Memory-Efficient Approximation Algorithms for Max-k-Cut and Correlation Clustering

Nimita Shinde, Vishnu Narayanan, James Saunderson

Max-k-Cut and correlation clustering are fundamental graph partitioning problems. For a graph with G=(V,E) with n vertices, the methods with the best approximation guarantees for M…

Certifying polynomial nonnegativity via hyperbolic optimization

James Saunderson

We describe a new approach to certifying the global nonnegativity of multivariate polynomials by solving hyperbolic optimization problems---a class of convex optimization problems…

Limitations on the expressive power of convex cones without long chains of faces

James Saunderson

A convex optimization problem in conic form involves minimizing a linear functional over the intersection of a convex cone and an affine subspace. In some cases, it is possible to…

Estimating the Spectral Density of Large Implicit Matrices

Ryan P. Adams, Jeffrey Pennington, Matthew J. Johnson +4

Many important problems are characterized by the eigenvalues of a large matrix. For example, the difficulty of many optimization problems, such as those arising from the fitting of…

Competitive Online Algorithms for Resource Allocation over the Positive Semidefinite Cone

Reza Eghbali, James Saunderson, Maryam Fazel

We consider a new and general online resource allocation problem, where the goal is to maximize a function of a positive semidefinite (PSD) matrix with a scalar budget constraint.…

Improving Efficiency and Scalability of Sum of Squares Optimization: Recent Advances and Limitations

Amir Ali Ahmadi, Georgina Hall, Antonis Papachristodoulou +2

It is well-known that any sum of squares (SOS) program can be cast as a semidefinite program (SDP) of a particular structure and that therein lies the computational bottleneck for…
