We construct a space-time parallel method for solving parabolic partial differential equations by coupling the Parareal algorithm in time with overlapping domain decomposition in space. The goal is to obtain a discretization consisting of "local" problems that can be solved on parallel computers efficiently. However, this introduces significant sources of error that must be evaluated. Reformulating the original Parareal algorithm as a variational method and implementing a finite element discretization in space enables an adjoint-based a posteriori error analysis to be performed. Through an appropriate choice of adjoint problems and residuals the error analysis distinguishes between errors arising due to the temporal and spatial discretizations, as well as between the errors arising due to incomplete Parareal iterations and incomplete iterations of the domain decomposition solver. We first develop an error analysis for the Parareal method applied to parabolic partial differential equations, and then refine this analysis to the case where the associated spatial problems are solved using overlapping domain decomposition. These constitute our Time Parallel Algorithm (TPA) and Space-Time Parallel Algorithm (STPA) respectively. Numerical experiments demonstrate the accuracy of the estimator for both algorithms and the iterations between distinct components of the error.

The Gromov-Hausdorff distance $(d_{GH})$ proves to be a useful distance measure between shapes. In order to approximate $d_{GH}$ for compact subsets $X,Y\subset\mathbb{R}^d$, we look into its relationship with $d_{H,iso}$, the infimum Hausdorff distance under Euclidean isometries. As already known for dimension $d\geq 2$, the $d_{H,iso}$ cannot be bounded above by a constant factor times $d_{GH}$. For $d=1$, however, we prove that $d_{H,iso}\leq\frac{5}{4}d_{GH}$. We also show that the bound is tight. In effect, this gives rise to an $O(n\log{n})$-time algorithm to approximate $d_{GH}$ with an approximation factor of $\left(1+\frac{1}{4}\right)$.

In this paper, we consider the problem of reconstructing trees from traces in the tree edit distance model. Previous work by Davies et al. (2019) analyzed special cases of reconstructing labeled trees. In this work, we significantly expand our understanding of this problem by giving general results in the case of arbitrary trees. Namely, we give: a reduction from the tree trace reconstruction problem to the more classical string reconstruction problem when the tree topology is known, a lower bound for learning arbitrary tree topologies, and a general algorithm for learning the topology of any tree using techniques of Nazarov and Peres (2017). We conclude by discussing why arbitrary trees require exponentially many samples under the left propagation model.

The Fr\'{e}chet distance is a well-studied similarity measure between curves that is widely used throughout computer science. Motivated by applications where curves stem from paths and walks on an underlying graph (such as a road network), we define and study the Fr\'{e}chet distance for paths and walks on graphs. When provided with a distance oracle of $G$ with $O(1)$ query time, the classical quadratic-time dynamic program can compute the Fr\'{e}chet distance between two walks $P$ and $Q$ in a graph $G$ in $O(|P| \cdot |Q|)$ time. We show that there are situations where the graph structure helps with computing Fr\'{e}chet distance: when the graph $G$ is planar, we apply existing (approximate) distance oracles to compute a $(1+\varepsilon)$-approximation of the Fr\'{e}chet distance between any shortest path $P$ and any walk $Q$ in $O(|G| \log |G| / \sqrt{\varepsilon} + |P| + \frac{|Q|}{\varepsilon } )$ time. We generalise this result to near-shortest paths, i.e. $\kappa$-straight paths, as we show how to compute a $(1+\varepsilon)$-approximation between a $\kappa$-straight path $P$ and any walk $Q$ in $O(|G| \log |G| / \sqrt{\varepsilon} + |P| + \frac{\kappa|Q|}{\varepsilon } )$ time. Our algorithmic results hold for both the strong and the weak discrete Fr\'{e}chet distance over the shortest path metric in $G$. Finally, we show that additional assumptions on the input, such as our assumption on path straightness, are indeed necessary to obtain truly subquadratic running time. We provide a conditional lower bound showing that the Fr\'{e}chet distance, or even its $1.01$-approximation, between arbitrary \emph{paths} in a weighted planar graph cannot be computed in $O((|P|\cdot|Q|)^{1-\delta})$ time for any $\delta > 0$ unless the Orthogonal Vector Hypothesis fails. For walks, this lower bound holds even when $G$ is planar, unit-weight and has $O(1)$ vertices.

Freight carriers rely on tactical planning to design their service network to satisfy demand in a cost-effective way. For computational tractability, deterministic and cyclic Service Network Design (SND) formulations are used to solve large-scale problems. A central input is the periodic demand, that is, the demand expected to repeat in every period in the planning horizon. In practice, demand is predicted by a time series forecasting model and the periodic demand is the average of those forecasts. This is, however, only one of many possible mappings. The problem consisting in selecting this mapping has hitherto been overlooked in the literature. We propose to use the structure of the downstream decision-making problem to select a good mapping. For this purpose, we introduce a multilevel mathematical programming formulation that explicitly links the time series forecasts to the SND problem of interest. The solution is a periodic demand estimate that minimizes costs over the tactical planning horizon. We report results in an extensive empirical study of a large-scale application from the Canadian National Railway Company. They clearly show the importance of the periodic demand estimation problem. Indeed, the planning costs exhibit an important variation over different periodic demand estimates and using an estimate different from the mean forecast can lead to substantial cost reductions. Moreover, the costs associated with the periodic demand estimates based on forecasts were comparable to, or even better than those obtained using the mean of actual demand.

Sampling-based motion planning algorithms are widely used in robotics because they are very effective in high-dimensional spaces. However, the success rate and quality of the solutions are determined by an adequate selection of their parameters such as the distance between states, the local planner, and the sampling distribution. For robots with large configuration spaces or dynamic restrictions, selecting these parameters is a challenging task. This paper proposes a method for improving the performance to a set of the most popular sampling-based algorithms, the Rapidly-exploring Random Trees (RRTs) by adjusting the sampling method. The idea is to replace the uniform probability density function (U-PDF) with a custom distribution (C-PDF) learned from previously successful queries in similar tasks. With a few samples, our method builds a custom distribution that allows the RRT to grow to promising states that will lead to a solution. We tested our method in several autonomous driving tasks such as parking maneuvers, obstacle clearance and under narrow passages scenarios. The results show that the proposed method outperforms the original RRT and several improved versions in terms of success rate, tree density and computation time. In addition, the proposed method requires a relatively small set of examples, unlike current deep learning techniques that require a vast amount of examples.

In this study, we analyze the efficiency of a protocol with discrete modulation of continuous variable non-Gaussian states, the coherent states having one photon added and then one photon subtracted (PASCS). We calculate the secure key generation rate against collective attacks using the fact that Eve's information can be bounded based on the protocol with Gaussian modulation, which in turn is unconditionally secure. Our results for a four-state protocol show that the PASCS always outperforms the equivalent coherent states protocol under the same environmental conditions. Interestingly, we find that for the protocol using discrete-modulated PASCS, the noisier the line, the better will be its performance compared to the protocol using coherent states. Thus, our proposal proves to be advantageous for performing quantum key distribution in non-ideal situations.

Attributed graph clustering is challenging as it requires joint modelling of graph structures and node attributes. Recent progress on graph convolutional networks has proved that graph convolution is effective in combining structural and content information, and several recent methods based on it have achieved promising clustering performance on some real attributed networks. However, there is limited understanding of how graph convolution affects clustering performance and how to properly use it to optimize performance for different graphs. Existing methods essentially use graph convolution of a fixed and low order that only takes into account neighbours within a few hops of each node, which underutilizes node relations and ignores the diversity of graphs. In this paper, we propose an adaptive graph convolution method for attributed graph clustering that exploits high-order graph convolution to capture global cluster structure and adaptively selects the appropriate order for different graphs. We establish the validity of our method by theoretical analysis and extensive experiments on benchmark datasets. Empirical results show that our method compares favourably with state-of-the-art methods.

Graph neural networks (GNNs) are a popular class of machine learning models whose major advantage is their ability to incorporate a sparse and discrete dependency structure between data points. Unfortunately, GNNs can only be used when such a graph-structure is available. In practice, however, real-world graphs are often noisy and incomplete or might not be available at all. With this work, we propose to jointly learn the graph structure and the parameters of graph convolutional networks (GCNs) by approximately solving a bilevel program that learns a discrete probability distribution on the edges of the graph. This allows one to apply GCNs not only in scenarios where the given graph is incomplete or corrupted but also in those where a graph is not available. We conduct a series of experiments that analyze the behavior of the proposed method and demonstrate that it outperforms related methods by a significant margin.

In this work, we consider the distributed optimization of non-smooth convex functions using a network of computing units. We investigate this problem under two regularity assumptions: (1) the Lipschitz continuity of the global objective function, and (2) the Lipschitz continuity of local individual functions. Under the local regularity assumption, we provide the first optimal first-order decentralized algorithm called multi-step primal-dual (MSPD) and its corresponding optimal convergence rate. A notable aspect of this result is that, for non-smooth functions, while the dominant term of the error is in $O(1/\sqrt{t})$, the structure of the communication network only impacts a second-order term in $O(1/t)$, where $t$ is time. In other words, the error due to limits in communication resources decreases at a fast rate even in the case of non-strongly-convex objective functions. Under the global regularity assumption, we provide a simple yet efficient algorithm called distributed randomized smoothing (DRS) based on a local smoothing of the objective function, and show that DRS is within a $d^{1/4}$ multiplicative factor of the optimal convergence rate, where $d$ is the underlying dimension.
