Runtime Analysis of the (1+1) EA on Weighted Sums of Transformed Linear Functions
Linear functions play a key role in the runtime analysis of evolutionary algorithms and studies have provided a wide range of new insights and techniques for analyzing evolutionary computation methods. Motivated by studies on separable functions and the optimization behaviour of evolutionary algorithms as well as objective functions from the area of chance constrained optimization, we study the class of objective functions that are weighted sums of two transformed linear functions. Our results show that the (1+1) EA, with a mutation rate depending on the number of overlapping bits of the functions, obtains an optimal solution for these functions in expected time O(n log n), thereby generalizing a well-known result for linear functions to a much wider range of problems.

Quantum algorithms for spectral sums
We propose new quantum algorithms for estimating spectral sums of positive semi-definite (PSD) matrices. The spectral sum of an PSD matrix $A$, for a function $f$, is defined as $ \text{Tr}[f(A)] = \sum_j f(\lambda_j)$, …
Fast Resampling Weighted v-Statistics
In this paper, a novel, computationally fast, and alternative algorithm for com- puting weighted v-statistics in resampling both univariate and multivariate data is proposed. To avoid any real resampling, we have linked …
Ellipsotopes: Combining Ellipsoids and Zonotopes for Reachability Analysis and Fault Detection
Ellipsoids are a common representation for reachability analysis, because they can be transformed efficiently under affine maps, and allow conservative approximation of Minkowski sums, which let one incorporate uncertain…

In this work, we derive sharp non-asymptotic deviation bounds for weighted sums of Dirichlet random variables. These bounds are based on a novel integral representation of the density of a weighted Dirichlet sum. This re…
