Duality Bounds for Convexified Packing in Hilbert Geometry
Sunil Arya, David M. Mount
Let and be convex bodies in , where and . Given , the Hilbert packing number is the maximum…
Differentiable Approximations for Distance Queries
Ahmed Abdelkader, David M. Mount
The widespread use of gradient-based optimization has motivated the adaptation of various classical algorithms into differentiable solvers compatible with learning pipelines. In th…
Convex Approximation and the Hilbert Geometry
Ahmed Abdelkader, David M. Mount
The efficient representation of convex bodies in multi-dimensional spaces is a fundamental problem in computational geometry. Several key developments were recently brought about u…
Cauchy's Surface Area Formula in the Funk Geometry
Sunil Arya, David M. Mount
Cauchy's surface area formula expresses the surface area of a convex body as the average area of its orthogonal projections over all directions. While this tool is fundamental in E…
Linear-Sized Spectral Sparsifiers and the Kadison-Singer Problem
Phevos Paschalidis, Ashley Zhuang
The Kadison-Singer Conjecture, as proved by Marcus, Spielman, and Srivastava (MSS) [Ann. Math. 182, 327-350 (2015)], has been informally thought of as a strengthening of Batson, Sp…
Optimal Area-Sensitive Bounds for Polytope Approximation
Sunil Arya, Guilherme D. da Fonseca, David M. Mount
Approximating convex bodies is a fundamental problem in geometry. Given a convex body in for a fixed dimension , the objective is to minimize the number of fa…
