I propose an alternative algorithm to compute the MMS voting rule. Instead of using linear programming, in this new algorithm the maximin support value of a committee is computed using a sequence of maximum flow problems.

In the area of query complexity of Boolean functions, the most widely studied cost measure of an algorithm is the worst-case number of queries made by it on an input. Motivated by the most natural cost measure studied in online algorithms, the competitive ratio, we consider a different cost measure for query algorithms for Boolean functions that captures the ratio of the cost of the algorithm and the cost of an optimal algorithm that knows the input in advance. The cost of an algorithm is its largest cost over all inputs. Grossman, Komargodski and Naor [ITCS'20] introduced this measure for Boolean functions, and dubbed it instance complexity. Grossman et al. showed, among other results, that monotone Boolean functions with instance complexity 1 are precisely those that depend on one or two variables. We complement the above-mentioned result of Grossman et al. by completely characterizing the instance complexity of symmetric Boolean functions. As a corollary we conclude that the only symmetric Boolean functions with instance complexity 1 are the Parity function and its complement. We also study the instance complexity of some graph properties like Connectivity and k-clique containment. In all the Boolean functions we study above, and those studied by Grossman et al., the instance complexity turns out to be the ratio of query complexity to minimum certificate complexity. It is a natural question to ask if this is the correct bound for all Boolean functions. We show a negative answer in a very strong sense, by analyzing the instance complexity of the Greater-Than and Odd-Max-Bit functions. We show that the above-mentioned ratio is linear in the input size for both of these functions, while we exhibit algorithms for which the instance complexity is a constant.

For an approximate solution of the non-stationary nonlinear Navier-Stokes equations for the flow of an incompressible viscous fluid, depending on the set of input data and the geometry of the domain, the area of optimal parameters in the variables $\nu$ and $\nu^{\ast}$ is experimentally determined depending on $\delta$ included in the definition of the $R_{\nu}$-generalized solution of the problem and the degree of the weight function in the basis of the finite element method. To discretize the problem in time, the Runge-Kutta methods of the first and second orders were used. The areas of optimal parameters for various values of the incoming angles are established.

Miura surfaces are the solutions of a constrained nonlinear elliptic system of equations. This system is derived by homogenization from the Miura fold, which is a type of origami fold with multiple applications in engineering. A previous inquiry, gave suboptimal conditions for existence of solutions and proposed an $H^2$-conformal finite element method to approximate them. In this paper, the existence of Miura surfaces is studied using a mixed formulation. It is also proved that the constraints propagate from the boundary to the interior of the domain for well-chosen boundary conditions. Then, a numerical method based on a least-squares formulation, Taylor--Hood finite elements and a Newton method is introduced to approximate Miura surfaces. The numerical method is proved to converge at order one in space and numerical tests are performed to demonstrate its robustness.

Structure-preserving linearly implicit exponential integrators are constructed for Hamiltonian partial differential equations with linear constant damping. Linearly implicit integrators are derived by polarizing the polynomial terms of the Hamiltonian function and portioning out the nonlinearly of consecutive time steps. They require only a solution of one linear system at each time step. Therefore they are computationally more advantageous than implicit integrators. We also construct an exponential version of the well-known one-step Kahan's method by polarizing the quadratic vector field. These integrators are applied to one-dimensional damped Burger's, Korteweg-de-Vries, and nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations. Preservation of the dissipation rate of linear and quadratic conformal invariants and the Hamiltonian is illustrated by numerical experiments.

We present a method for computing nearly singular integrals that occur when single or double layer surface integrals, for harmonic potentials or Stokes flow, are evaluated at points nearby. Such values could be needed in solving an integral equation when one surface is close to another or to obtain values at grid points. We replace the singular kernel with a regularized version having a length parameter $\delta$ in order to control discretization error. Analysis near the singularity leads to an expression for the error due to regularization which has terms with unknown coefficients multiplying known quantities. By computing the integral with three choices of $\delta$ we can solve for an extrapolated value that has regularization error reduced to $O(\delta^5)$. In examples with $\delta/h$ constant and moderate resolution we observe total error about $O(h^5)$. For convergence as $h \to 0$ we can choose $\delta$ proportional to $h^q$ with $q < 1$ to ensure the discretization error is dominated by the regularization error. With $q = 4/5$ we find errors about $O(h^4)$. For harmonic potentials we extend the approach to a version with $O(\delta^7)$ regularization; it typically has smaller errors but the order of accuracy is less predictable.

The numerical solution of continuum damage mechanics (CDM) problems suffers from convergence-related challenges during the material softening stage, and consequently existing iterative solvers are subject to a trade-off between computational expense and solution accuracy. In this work, we present a novel unified arc-length (UAL) method, and we derive the formulation of the analytical tangent matrix and governing system of equations for both local and non-local gradient damage problems. Unlike existing versions of arc-length solvers that monolithically scale the external force vector, the proposed method treats the latter as an independent variable and determines the position of the system on the equilibrium path based on all the nodal variations of the external force vector. This approach renders the proposed solver substantially more efficient and robust than existing solvers used in CDM problems. We demonstrate the considerable advantages of the proposed algorithm through several benchmark 1D problems with sharp snap-backs and 2D examples under various boundary conditions and loading scenarios. The proposed UAL approach exhibits a superior ability of overcoming critical increments along the equilibrium path. Moreover, the proposed UAL method is 1-2 orders of magnitude faster than force-controlled arc-length and monolithic Newton-Raphson solvers.

We investigate the combinatorics of max-pooling layers, which are functions that downsample input arrays by taking the maximum over shifted windows of input coordinates, and which are commonly used in convolutional neural networks. We obtain results on the number of linearity regions of these functions by equivalently counting the number of vertices of certain Minkowski sums of simplices. We characterize the faces of such polytopes and obtain generating functions and closed formulas for the number of vertices and facets in a 1D max-pooling layer depending on the size of the pooling windows and stride, and for the number of vertices in a special case of 2D max-pooling.

We propose a new class of models for variable clustering called Asymptotic Independent block (AI-block) models, which defines population-level clusters based on the independence of the maxima of a multivariate stationary mixing random process among clusters. This class of models is identifiable, meaning that there exists a maximal element with a partial order between partitions, allowing for statistical inference. We also present an algorithm for recovering the clusters of variables without specifying the number of clusters \emph{a priori}. Our work provides some theoretical insights into the consistency of our algorithm, demonstrating that under certain conditions it can effectively identify clusters in the data with a computational complexity that is polynomial in the dimension. This implies that groups can be learned nonparametrically in which block maxima of a dependent process are only sub-asymptotic. To further illustrate the significance of our work, we applied our method to neuroscience and environmental real-datasets. These applications highlight the potential and versatility of the proposed approach.

A robust nonconforming mixed finite element method is developed for a strain gradient elasticity (SGE) model. In two and three dimensional cases, a lower order $C^0$-continuous $H^2$-nonconforming finite element is constructed for the displacement field through enriching the quadratic Lagrange element with bubble functions. This together with the linear Lagrange element is exploited to discretize a mixed formulation of the SGE model. The robust discrete inf-sup condition is established. The sharp and uniform error estimates with respect to both the small size parameter and the Lam\'{e} coefficient are achieved, which is also verified by numerical results. In addition, the uniform regularity of the SGE model is derived under two reasonable assumptions.
