Processing streaming data as they arrive is often necessary for high dimensional data analysis. In this paper, we analyze the convergence of a subspace online PCA iteration, as a followup of the recent work of Li, Wang, Liu, and Zhang [Math. Program., Ser. B, DOI 10.1007/s10107-017-1182-z] who considered the case for the most significant principal component only, i.e., a single vector. Under the sub-Gaussian assumption, we obtain a finite-sample error bound that closely matches the minimax information lower bound of Vu and Lei [Ann. Statist. 41:6 (2013), 2905-2947].

Merit function approach is a popular method to deal with complementarity problems, in which the complementarity problem is recast as an unconstrained minimization via merit function or complementarity function. In this paper, for the complementarity problem associated with <i>p</i>-order cone, which is a type of nonsymmetric cone complementarity problem, we show the readers how to construct merit functions for solving <i>p</i>-order cone complementarity problem. In addition, we study the conditions under which the level sets of the corresponding merit functions are bounded, and we also assert that these merit functions provide an error bound for the <i>p</i>-order cone complementarity problem. These results build up a theoretical basis for the merit method for solving <i>p</i>-order cone complementarity problem.

In this paper, we formulate a problem of simultaneous redundant via insertion and line end extension for via yield optimization. Our problem is more general than previous works in the sense that more than one type of line end extension is considered and the objective function to be optimized directly accounts for via yield. We present a zero-one integer linear program based approach, that is equipped with two speedup techniques, to solve the addressed problem optimally. In addition, we describe how to modify our approach to exactly solve a previous work. Extensive experimental results are shown to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our approaches.
