Discrete Optimal Transport with Independent Marginals is #P-Hard

Daniel Kuhn, Soroosh Shafieezadeh Abadeh, Bahar Taskesen

We study the computational complexity of the optimal transport problem that evaluates the Wasser- stein distance between the distributions of two K-dimensional discrete random vectors. The best known algorithms for this problem run in polynomial time in th ...

Removing Algorithmic Discrimination (With Minimal Individual Error)

Rachid Guerraoui, El Mahdi El Mhamdi, Alexandre David Olivier Maurer, Le Nguyen Hoang

We address for the first time the problem of correcting group discriminations within a score function, while minimizing the individual error. Each group is described by a probability density function on the set of profiles. We first solve the problem analy ...

Vehicle-to-Grid for Reliable Frequency Regulation

Dirk Lauinger

Future low-carbon societies will need to store vast amounts of electricity to stabilize electricity grids and to power electric vehicles. Vehicle-to-grid allows vehicle owners and grid operators to share the costs of electricity storage by making the batte ...

Minimum Cost Intervention Design for Causal Effect Identification

Negar Kiyavash, Sina Akbari, Seyed Jalal Etesami

Pearl's do calculus is a complete axiomatic approach to learn the identifiable causal effects from observational data. When such an effect is not identifiable, it is necessary to perform a collection of often costly interventions in the system to learn the ...

Variational Methods For Continuous-Domain Inverse Problems: the Quest for the Sparsest Solution

Thomas Jean Debarre

The goal of this thesis is to study continuous-domain inverse problems for the reconstruction of sparse signals and to develop efficient algorithms to solve such problems computationally. The task is to recover a signal of interest as a continuous function ...

Knapsack and Subset Sum with Small Items

Adam Teodor Polak, Lars Rohwedder

Knapsack and Subset Sum are fundamental NP-hard problems in combinatorial optimization. Recently there has been a growing interest in understanding the best possible pseudopolynomial running times for these problems with respect to various parameters. In t ...

Proximity Results and Faster Algorithms for Integer Programming Using the Steinitz Lemma

Friedrich Eisenbrand

We consider integer programming problems in standard form max{c(T)x : Ax = b, x >= 0, x is an element of Z(n)} where A is an element of Z(mxn), b is an element of Z(m), and c is an element of Z(n). We show that such an integer program can be solved in time ...

Enhanced Dissipation in the Navier-Stokes Equations Near the Poiseuille Flow

Klaus Martin Widmayer

We consider solutions to the 2d Navier-Stokes equations on T x R close to the Poiseuille flow, with small viscosity nu > 0. Our first result concerns a semigroup estimate for the linearized problem. Here we show that the x-dependent modes of linear solutio ...

Reliable Frequency Regulation through Vehicle-to-Grid: Encoding Legislation with Robust Constraints

Daniel Kuhn, François Richard Vuille, Dirk Lauinger

Problem definition: Vehicle-to-grid increases the low utilization rate of privately owned electric vehicles by making their batteries available to electricity grids. We formulate a robust optimization problem that maximizes a vehicle owner’s expected profi ...

Realizability of planar point embeddings from angle measurements

Majed El Helou, Adam James Scholefield, Frederike Dümbgen

Localization of a set of nodes is an important and a thoroughly researched problem in robotics and sensor networks. This paper is concerned with the theory of localization from inner-angle measurements. We focus on the challenging case where no anchor loca ...
