Log-Averaged Mirror Prox for Fast, Large-Scale Optimal Transport in Linear Space

Matthew X. Burns, Jiaming Liang

We propose Log-Averaged Mirror Prox (LAMP), a linear-space primal-dual method for large-scale optimal transport. LAMP implements primal mirror prox updates by tracking an averaged…

Accuracy Certificates for Convex Optimization at Accelerated Rates via Primal-Dual Averaging

Matthew X. Burns, Jiaming Liang

Many works in convex optimization provide rates for achieving a small primal gap. However, this quantity is typically unavailable in practice. In this work, we show that solving a…

General Oscillator-Based Ising Machine Models with Phase-Amplitude Dynamics and Polynomial Interactions

Lianlong Sun, Matthew X. Burns, Michael C. Huang

We present an oscillator model with both phase and amplitude dynamics for oscillator-based Ising machines (OIMs). The model targets combinatorial optimization problems with polynom…
