On the Hardness and Smoothed Complexity of Quasi-Concave Minimization
In this paper, we resolve the smoothed and approximative complexity of low-rank quasi-concave minimization, providing both upper and lower bounds. As an upper bound, we provide th...

Ultrafast Randomized Parallel Construction and Approximation Algorithms for Spanning Forests in Dense Graphs
We present a rst randomized Ologk n time and On+m work CRCWPRAM algorithm for nding a spanning forest of an undirected dense graph with n vertices. Furthermore we construct a rando...

Stochastic Iteration for Non-diffuse Global Illumination
This paper presents a single-pass, view-dependent method to solve the rendering equation, using a stochastic iterational scheme where the transport operator is selected randomly i...

Approximations of upper and lower probabilities by measurable selections
A random set can be regarded as the result of the imprecise observation of a random variable. Following this interpretation, we study to which extent the upper and lower probabili...

Fast Curvature Matrix-Vector Products
The method of conjugate gradients provides a very effective way to optimize large, deterministic systems by gradient descent. In its standard form, however, it is not amenable to ...
