The computational complexity of 0-Ext[μ] has been recently established by Karzanov and by Hirai: if metric μ is {\\em orientable modular} then 0-Ext[μ] can be solved in polynomial time, otherwise 0-Ext[μ] is NP-hard. To prove the tractability part, Hirai developed a theory of discrete convex functions on orientable modular graphs generalizing several known classes of functions in discrete convex analysis, such as L♮-convex functions. We consider a more general version of the problem in which unary functions fi(xi) can additionally have terms of the form cuv;iμ(xi,{u,v}) for {u,v}∈F, where set F⊆(V2) is fixed. We extend the complexity classification above by providing an explicit condition on (μ,F) for the problem to be tractable. In order to prove the tractability part, we generalize Hirai's theory and define a larger class of discrete convex functions. It covers, in particular, another well-known class of functions, namely submodular functions on an integer lattice. Finally, we improve the complexity of Hirai's algorithm for solving 0-Ext on orientable modular graphs.\r\n" acknowledgement: We thank the anonymous reviewers for their careful reading of our manuscript and their many insightful comments and suggestions.

The first one is a Pattern-Based Conditional Random Field (PB), in which the energy of a string (chain labeling) x=x1⁢…⁢xn∈Dn is a sum of terms over intervals [i,j] where each term is non-zero only if the substring xi⁢…⁢xj equals a prespecified word w∈Λ. The second model is a Weighted Context-Free Grammar (WCFG) frequently used for natural language processing. PB and WCFG encode local and non-local interactions respectively, and thus can be viewed as complementary. We propose a Grammatical Pattern-Based CRF model (GPB) that combines the two in a natural way. We argue that it has certain advantages over existing approaches such as the Hybrid model of Benedí and Sanchez that combines N-grams and WCFGs. The focus of this paper is to analyze the complexity of inference tasks in a GPB such as computing MAP.

The breakthrough paper of Moser and Tardos and follow-up works revealed that the LLL has intimate connections with a class of stochastic local search algorithms for finding such desirable objects. In particular, it can be seen as a sufficient condition for this type of algorithms to converge fast. Besides conditions for existence of and fast convergence to desirable objects, one may naturally ask further questions regarding properties of these algorithms. For instance, "are they parallelizable?", "how many solutions can they output?", "what is the expected "weight" of a solution?", etc. These questions and more have been answered for a class of LLL-inspired algorithms called commutative. In this paper we introduce a new, very natural and more general notion of commutativity (essentially matrix commutativity) which allows us to show a number of new refined properties of LLL-inspired local search algorithms with significantly simpler proofs. acknowledgement: "Fotis Iliopoulos: This material is based upon work directly supported by the IAS Fund for Math and indirectly supported by the National Science Foundation Grant No. CCF-1900460.

Such problem arises, for example, as a Lagrangian relaxation of various discrete optimization problems. Our main assumptions are the existence of an efficient linear minimization oracle (lmo) for fP and an efficient proximal map for h∗ which motivate the solution via a blend of proximal primal-dual algorithms and Frank-Wolfe algorithms. In case h∗ is the indicator function of a linear constraint and function f is quadratic, we show a O(1/n2) convergence rate on the dual objective, requiring O(nlogn) calls of lmo. If the problem comes from the constrained optimization problem minx∈Rd{fP(x)|Ax−b=0} then we additionally get bound O(1/n2) both on the primal gap and on the infeasibility gap. In the most general case, we show a O(1/n) convergence rate of the primal-dual gap again requiring O(nlogn) calls of lmo. To the best of our knowledge, this improves on the known convergence rates for the considered class of saddle-point problems. We show applications to labeling problems frequently appearing in machine learning and computer vision. acknowledgement: Vladimir Kolmogorov was supported by the European Research Council under the European Unions Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013)/ERC grant agreement no 616160.

Rational weights are given to the points. The goal of each player is to maximize the total weight over all points that they obtain. We restrict the setting to the case of binary weights. We show a construction of an arbitrarily large odd-sized point set that allows Bob to obtain almost 3/4 of the total weight. This construction answers a question asked by Matsumoto, Nakamigawa, and Sakuma in [Graphs and Combinatorics, 36/1 (2020)]. We also present an arbitrarily large even-sized point set where Bob can obtain the entirety of the total weight. Finally, we discuss conjectures about optimum moves in the convex grabbing game for both players in general. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Martin full_name: Dvorak, Martin id: 40ED02A8-C8B4-11E9-A9C0-453BE6697425 last_name: Dvorak orcid: 0000-0001-5293-214X - first_name: Sara full_name: Nicholson, Sara last_name: Nicholson citation: ama: 'Dvorak M, Nicholson S.

To do this, we first obtain weak convergence analysis and nonasymptotic O(1/n) convergence rate of the reflected Krasnosel'skiĭ-Mann iteration for finding a fixed point of nonexpansive mapping in real Hilbert spaces under some seemingly easy to implement conditions on the iterative parameters. We then apply our results to three-operator splitting for the monotone inclusion problem and consequently obtain the corresponding convergence analysis. Furthermore, we derive reflected primal-dual algorithms for highly structured monotone inclusion problems. Some numerical implementations are drawn from splitting methods to support the theoretical analysis. acknowledgement: The authors are grateful to the anonymous referees and the handling Editor for their insightful comments which have improved the earlier version of the manuscript greatly.
