APPROXIMATING k-MEDIAN VIA PSEUDO-APPROXIMATION

Ola Nils Anders Svensson

We present a novel approximation algorithm for k-median that achieves an approximation guarantee of 1 + root 3 + epsilon, improving upon the decade-old ratio of 3 + epsilon. Our improved approximation ratio is achieved by exploiting the power of pseudo-app ...

Shapes from Pixels

Mitra Fatemi

In today's digital world, sampling is at the heart of any signal acquisition device. Imaging devices are ubiquitous examples that capture two-dimensional visual signals and store them as the pixels of discrete images. The main concern is whether and how th ...

Magnetic structure and magnon dynamics of the quasi-two-dimensional antiferromagnet FePS3

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Diane Virginie Marie Lançon

Neutron scattering from single crystals has been used to determine the magnetic structure and magnon dynamics of FePS3, an S = 2 Ising-like quasi-two-dimensional antiferromagnet with a honeycomb lattice. The magnetic structure has been confirmed to have a ...

On the Use of Shape-Constrained Splines for Biokinetic Process Modelling

Dominique Bonvin, Julien Léo Billeter, Sriniketh Srinivasan

Identification of mathematical models is an important task for the design and the optimization of biokinetic processes. Monod or Tessier growth-rate models are often chosen by default, although these models are not able to represent the dynamics of all bac ...

A continuation multilevel Monte Carlo algorithm

Fabio Nobile, Erik Gustaf Bogislaw Von Schwerin

We propose a novel Continuation Multi Level Monte Carlo (CMLMC) algorithm for weak approximation of stochastic models. The CMLMC algorithm solves the given approximation problem for a sequence of decreasing tolerances, ending when the required error tolera ...

Diophantine properties of nilpotent Lie groups

A finitely generated subgroup F of a real Lie group G is said to be Diophantine if there is beta > 0 such that non-trivial elements in the word ball B-Gamma(n) centered at 1 is an element of F never approach the identity of G closer than broken vertical ba ...

MATHICSE Technical Report: Fast recovery and approximation of hidden Cauchy structure

We derive an algorithm of optimal complexity which determines whether a given matrix is a Cauchy matrix, and which exactly recovers the Cauchy points defining a Cauchy matrix from the matrix entries. Moreover, we study how to approximate a given matrix by ...

What's the Frequency, Kenneth?: Sublinear Fourier Sampling Off the Grid

Volkan Cevher, Yen-Huan Li

We design a sublinear Fourier sampling algorithm for a case of sparse off-grid frequency recovery. These are signals with the form ; i.e., exponential polynomials with a noise term. The frequencies satisfy and for some . We design a sublinear time randomiz ...

On the configuration LP for maximum budgeted allocation

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Christos Kalaitzis, Lukas Polacek, Aleksander Madry

We study the maximum budgeted allocation problem, i.e., the problem of selling a set of m indivisible goods to n players, each with a separate budget, such that we maximize the collected revenue. Since the natural assignment LP is known to have an integral ...

On multiscale methods in Petrov-Galerkin formulation

Patrick Henning

In this work we investigate the advantages of multiscale methods in Petrov-Galerkin (PG) formulation in a general framework. The framework is based on a localized orthogonal decomposition of a high dimensional solution space into a low dimensional multisca ...
