The effects of model complexity and size on metabolic flux distribution and control: case study in Escherichia coli

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Georgios Fengos, Tuure Eelis Hameri

Background Significant efforts have been made in building large-scale kinetic models of cellular metabolism in the past two decades. However, most kinetic models published to date, remain focused around central carbon pathways or are built around ad hoc re ...

Local approximation of the Maximum Cut in regular graphs

Etienne Michel François Bamas

This paper is devoted to the distributed complexity of finding an approximation of the maximum cut (MAXCUT) in graphs. A classical algorithm consists in letting each vertex choose its side of the cut uniformly at random. This does not require any communica ...

New Graph Algorithms via Polyhedral Techniques

Jakub Tarnawski

In this thesis we give new algorithms for two fundamental graph problems. We develop novel ways of using linear programming formulations, even exponential-sized ones, to extract structure from problem instances and to guide algorithms in making progress. S ...

Numerical methods for option pricing: polynomial approximation and high dimensionality

Francesco Statti

Options are some of the most traded financial instruments and computing their price is a central task in financial mathematics and in practice. Consequently, the development of numerical algorithms for pricing options is an active field of research. In gen ...

When Stuck, Flip a Coin

Slobodan Mitrovic

Many modern services need to routinely perform tasks on a large scale. This prompts us to consider the following question: How can we design efficient algorithms for large-scale computation? In this thesis, we focus on devising a general strategy to addr ...

Recompression Of Hadamard Products Of Tensors In Tucker Format

Daniel Kressner, Lana Perisa

The Hadamard product features prominently in tensor-based algorithms in scientific computing and data analysis. Due to its tendency to significantly increase ranks, the Hadamard product can represent a major computational obstacle in algorithms based on lo ...

Multi-index Monte Carlo: when sparsity meets sampling

Fabio Nobile

We propose and analyze a novel Multi Index Monte Carlo (MIMC) method for weak approximation of stochastic models that are described in terms of differential equations either driven by random measures or with random coefficients. The MIMC method is both a s ...

Multi-Objective Quality-Driven Service Selection-A Fully Polynomial Time Approximation Scheme

Boi Faltings, Immanuel Trummer

The goal of multi-objective quality-driven service selection (QDSS) is to find service selections for a workflow whose quality-of-service (QoS) values are Pareto-optimal. We consider multiple QoS attributes such as response time, cost, and reliability. A s ...

Tight Bounds for Asynchronous Renaming

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert, Dan Alistarh

This article presents the first tight bounds on the time complexity of shared-memory renaming, a fundamental problem in distributed computing in which a set of processes need to pick distinct identifiers from a small namespace. We first prove an individual ...
