On Stability of Multistage Stochastic Programs
We study the quantitative stability of linear multistage stochastic programs under perturbations of the underlying stochastic processes. It is shown that the optimal values behave...

Identification and Elimination of Interior Points for the Minimum Enclosing Ball Problem
Given A := {a1, . . . , am} Rn, we consider the problem of reducing the input set for the computation of the minimum enclosing ball of A. In this note, given an approximate soluti...

Smooth Optimization with Approximate Gradient
We show that the optimal complexity of Nesterov's smooth first-order optimization algorithm is preserved when the gradient is only computed up to a small, uniformly bounded er...

On the Second-Order Feasibility Cone: Primal-Dual Representation and Efficient Projection
We study the second-order feasibility cone F = {y IRn : My gT y} for given data (M, g). We construct a new representation for this cone and its dual based on the spectral decompo...

An Active-Set Newton Method for Mathematical Programs with Complementarity Constraints
For a mathematical program with complementarity constraints (MPCC), we propose an active-set Newton method, which has the property of local quadratic convergence under the MPCC lin...

A Minimax Theorem with Applications to Machine Learning, Signal Processing, and Finance
This paper concerns a fractional function of the form xT a/ xT Bx, where B is positive definite. We consider the game of choosing x from a convex set, to maximize the function, an...
