arXiv:2607. 10618v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We consider the recovery of a pair of sparse vectors from a limited number of nonlinear observations of their superposition: $y_i=g(\inner{\ba_i}{\bPhi\bw^\ast+\bPsi\bz^\ast})+e_i$, $i=1,\dots,m$, with $m\ll n$, incoherent orthonormal bases $\bPhi,\bPsi$, a scalar link $g$, and noise $e_i$ that may be heavy-tailed or contaminated.

arXiv:2608. 12503v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We describe a simple rejection-sampling-based algorithm to perform length-squared sampling on an $n \times n$ positive-semidefinite (psd) matrix: that is, to sample a column with probability proportional to its squared $\ell_2$-norm.

arXiv:2608. 02588v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In [AS21], Axiotis and Sviridenko conjectured that the linear dependence on the restricted condition number in sparse convex optimization cannot be improved by a polynomial-time algorithm.

arXiv:2605. 25303v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The $2 \rightarrow q$ norm of a matrix $X \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times d}$ is defined as $\lVert X \rVert_{2 \rightarrow q} = \sup_{\lVert v \rVert_2 = 1} \lVert Xv \rVert_q$.
