In this paper, we establish new bounds for restricted isometry constants (RIC) in low-rank matrix recovery. Let $\A$ be a linear transformation from $\R^{m \times n}$ into $\R^p$, and $r$ the rank of recovered matrix $X\in \R^{m \times n}$. Our main result is that if the condition on RIC satisfies $\delta_{2r+k}+2(\frac{r}{k})^{1/2}\delta_{\max\{r+\frac{3}{2}k,2k\}}
In this paper, we propose an efficient approach for solving a class of convex optimization problems in Hilbert spaces. Our feasible region is a (possibly infinite-dimensional) simple convex set, i.e. we assume that projections on this set are computationally easy to compute. The problem we consider is the minimization of a convex function over this … Read more
The classical column generation is based on optimal solutions of the restricted master problems. This strategy frequently results in an unstable behaviour and may require an unnecessarily large number of iterations. To overcome this weakness, variations of the classical approach use interior points of the dual feasible set, instead of optimal solutions. In this paper, … Read more
Energy consumption of communication systems is becoming a fundamental issue and, among all the sectors, wireless access networks are largely responsible for the in- crease in consumption. In addition to the access segment, wireless technologies are also gaining popularity for the back- haul infrastructure of cellular systems mainly due to their cost and easy deployment. … Read more
In this paper, we attempt to extend the definition and existing local error bound criteria to vector-valued functions, or more generally, to functions taking values in a normed linear space. Some new derivative-like objects (slopes and subdifferentials) are introduced and a general classification scheme of error bound criteria is presented. CitationPublished in Nonlinear Analysis.

This is the second part of a work devoted to the theory of epigraphical cones and their applications. A convex cone $K$ in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ is an epigraphical cone if it can be represented as epigraph of a nonnegative sublinear function $f: \mathbb{R}^n\to \mathbb{R}$. We explore the link between the geometric properties of … Read more
Up to orthogonal transformation, a solid closed convex cone $K$ in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ is the epigraph of a nonnegative sublinear function $f:\mathbb{R}^n\to \mathbb{R}$. This work explores the link between the geometric properties of $K$ and the analytic properties of $f$. CitationJOURNAL OF CONVEX ANALYSIS, 2011, in press. ArticleDownload View PDF
The Distance Geometry Problem in three dimensions consists in finding an embedding in R^3 of a given nonnegatively weighted simple undirected graph such that edge weights are equal to the corresponding Euclidean distances in the embedding. This is a continuous search problem that can be discretized under some assumptions on the minimum degree of the … Read more
In this short paper, we give an upper bound for the number of different basic feasible solutions generated by the simplex method for linear programming problems having optimal solutions. The bound is polynomial of the number of constraints, the number of variables, and the ratio between the minimum and the maximum values of all the … Read more
In this paper, we study properties of general closed convex sets that determine the closed-ness and polyhedrality of the convex hull of integer points contained in it. We first present necessary and sufficient conditions for the convex hull of integer points contained in a general convex set to be closed. This leads to useful results … Read more
