Greedy algorithms are simple, but their relative power is not well understood. The priority framework [5] captures a key notion of “greediness” in the sense that it processes (...
We provide an asymptotically tight, computationally efficient approximation of the joint spectral radius of a set of matrices using sum of squares (SOS) programming. The approach i...
Suppose we have a large table T of items i, each with a weight wi, e.g., people and their salary. In a general preprocessing step for estimating arbitrary subset sums, we assign e...
