Universal Coding of Function Spaces as a Model for Signal Compression
We address the problem of signal compression, basing on the mathematical model, in which a set of all possible signals is considered as a function space with a metric . The main a...

Computing similarity between piecewise-linear functions
We study the problem of computing the similarity between two piecewise-linear bivariate functions defined over a common domain, where the surfaces they define in 3D—polyhedral...

Efficient Minimization of Decomposable Submodular Functions
Many combinatorial problems arising in machine learning can be reduced to the problem of minimizing a submodular function. Submodular functions are a natural discrete analog of co...

Global minimization of rational functions and the nearest GCDs
This paper discusses the global minimization of rational functions with or without constraints. We studied the sum of squares (SOS) relaxations and their properties to solve this ...
