RBFNN}) are {well-known} for their capability to approximate any continuous function on a closed bounded set with arbitrary precision given enough hidden neurons. In this paper, we introduce the…

A function approximation method is developed that aims to approximate a function in a small neighborhood of a state that travels within a compact set. The development is based on the theory of universal reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces…

Many popular learning algorithms (E.g. Regression, Fourier-Transform based algorithms, Kernel SVM and Kernel ridge regression) operate by reducing the problem to a convex optimization problem over a vector space of functions. These methods…

Structured Low-Rank Approximation is a problem arising in a wide range of applications in Numerical Analysis and Engineering Sciences. Given an input matrix $M$, the goal is to compute a matrix $M'$ of given rank $r$ in a linear or affine…

Global optimization is a challenging problem, with plenty of algorithms displaying empirical success, but scarce theoretical backing. In this work, we propose a new theoretical framework called Proximal Basin Hopping (PBH), carefully…

Kernelization algorithms in the context of Parameterized Complexity are often based on a combination of reduction rules and combinatorial insights. We will expose in this paper a similar strategy for obtaining polynomial-time approximation…

We study streaming algorithms for the $\ell_p$ subspace approximation problem. Given points $a_1, \ldots, a_n$ as an insertion-only stream and a rank parameter $k$, the $\ell_p$ subspace approximation problem is to find a $k$-dimensional…

We give polynomial-time approximation schemes for monotone maximization problems expressible in terms of distances (up to a fixed upper bound) and efficiently solvable in graphs of bounded treewidth. These schemes apply in all fractionally…

In this work we provide a new technique to design fast approximation algorithms for graph problems where the points of the graph lie in a metric space. Specifically, we present a sampling approach for such metric graphs that, using a…

We study the problem of computing Chamfer distance in the fully dynamic setting, where two set of points $A, B \subset \mathbb{R}^{d}$, each of size up to $n$, dynamically evolve through point insertions or deletions and the goal is to…

In this paper, we study a newly developed shearlet system on bounded domains which yields frames for $H^s(\Omega)$ for some $s\in \mathbb{N}$, $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2$. We will derive approximation rates with respect to $H^s(\Omega)$…

We study the problem of extracting a small subset of representative items from a large data stream. In many data mining and machine learning applications such as social network analysis and recommender systems, this problem can be…

Let $p$ be an unknown and arbitrary probability distribution over $[0,1)$. We consider the problem of {\em density estimation}, in which a learning algorithm is given i.i.d. draws from $p$ and must (with high probability) output a…

A set of piecewise linear functions, called polylines, $P_1,\ldots,P_L$ each with at most $n$ vertices can be simplified into a polyline $M$ with $k$ vertices, such that the Fr\'echet distances $\epsilon_1,\ldots,\epsilon_L$ to each of…

We study the design of efficient approximation algorithms for the $\ell$-center clustering and minimum-diameter $\ell$-clustering problems in high dimensional Euclidean and Hamming spaces. Our main tool is randomized dimension reduction.…

We study first-order optimization algorithms under the constraint that the descent direction is quantized using a pre-specified budget of $R$-bits per dimension, where $R \in (0 ,\infty)$. We propose computationally efficient optimization…
