In a previous work we developed a convex infinite dimensional linear programming (LP) approach to approximating the region of attraction (ROA) of polynomial dynamical systems subject to compact basic semialgebraic state constraints. Finite dimensional rela ...
In [GT], Goldin and Tolman extend some ideas from Schubert calculus to the more general setting of Hamiltonian torus actions on compact symplectic manifolds with isolated fixed points. (See also [Kn99,Kn08].) The main goal of this paper is to build on this ...
We propose a novel approach to automated delineation of linear structures that form complex and potentially loopy networks. This is in contrast to earlier approaches that usually assume a tree topology for the networks. At the heart of our method is an Int ...
For an integer d a parts per thousand yen 1, let tau(d) be the smallest integer with the following property: if v (1), v (2), . . . , v (t) is a sequence of t a parts per thousand yen 2 vectors in [-1, 1] (d) with , then there is a set of indices, 2 a part ...
The School Bus Problem is an NP-hard vehicle routing problem in which the goal is to route buses that transport children to a school such that for each child, the distance travelled on the bus does not exceed the shortest distance from the child's home to ...
A well-studied special case of bin packing is the 3-partition problem, where n items of size > 1/4 have to be packed in a minimum number of bins of capacity one. The famous Karmarkar-Karp algorithm transforms a fractional solution of a suitable LP relaxati ...
One of the classic results in scheduling theory is the 2-approximation algorithm by Lenstra, Shmoys, and Tardos for the problem of scheduling jobs to minimize makespan on unrelated machines; i.e., job j requires time p(ij) if processed on machine i. More t ...
Matrix factorization techniques such as the singular value decomposition (SVD) have had great success in recommender systems. We present a new perspective of SVD for constructing a latent space from the training data, which is justified by the theory of hy ...
The polynomial Hirsch conjecture states that the vertex-edge diameter of a d-dimensional polyhedron with n facets is bounded by a polynomial in d and n. For the special case where the polyhedron is defined as the set of points satisfying a system Ax ≤ b of ...
In this paper we construct a deterministic polyno- mial time algorithm for the problem where a set of users is interested in gaining access to a common file, but where each has only partial knowledge of the file. We further assume the existence of another ...
