Covering a Ball with Smaller Equal Balls in ℝ n

TLDR
An explicit upper bound of the minimal number νT,n of balls of radius 1/2 which form a covering of a ball of radius T >1/2 in ℝn, n is given.
Abstract
We give an explicit upper bound of the minimal number νT,n of balls of radius 1/2 which form a covering of a ball of radius T > 1/2 in ℝn, n \geq 2 The asymptotic estimates of νT,n we deduce when n is large are improved further by recent results of Boroczky, Jr and Wintsche on the asymptotic estimates of the minimal numberof equal balls of ℝn covering the sphere Sn-1 The optimality of the asymptotic estimates is discussed

Packing and Covering. By C. A. Rogers. Pp. viii, 111. 30s. 1964. (Cambridge)

TL;DR: The existence of reasonably dense lattice coverings and reasonably economical lattice covers has been studied in this paper, where the authors show that simplices cannot be very dense and coverings with spheres cannot have very economical coverings.

Stochastic Convex Optimization.

TL;DR: Stochastic convex optimization is studied, and it is shown that the key ingredient is strong convexity and regularization, which is only a sufficient, but not necessary, condition for meaningful non-trivial learnability.

Fast construction of nets in low dimensional metrics, and their applications

TL;DR: A near linear time algorithm for constructing hierarchical nets in finite metric spaces with constant doubling dimension is presented and this data-structure is applied to obtain improved algorithms for the following problems: Approximate nearest neighbor search, well-separated pair decomposition, spanner construction, compact representation scheme, doubling measure, and computation of the Lipschitz constant of a function.

ByRDiE: Byzantine-Resilient Distributed Coordinate Descent for Decentralized Learning

TL;DR: This paper focuses on the problem of Byzantine failures, which are the hardest to safeguard against in distributed algorithms, and develops and analyzes an algorithm termed Byzantine-resilient distributed coordinate descent that enables distributed learning in the presence of Byzantine fails.

The Number of Circles Covering a Set

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the best way to cover a given area with circles of a given radius E is to place the centers of the circles on an equilateral triangle network, i.e., to circumscribe (inscribe) the circles about the hexagons of a regular hexagon network or honeycomb.
