Continuous optimization is a key component of modern data analysis. Recently, the demands
of extremely large-scale applications have shifted the focus from high cost, high accuracy
methods to low…
We give an efficient algorithm for computing a Cournot equilibrium when the producers are confined to integers, the inverse demand function is linear, and costs are quadratic. The method also…
A great success of the 20th century was the development of fast transforms such
as the fast Fourier transform, the fast multipole method, and butterfly algorithms. In
this talk we carefully employ…
Variational analysis has come of age. Long an elegant theoretical toolkit for variational mathematics and nonsmooth optimization, it now increasingly underpins the study of algorithms, and a rich…
