Smooth even solutions found for a generalized convex geometry problem.
Smooth Schrödinger Bridges improve trajectory inference by smoothing Gaussian processes.
Paper finds smooth convex solutions to curvature problem.
The (global) Lipschitz smoothness condition is crucial in establishing the convergence theory for most optimization methods. Unfortunately, most machine learning and signal processing problems are not Lipschitz smooth. This motivates us to generalize the concept of Lipschitz smoothness condition to the relative smoothn…
In this paper, we develop a novel {\bf ho}moto{\bf p}y {\bf s}moothing (HOPS) algorithm for solving a family of non-smooth problems that is composed of a non-smooth term with an explicit max-structure and a smooth term or a simple non-smooth term whose proximal mapping is easy to compute. The best known iteration compl…
Paper improves stochastic bilevel optimization methods for highly-smooth problems.
We consider the problem of defining the structure of a smooth manifold on the various spaces of piecewise-smooth loops in a smooth finite dimensional manifold. We succeed for a particular type of piecewise-smooth loops. We also examine the action of the diffeomorphism group of the circle. It is not a useful action on t…
Proves existence of smooth metrics with specific curvature properties.
We study a non-parametric multi-armed bandit problem with stochastic covariates, where a key complexity driver is the smoothness of payoff functions with respect to covariates. Previous studies have focused on deriving minimax-optimal algorithms in cases where it is a priori known how smooth the payoff functions are. I…
Rectangles can fit on smooth curves, proving a theorem about Klein bottles.
In this paper we prove that there exists a smooth classical solution to the HJB equation for a large class of constrained problems with utility functions that are not necessarily differentiable or strictly concave. The value function is smooth if admissible controls satisfy an integrability condition or if it is contin…
We provide improved convergence rates for various \emph{non-smooth} optimization problems via higher-order accelerated methods. In the case of regression, we achieves an iteration complexity, breaking the barrier so far present for previous methods. We arrive at a similar rate fo…

We prove that any isometry between the unit spheres of -smooth (more generally, absolutely smooth) smooth Banach spaces extends to a linear isometry of the Banach spaces. This answers the famous Tingley's problem in the class of absolutely smooth -dimensional Banach spaces.

In this paper, we present the optimization formulation of the Kalman filtering and smoothing problems, and use this perspective to develop a variety of extensions and applications. We first formulate classic Kalman smoothing as a least squares problem, highlight special structure, and show that the classic filtering an…
We exhibit infinitely many, explicit special Lagrangian isolated singularities that admit no asymptotically conical special Lagrangian smoothings. The existence/ nonexistence of such smoothings is an important component of the current efforts to understand which singular special Lagrangians arise as limits of smooth sp…
In this article, we introduce an analogous problem to Yamabe type problem considered by Case, J., which generalizes the Escobar-Riemann mapping problem for smooth metric measure spaces with boundary. The last problem will be called Escobar-Riemann mapping type problem. For this purpose, we consider the generalization o…

Study bandit problem on smooth graph functions for recommender systems.
tl;dr: no, it cannot, at least not on average on the standard archive problems. We assess whether using six smoothing algorithms (moving average, exponential smoothing, Gaussian filter, Savitzky-Golay filter, Fourier approximation and a recursive median sieve) could be automatically applied to time series classificatio…

We prove that compact Cauchy horizons in a smooth spacetime satisfying the null energy condition are smooth. As an application, we consider the problem of determining when a cobordism admits Lorentzian metrics with certain properties. In particular, we prove a result originally due to Tipler without the smoothness hypo…
Variational problems that involve Wasserstein distances have been recently proposed to summarize and learn from probability measures. Despite being conceptually simple, such problems are computationally challenging because they involve minimizing over quantities (Wasserstein distances) that are themselves hard to compu…
By means of a general gluing and conformal-deformation construction, we prove that any smooth, metrically complete Riemannian manifold with smooth boundary can be realized as a closed domain into a smooth, geodesically complete Riemannan manifold without boundary. Applications to Sobolev spaces, Nash embedding and loca…

This paper considers a time-inconsistent stopping problem in which the inconsistency arises from non-constant time preference rates. We show that the smooth pasting principle, the main approach that has been used to construct explicit solutions for conventional time-consistent optimal stopping problems, may fail under …
We prove the existence of a local smooth Levi decomposition for smooth Poisson structures and Lie algebroids near a singular point. In the appendix of this paper, we show an abstract Nash-Moser normal form theorem, which generalizes our Levi decomposition result and which may be helpful in the study of other smooth nor…
