Optimization & Numerical Analysis seminars: Iannazzo
by Federico Poloni 26 Jul '17

26 Jul '17

Speaker: Bruno Iannazzo Affiliation: Università di Perugia, Italy Time: Thursday 2017-08-27, h. 11:00 Place: Sala Seminari Est, Dipartimento di Informatica, Università di Pisa Title: The Riemannian Barzilai-Borwein algorithm and the matrix geometric mean computation Abstract: We consider the problem of computing the geometric mean of positive definite matrices, the so-called Karcher mean. For this purpose, we adapt the Barzilai-Borwein method from nonlinear optimization to Riemannian manifold optimization. Incomporating a nonmonotone line-search strategy yields global convergence under standard assumptions, fulfilled in the problem of the matrix geometric mean. By a set of numerical tests, we show that the Riemannian Barzilai-Borwein method notably outperforms existing first-order optimization methods for computing the matrix geometric mean. === Everyone is welcome.

Avviso di Seminario
by Dario A. Bini 11 Jul '17

11 Jul '17

Avviso di Seminario: Speaker: Rajendra Bhatia Affiliation: Indian Statistical Institute, Delhi Date: July 11 Time: 11:00 -- 12:00 Place: Aula Magna Title: The Bures-Wasserstein distance on positive definite matrices Abstract: We will discuss an interesting metric on the space of positive definite matrices, called the Bures distance in the quantum information literature and the Wasserstein metric in optimal transport. This has connections with Riemannian geometry, statistics, QIT and optimal transport. We will explain these connections. The two-variable and several-variable mean with respect to this metric will be described. Our perspective from matrix analysis leads to simpler proofs and suggests new problems.

The actual numerical evaluation of functions of large and sparse matrices can be quite challenging, and much effort has been devoted to this problem in recent years. An important property that is frequently exhibited by analytic functions of large and sparse matrices is the rapid off-diagonal decay of the matrix entries; careful exploitation of this property can lead to algorithms with optimal computational complexity (this means that the cost scales linearly with the dimension of the problem)./// /In this talk I will present some rigorous estimates on the size of the off-diagonal entries of analytic matrix functions. As a special case, the theory yields a proof of the exponential decay, or "localization", of the density matrix (spectral projector) arising in electronic structure computations for gapped systems, a classical problem in solid state physics and quantum chemistry. In addition to giving a precise mathematical form to W. Kohn's notion of "nearsightedness of electronic matter", these estimates provide a sound basis for the development of linear scaling methods./*//* */ /* Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Numerical analysis seminar: L.Q. Qi
by Federico Poloni 11 May '17

11 May '17

Speaker: Liqun Qi, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Department of Applied Mathematics Title: Tensor Analysis: Spectral Theory and Special Tensors Room: Sala Riunioni, Dipartimento di Matematica Time: Monday, June 12, 11:00 Abstract: Eigenvalues for tensors were introduced in 2005. Since then, a rich theory on eigenvalues of tensors and special tensors has been developed. There are two main definitions of eigenvalues of tensors. One definition is based upon homogeneous polynomial systems. This definition extends the definition of eigenvalues of matrices. A complex number is an eigenvalue of a ``square'' tensor if and only if it is a root of the characteristic polynomial of that tensor. The sum of all the eigenvalues of that tensor is equal to the sum of the diagonal entries of that tensor, while the product of all the eigenvalues of that tensor is equal to the determinant of that tensor. An eigenvalue of a real tensor with a real eigenvector is called an H-eigenvalue. An even order real symmetric tensor is positive semi-definite if and only if all of its H-eigenvalues are nonnegative. Various tensor eigenvalue inclusion theorems have been developed. Another tensor eigenvalue definition has the merit that the eigenvalues under this definition are invariant under orthonormal transformations. This makes eigenvalues under this definition found their applications in engineering, physics and mechanics. Based upon the tensor eigenvalue theory, theories on special tensors have also been developed. In particular, the Perron-Frobenius theory for irreducible nonnegative tensors and weakly irreducible nonnegative tensors has been developed, and found applications in spectral hypergraph theory and higher order Markov chains. Other special tensors include positive semi-definite tensors, sum-of-squares tensors, completely positive tensors and copositive tensors, etc. Eigenvalues of tensors also found their applications in magnetic resonance imaging, elastic mechanics, liquid crystal study, quantum entanglement and classicality problems, etc. A book “Tensor Analysis: Spectral Theory and Special Tensors'' is published by SIAM in April this year. ==== Everyone is welcome! -- --federico poloni Dipartimento di Informatica, Università di Pisa http://www.di.unipi.it/~fpoloni/ tel:+39-050-2213143

Call for Papers DAPS: Data Mining for Science of Success
by Luca Pappalardo 13 Jul '16

13 Jul '16

*Call for papers* *DAPS2016: The First International Workshop on Data mining for the Analysis of Performance and Success*, in conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM) Website: http://kdd.isti.cnr.it/daps2016/ Date: December 12, 2016, Barcelona, Spain The increasing availability of Big Data provides an unprecedented opportunity to explore the patterns underlying success. From the strategies followed by successful sportsmen to the emergence of runaway videos on YouTube, from popularity in social media to rising starts in the scientific enterprise, from widespread technologies to groundbreaking innovations, there is wealth of data that can be explored to answer common questions: How can we measure performance? What are the common patterns of success? How did successful individuals and products get to the top? What are the principles driving the dynamics of success? These are the challenging questions at the core of the emerging *Science of Success*, an interdisciplinary field that is attracting scientists from different scientific backgrounds. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers from a variety of areas, all working on the problem of analyzing and understanding the patterns of success, though from different angles. The aim is to discuss: 1) the recently developed machine learning and data mining techniques that can be leveraged to address challenges in analyzing performance and success, and 2) starting from challenges in analyzing performance and success, the practical research directions in the machine learning and data mining community. The best papers of the workshop will be invited to contribute to a special issue on "Performance and Success" edited by the journal Complexity. For more information visit the workshop website: http://kdd.isti.cnr.it/daps2016, and the ICDM conference website: http://icdm2016.eurecat.org/.

Optimization & Numerical Analysis seminars: Flores-Bazan
by Federico Poloni 23 Jun '16

23 Jun '16

Speaker: Fabián Flores Bazán Affiliation: Departamento de Ingeniería Matemática, Universidad de Concepción, Chile Time and date: Monday, 4th July 2016, 15:00 Place: Sala Seminari Est, Dipartimento di Informatica, Università di Pisa Title: A semi-infinite programming approach for the circular conic StQOP: strong duality, optimality and hidden convexity Abstract: Many formulations of quadratic allocation problems, portfolio optimization problems, the maximum weight clique problem, among others, take the form as the well-known standard quadratic optimization problem, which consist in minimizing a homogeneous quadratic function on the usual simplex in the non negative orthant. We propose to analyze the same problem when the simplex is substituted by a convex and compact base of any pointed, closed, convex (possibly circular) cone. It is associated three main duals (for which a semi-infinite formulation of the primal problem is required) and establish some characterizations of strong duality with respect to each of the three duals in terms of copositivity of the Hessian of the quadratic objective function on suitable cones. Such a problem reveals a hidden convexity. Part of the results were obtained jointly with G. Cárcamo and S. Caro. This research is supported in part by CONICYT-Chile through FONDECYT 115-0973 and BASAL projects, CMM, Universidad de Chile. === Everyone is welcome! -- --federico poloni Dipartimento di Informatica, Università di Pisa http://www.di.unipi.it/~fpoloni/ tel:+39-050-2213143
