The Burer-Monteiro method is one of the most widely used techniques for solving large-scale semidefinite programs (SDP). The basic idea is to solve a nonconvex program in Y, where Y is an n×p matrix such that X = YYT. We show that this method can solve SDPs in polynomial time in a smoothed analysis setting. More precisely, we consider an S...

The identification of nodes in a network that will enable the fastest spread of information is an important if not fundamental problem in network control and design.

One of the most ubiquitous problems arising across the sciences is that of solving large-scale systems of linear equations Ax = b. When it is infeasible to solve the system directly by inversion, light and scalable iterative methods can be used instead, such as, Randomized Kaczmarz (RK) algorithm, or Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD).
