We propose novel two-channel filter banks for signals on graphs. Our designs can be applied to arbitrary graphs, given a positive semi definite variation operator, while using arbitrary vertex partitions for downsampling. The proposed generalized filter banks (GFBs) also satisfy several desirable properties including perfect reconstruction and critical sampling, while having efficient implementations. Our results generalize previous approaches that were only valid for the normalized Laplacian of bipartite graphs. Our approach is based on novel graph Fourier transforms (GFTs) given by the generalized eigenvectors of the variation operator. These GFTs are orthogonal in an alternative inner product space which depends on the downsampling and variation operators. Our key theoretical contribution is showing that the spectral folding property of the normalized Laplacian of bipartite graphs, at the core of bipartite filter bank theory, can be generalized for the proposed GFT if the inner product matrix is chosen properly. In addition, we study vertex domain and spectral domain properties of GFBs and illustrate their probabilistic interpretation using Gaussian graphical models. While GFBs can be defined given any choice of a vertex partition for downsampling, we propose an algorithm to optimize these partitions with a criterion that favors balanced partitions with large graph cuts, which are shown to lead to efficient and stable GFB implementations. Our numerical experiments show that partition-optimized GFBs can be implemented efficiently on 3D point clouds with hundreds of thousands of points (nodes), while also improving the color signal representation quality over competing state-of-the-art approaches.

We present a new deep unfolding network for analysis-sparsity-based Compressed Sensing. The proposed network coined Decoding Network (DECONET) jointly learns a decoder that reconstructs vectors from their incomplete, noisy measurements and a redundant sparsifying analysis operator, which is shared across the layers of DECONET. Moreover, we formulate the hypothesis class of DECONET and estimate its associated Rademacher complexity. Then, we use this estimate to deliver meaningful upper bounds for the generalization error of DECONET. Finally, the validity of our theoretical results is assessed and comparisons to state-of-the-art unfolding networks are made, on both synthetic and real-world datasets. Experimental results indicate that our proposed network outperforms the baselines, consistently for all datasets, and its behaviour complies with our theoretical findings.

We study the capacity planning and allocation decisions for multiple heterogeneous resources, considering potential demand scenarios, where each demand requests a subset of the available resource types simultaneously at a specified time, location, and duration (smRmD). We model this problem as a two-stage stochastic integer program and consider two variants for the objective function: (a) maximize the expected reward of demands met over all scenarios, subject to a budget B for resources, and (b) maximize the expected reward of demands met over all scenarios minus the cost of resources. Contributions of this work include (i) a thorough complexity analysis of smRmD and its variants, (ii) analysis of structural properties, (iii) development of various approximation algorithms using the unique structural properties of smRmD and its variants, and (iv) an extensive computational study to explore the ease with which exact and approximate solutions may be found.

Markov games provide a powerful framework for modeling strategic multi-agent interactions in dynamic environments. Traditionally, convergence properties of decentralized learning algorithms in these settings have been established only for special cases, such as Markov zero-sum and potential games, which do not fully capture real-world interactions. In this letter, we address this gap by studying the asymptotic properties of learning algorithms in general-sum Markov games. In particular, we focus on a decentralized algorithm where each agent adopts an actor-critic learning dynamic with asynchronous step sizes. This decentralized approach enables agents to operate independently, without requiring knowledge of others' strategies or payoffs. We introduce the concept of a Markov Near-Potential Function (MNPF) and demonstrate that it serves as an approximate Lyapunov function for the policy updates in the decentralized learning dynamics, which allows us to characterize the convergent set of strategies. We further strengthen our result under specific regularity conditions and with finite Nash equilibria.

The applications of the partial fraction decomposition in control and systems engineering are several. In this letter, we use the partial fraction decomposition to address the pole variation rate problem, namely to study the rate of variation of the system poles when the control parameter changes and when the system is subject to variations of its own parameters, which has led to the proposal of a new algorithm for the construction of the root locus. The new algorithm is proven to be much more efficient in terms of execution time than the dedicated MATLAB function, while providing the same output results.

This letter details two novel algorithms for computing asset allocations given dynamic requests for support. Using spatial and temporal discretization, the first algorithm casts the allocation problem as a lexicographic integer-linear program (ILP) that is efficiently solved using an ILP solver. Improving computational efficiency, the second algorithm replaces the ILP solver with a novel dual-tactic linear program solver. Provided proofs, complexity analyses, and numerical analyses demonstrate the computational efficiency and convergence of both algorithms to performant solutions. Discussion of application to broad domains such as defense, conservation, and resource management for businesses is provided.

There has been a recent surge of interest in the study of asymptotic reconstruction performance in various cases of generalized linear estimation problems in the teacher-student setting, especially for the case of i.i.d standard normal matrices. Here, we go beyond these matrices, and prove an analytical formula for the reconstruction performance of convex generalized linear models with rotationally-invariant data matrices with arbitrary bounded spectrum, rigorously confirming, under suitable assumptions, a conjecture originally derived using the replica method from statistical physics. The proof is achieved by leveraging on message passing algorithms and the statistical properties of their iterates, allowing to characterize the asymptotic empirical distribution of the estimator. For sufficiently strongly convex problems, we show that the two-layer vector approximate message passing algorithm (2-MLVAMP) converges, where the convergence analysis is done by checking the stability of an equivalent dynamical system, which gives the result for such problems. We then show that, under a concentration assumption, an analytical continuation may be carried out to extend the result to convex (non-strongly) problems. We illustrate our claim with numerical examples on mainstream learning methods such as sparse logistic regression and linear support vector classifiers, showing excellent agreement between moderate size simulation and the asymptotic prediction.

The postal sector plays a crucial role in enhancing and advancing services for businesses and citizens through its diverse services. Hence, optimizing the routing system collecting and transporting letters and parcels is a vital element within a well-rounded delivery management system. We model the problem as a Capacitated vehicle routing problem (CVRP) with two-dimensional loading constraints (2L-CVRP). This involves designing a set of routes that start and end at a central depot. Moreover, items in each vehicle trip must satisfy the two-dimensional orthogonal packing constraints. The main objective is to optimize the total transportation costs using a homogeneous vehicle fleet. Due to the NP-hardness of the 2L-CVRP, we proposed an adaptive chemical reaction optimization (ACRO) metaheuristic to generate potential solutions. The algorithm adjusts its parameters and is intelligent search strategies during the optimization process based on the characteristics of the problem. Consequently, the algorithm can exploit and explore new regions of the search space. We compared our results with state-of-the-art meta-heuristics using 2L-CVRP benchmark instances from the literature. The results showed competitive solutions regarding the optimal ones. The empirical results, derived from benchmark datasets comprising a total of 180 instancesrove the high competitiveness of the proposed ACRO. It achieves a 67% success rate out of 36 instances for class 1 and a 59% success rate out of 144 instances for class 2-5 in terms of obtained solutions. In addition to benchmarking, we considered a real-world case study from the Tunisian Post Office. The ACRO results outperform the scenario adopted by the post office.
