Numerical optimal control of the wave equation: optimal boundary control of a string to rest in finite time
In many real-life applications of optimal control problems with constraints in form of partial differential equations (PDEs), hyperbolic equations are involved which typically desc...

Near-Optimal Sparse Recovery in the L1 Norm
Abstract— We consider the approximate sparse recovery problem, where the goal is to (approximately) recover a highdimensional vector x ∈ Rn from its lower-dimensional sketch Ax...

Stochastic Optimization is (Almost) as easy as Deterministic Optimization
Stochastic optimization problems attempt to model uncertainty in the data by assuming that (part of) the input is specified in terms of a probability distribution. We consider the...

Optimizing portfolio tail measures: Asymptotics and efficient simulation optimization
We consider a portfolio allocation problem where the objective function is a tail event such as probability of large portfolio losses. The dependence between assets is captured th...

PTAS for maximum weight independent set problem with random weights in bounded degree graphs
Finding the largest independent set in a graph is a notoriously difficult NP-complete combinatorial optimization problem. Moreover, even for graphs with largest degree 3, no polyn...
