Machine calculations in Weyl groups.
We propose a new way of characterizing the complexity of online problems. Instead of measuring the degradation of the output quality caused by the ignorance of the future we choose to quantify the amount of additional global information needed for an online algorithm to solve the problem optimally. In our model, the algorithm cooperates with an oracle that can see the whole input. We define the advice complexity of the problem to be the minimal number of bits (normalized per input request, and...
We provide an algorithm for listing all minimal 2-dominating sets of a tree of order n in time 𝒪(1.3248n). This implies that every tree has at most 1.3248n minimal 2-dominating sets. We also show that this bound is tight.
A combinatorial description of the minimal free resolution of a lattice ideal allows us to the connection of Integer Linear Programming and Al1gebra. The non null reduced homology spaces of some simplicial complexes are the key. The extremal rays of the associated cone reduce the number of variables.
Consider Glauber dynamics for the Ising model on a graph of n vertices. Hayes and Sinclair showed that the mixing time for this dynamics is at least nlog n/f(Δ), where Δ is the maximum degree and f(Δ) = Θ(Δlog2Δ). Their result applies to more general spin systems, and in that generality, they showed that some dependence on Δ is necessary. In this paper, we focus on the ferromagnetic Ising model and prove that the mixing time of Glauber dynamics on any n-vertex graph is at least (1/4 + o(1))nlog n....
In this paper, we consider linear complementarity problems with positive definite matrices through a multi-agent network. We propose a distributed continuous-time algorithm and show its correctness and convergence. Moreover, with the help of Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov lemma and Lyapunov function, we prove its asymptotic convergence. We also present an alternative distributed algorithm in terms of an ordinary differential equation. Finally, we illustrate the effectiveness of our method by simulations....
This paper investigates a distributed solver for non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) over a multi-agent network. After reformulating the problem into the standard distributed optimization form, we design our distributed algorithm (DisNMF) based on the primal-dual method and in the form of multiplicative update rule. With the help of auxiliary functions, we provide monotonic convergence analysis. Furthermore, we show by computational complexity analysis and numerical examples that our distributed...
