In this paper, further extensions of the result of the paper "A successive approximation method in functional spaces for hierarchical optimal control problems and its application to learning, arXiv:2410.20617 [math.OC], 2024" concerning a class of le...
We present a new combinatorial characterization for local optimality of a codeword in an irregular Tanner code. The main novelty in this characterization is that it is based on a linear combination of subtrees in the computation trees. These subtrees...
In this work, we present a general framework for the design and analysis of two-level AMG methods. The approach is to find a basis for locally optimal or quasi-optimal coarse space, such as the space of constant vectors for standard discretizations o...
We present the design and implementation of a custom discrete optimization technique for building rule lists over a categorical feature space. Our algorithm produces rule lists with optimal training performance, according to the regularized empirical...
Quadrupedal landing is a complex process involving large impacts, elaborate contact transitions, and is a crucial recovery behavior observed in many biological animals. This work presents a real-time, optimal landing controller that is free of pre-sp...
We study opportunistic optimal liquidation over fixed deadlines on BTC-USD limit-order books (LOB). We present RL-Exec, a PPO agent trained on historical replays augmented with endogenous transient impact (resilience), partial fills, maker/taker fees...
In this paper, we study a slate bandit problem where the function that determines the slate-level reward is non-separable: the optimal value of the function cannot be determined by learning the optimal action for each slot. We are mainly concerned wi...
Cubature formulas, asymptotically optimal with respect to accuracy, are derived for calculating multidimensional weakly singular integrals. They are used for developing a universal code for calculating capacitances of conductors of arbitrary shapes...
Myerson derived a simple and elegant solution to the single-parameter revenue-maximization problem in his seminal work on optimal auction design assuming the usual model of quasi-linear utilities. In this paper, we consider a slight generalization of...
We present two open-source implementations of the Locally Optimal Block Preconditioned Conjugate Gradient (LOBPCG) algorithm to find a few eigenvalues and eigenvectors of large, possibly sparse matrices. We then test LOBPCG for various quantum chemis...
We investigate the optimal selection of weight windows for the problem of weighted least squares. We show that weight windows should be symmetric around its center, which is also its peak. We consider the class of tapered rectangle window weights, wh...
I present a theory of environmental noise spectroscopy via dynamical decoupling of a qubit at an optimal working point. Considering a sequence of $n$ pulses and pure dephasing due to quadratic coupling to Gaussian distributed noise $ξ(t)$, I use the...
We study the problem of characterizing revenue optimal auctions for single-minded buyers. Each buyer is interested only in a specific bundle of items and has a value for the same. Both his bundle and its value are his private information. The bundles...
This paper presents an optimal control problem to analyze the efficacy of counter-terrorism tactics. We present an algorithm that efficiently combines the Minimum Principle of Pontryagin, the shooting method and the cyclic descent of coordinates. We...
In this paper, we study an insulation problem that seeks to determine the optimal distribution of a given amount $m>0$ of insulating material coating an insulated boundary part $Γ_I\subseteq \partialΩ$ of a thermally conducting body $Ω\subseteq \m...
The objective of this paper is to develop simple techniques to bound the optimal uplink sum-rate of multi-user RIS-aided wireless systems. Specifically, we develop a novel technique called \textit{channel separation} which provides a new understandin...
The online Gradient Balancing (GraB) algorithm greedily choosing the examples ordering by solving the herding problem using per-sample gradients is proved to be the theoretically optimal solution that guarantees to outperform Random Reshuffling. Howe...
In this paper, we synthesize a data-driven method to predict the optimal topology of an ad-hoc robot network. This problem is technically a multi-task classification problem. However, we divide it into a class of multi-class classification problems t...
