An Optimal-Storage Approach to Semidefinite Programming Using Approximate Complementarity

This paper develops a new storage-optimal algorithm that provably solves almost all semidefinite programs (SDPs). This method is particularly effective for weakly constrained SDPs under appropriate regularity conditions. The key idea is to formulate an app ...

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 ...

Efficient Allocations in Constant Time: Towards Scalable Solutions in the Era of Large Scale Intelligent Systems

Boi Faltings, Panayiotis Danassis

The next technological revolution will be interwoven to the proliferation of intelligent systems. As we bridge the gap between physical and cyber worlds, we will give rise to large-scale, multi-agent based technologies. A key challenge that cities of the f ...

High Performance Computing for gravitational lens modeling: Single vs double precision on GPUs and CPUs

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Markus Rexroth, Christoph Ernst René Schäfer

Strong gravitational lensing is a powerful probe of cosmology and the dark matter distribution. Efficient lensing software is already a necessity to fully use its potential and the performance demands will only increase with the upcoming generation of tele ...

Non-Exponential Variations for Classical Results in First Passage Percolation

Jacques Saliba

We study in this thesis the asymptotic behavior of optimal paths on a random graph model, the configuration model, for which we assign continuous random positive weights on its edges. We start by describing the asymptotic behavior of the diameter and the f ...

Bound and Conquer: Improving Triangulation by Enforcing Consistency

Martin Vetterli, Adam James Scholefield, Alireza Ghasemi

We study the accuracy of triangulation in multi-camera systems with respect to the number of cameras. We show that, under certain conditions, the optimal achievable reconstruction error decays quadratically as more cameras are added to the system. Furtherm ...

Anytime Heuristic for Weighted Matching Through Altruism-Inspired Behavior

Boi Faltings, Aris Filos Ratsikas, Panayiotis Danassis

We present a novel anytime heuristic (ALMA), inspired by the human principle of altruism, for solving the assignment problem. ALMA is decentralized, completely uncoupled, and requires no communication between the participants. We prove an upper bound on th ...

Tight Bounds for Online Edge Coloring

David Wajc

Vizing's celebrated theorem asserts that any graph of maximum degree Delta admits an edge coloring using at most Delta + 1 colors. In contrast, Bar-Noy, Motwani and Naor showed over a quarter century ago that the trivial greedy algorithm, which uses 2 Delt ...

Dependence properties of spatial rainfall extremes and areal reduction factors

Anthony Christopher Davison, Sebastian Engelke

Areal reduction factors (ARFs) transform an estimate of extreme rainfall at a point to an estimate of extreme rainfall over a spatial domain, and are commonly used in flood risk estimation. For applications such as the design of large infrastructure, dam s ...

A design method for distributed luenberger observers

Colin Neil Jones, Francisco Fernandes Castro Rego

The paper addresses the problem of designing distributed observers for discrete linear time-invariant (LTI) systems with distributed sensor nodes subjected to bounded measurement noise. A solution is proposed in terms of a distributed LTI Luenberger observ ...

Increasing Availability in Distributed Storage Systems via Clustering

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Saeid Sahraei

We introduce the Fixed Cluster Repair System (FCRS) as a novel architecture for Distributed Storage Systems (DSS) that achieves a small repair bandwidth while guaranteeing a high availability. Specifically, we partition the set of servers in a DSS into s c ...

A Distributed Algorithm for Partitioned Robust Submodular Maximization

Volkan Cevher, Jonathan Mark Scarlett, Ilija Bogunovic, Slobodan Mitrovic

In this paper, we consider the problem of maximizing a monotone submodular function subject to a cardinality constraint, with two added twists: The computation is distributed across a number of machines, and we require the solution to be robust against adv ...

Collision-Free Pattern Formation

Rachid Guerraoui, Alexandre David Olivier Maurer

Shoals of small fishes can change their collective shape and form a specific pattern. They do so efficiently (in parallel) and without collision. In this paper, we study the analog problem of distributed pattern formation. A set of processes needs to move ...

Asymptotic bifurcation and second order elliptic equations on R-N

Charles Stuart

This paper deals with asymptotic bifurcation, first in the abstract setting of an equation G(u) = lambda u, where G acts between real Hilbert spaces and lambda is an element of R, and then for square-integrable solutions of a second order non-linear ellipt ...

A Fast Hadamard Transform for Signals with Sub-linear Sparsity

Martin Vetterli, Robin Scheibler, Saeid Haghighatshoar

A new iterative low complexity algorithm has been presented for computing the Walsh-Hadamard transform (WHT) of an N dimensional signal with a K-sparse WHT, where N is a power of two and K = O(N^α), scales sub- linearly in N for some 0 < α < 1. Assuming a ...

Constrained Binary Identification Problem

Amin Karbasi, Morteza Zadimoghaddam

We consider the problem of building a binary decision tree, to locate an object within a set by way of the least number of membership queries. This problem is equivalent to the “20 questions game” of information theory and is closely related to lossless so ...
