The objective is to maximize some measure of information gained about the system from the observations, leading to a convex integer optimization problem. We leverage Boscia.jl, a recent algorithmic framework, which is based on a nonlinear branch-and-bound algorithm with node relaxations solved to approximate optimality using Frank-Wolfe algorithms. One particular advantage of the method is its efficient utilization of the polytope formed by the original constraints which is preserved by the method, unlike alternative methods relying on epigraph-based formulations. We assess our method against both generic and specialized convex mixed-integer approaches. Computational results highlight the performance of our proposed method, especially on large and challenging instances.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KiemPokuttaSpiegel2024, author = {Kiem, Aldo and Pokutta, Sebastian and Spiegel, Christoph}, title = {Categorification of Flag Algebras}, booktitle = {Discrete Mathematics Days 2024}, doi = {10.37536/TYSP5643}, pages = {259 -- 264}, year = {2024}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KiemPokuttaSpiegel2024, author = {Kiem, Aldo and Pokutta, Sebastian and Spiegel, Christoph}, title = {The Four-Color Ramsey Multiplicity of Triangles}, booktitle = {Discrete Mathematics Days 2024}, doi = {10.37536/TYSP5643}, pages = {13 -- 18}, year = {2024}, language = {en} } @article{HahnKlimrothParczykPerson2024, author = {Hahn-Klimroth, Max and Parczyk, Olaf and Person, Yury}, title = {Minimum degree conditions for containing an r-regular r-connected spanning subgraph}, volume = {118}, journal = {European Journal of Combinatorics}, doi = {10.1016/j.ejc.2024.103940}, pages = {103940}, year = {2024}, language = {en} } @article{MundingerPokuttaSpiegeletal.2024, author = {Mundinger, Konrad and Pokutta, Sebastian and Spiegel, Christoph and Zimmer, Max}, title = {Extending the Continuum of Six-Colorings}, volume = {34}, journal = {Geombinatorics Quarterly}, number = {1}, arxiv = {http://arxiv.org/abs/2404.05509}, pages = {20 -- 29}, year = {2024}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MundingerPokuttaSpiegeletal.2024, author = {Mundinger, Konrad and Pokutta, Sebastian and Spiegel, Christoph and Zimmer, Max}, title = {Extending the Continuum of Six-Colorings}, booktitle = {Discrete Mathematics Days 2024}, doi = {10.37536/TYSP5643}, pages = {178 -- 183}, year = {2024}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MartinezRubioRouxPokutta2024, author = {Mart{\´i}nez-Rubio, David and Roux, Christophe and Pokutta, Sebastian}, title = {Convergence and Trade-Offs in Riemannian Gradient Descent and Riemannian Proximal Point}, volume = {235}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 41st International Conference on Machine Learning}, pages = {34920 -- 34948}, year = {2024}, abstract = {In this work, we analyze two of the most fundamental algorithms in geodesically convex optimization: Riemannian gradient descent and (possibly inexact) Riemannian proximal point. We quantify their rates of convergence and produce different variants with several trade-offs. Crucially, we show the iterates naturally stay in a ball around an optimizer, of radius depending on the initial distance and, in some cases, on the curvature. Previous works simply assumed bounded iterates, resulting in rates that were not fully quantified. We also provide an implementable inexact proximal point algorithm and prove several new useful properties of Riemannian proximal methods: they work when positive curvature is present, the proximal operator does not move points away from any optimizer, and we quantify the smoothness of its induced Moreau envelope. Further, we explore beyond our theory with empirical tests.}, language = {en} } @article{GebhardHahnKlimrothPenschucketal.2022, author = {Gebhard, Oliver and Hahn-Klimroth, Max and Penschuck, Manuel and Rolvien, Maurice and Scarlett, Jonathan and Tan, Nelvin and Parczyk, Olaf}, title = {Near optimal sparsity-constrained group testing: improved bounds}, journal = {IEEE Transactions on Information Theory}, year = {2022}, language = {en} } @article{ParczykPokuttaSpiegeletal.2024, author = {Parczyk, Olaf and Pokutta, Sebastian and Spiegel, Christoph and Szab{\´o}, Tibor}, title = {New Ramsey multiplicity bounds and search heuristics}, journal = {Foundations of Computational Mathematics}, doi = {10.1007/s10208-024-09675-6}, year = {2024}, language = {en} } @article{AllenPfenningerParczyk2024, author = {Allen, Peter and Pfenninger, Vincent and Parczyk, Olaf}, title = {Resilience for tight Hamiltonicity}, volume = {4}, journal = {Combinatorial Theory}, number = {1}, doi = {10.5070/C64163846}, year = {2024}, language = {en} }
