Symbolic Computation

The purpose of this paper is to explore the question "to what extent could we produce formal, machine-verifiable, proofs in real algebraic geometry?" The question has been asked before but as yet the leading algorithms for answering such…

We present a new algorithm for determining the satisfiability of conjunctions of non-linear polynomial constraints over the reals, which can be used as a theory solver for satisfiability modulo theory (SMT) solving for non-linear real…

There are a variety of choices to be made in both computer algebra systems (CASs) and satisfiability modulo theory (SMT) solvers which can impact performance without affecting mathematical correctness. Such choices are candidates for…

Let $V$ be the set of real common solutions to $F = (f_1, \ldots, f_s)$ in $\mathbb{R}[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ and $D$ be the maximum total degree of the $f_i$'s. We design an algorithm which on input $F$ computes the dimension of $V$. Letting…

Linear recurrent sequences are those whose elements are defined as linear combinations of preceding elements, and finding recurrence relations is a fundamental problem in computer algebra. In this paper, we focus on sequences whose elements…

Signature-based algorithms have brought large improvements in the performances of Gr\"obner bases algorithms for polynomial systems over fields. Furthermore, they yield additional data which can be used, for example, to compute the module…

Quantifier elimination over the reals is a central problem in computational real algebraic geometry, polynomial system solving and symbolic computation. Given a semi-algebraic formula (whose atoms are polynomial constraints) with…

Let $p(x)$ be an integer polynomial with $m\ge 2$ distinct roots $\rho_1,\ldots,\rho_m$ whose multiplicities are $\boldsymbol{\mu}=(\mu_1,\ldots,\mu_m)$. We define the D-plus discriminant of $p(x)$ to be $D^+(p):= \prod_{1\le i<j\le…

We present a new open source C library \texttt{msolve} dedicated to solving multivariate polynomial systems of dimension zero through computer algebra methods. The core algorithmic framework of \texttt{msolve} relies on Gr\''obner bases and…

Quadratization problem is, given a system of ODEs with polynomial right-hand side, transform the system to a system with quadratic right-hand side by introducing new variables. Such transformations have been used, for example, as a…

Let $F(z)$ be an arbitrary complex polynomial. We introduce the local root clustering problem, to compute a set of natural $\varepsilon$-clusters of roots of $F(z)$ in some box region $B_0$ in the complex plane. This may be viewed as an…

Introduced by Tate in [Ta71], Tate algebras play a major role in the context of analytic geometry over the-adics, where they act as a counterpart to the use of polynomial algebras in classical algebraic geometry. In [CVV19] the formalism of…

We develop a class of algebraic interpretations for many-sorted and higher-order term rewriting systems that takes type information into account. Specifically, base-type terms are mapped to \emph{tuples} of natural numbers and higher-order…

A general overview of the existing difference ring theory for symbolic summation is given. Special emphasis is put on the user interface: the translation and back translation of the corresponding representations within the term algebra and…

We provide algorithms to reconstruct rational ruled surfaces in three-dimensional projective space from the `apparent contour' of a single projection to the projective plane. We deal with the case of tangent developables and of general…

The sparse difference resultant introduced in \citep{gao-2015} is a basic concept in difference elimination theory. In this paper, we show that the sparse difference resultant of a generic Laurent transformally essential system can be…

This paper describes an algorithm which computes the characteristic polynomial of a matrix over a field within the same asymptotic complexity, up to constant factors, as the multiplication of two square matrices. Previously, this was only…

New algorithms are presented for computing annihilating polynomials of Toeplitz, Hankel, and more generally Toeplitz+ Hankel-like matrices over a field. Our approach follows works on Coppersmith's block Wiedemann method with structured…

Let $\mathbf{f} = \left(f_1, \dots, f_p\right) $ be a polynomial tuple in $\mathbb{Q}[z_1, \dots, z_n]$ and let $d = \max_{1 \leq i \leq p} \deg f_i$. We consider the problem of computing the set of asymptotic critical values of the…

In this paper, we are concerned with the problem of counting the multiplicities of a zero-dimensional regular set's zeros. We generalize the squarefree decomposition of univariate polynomials to the so-called pseudo squarefree decomposition…
