We extend Robust Optimization to fractional programming, where both the objective and the constraints contain uncertain parameters. Earlier work did not consider uncertainty in both the objective and the constraints, or did not use Robust…

A data analyst might worry about generalization if dropping a very small fraction of data points from a study could change its substantive conclusions. Checking this non-robustness directly poses a combinatorial optimization problem and is…

Motivated by an application in computational biology, we consider low-rank matrix factorization with $\{0,1\}$-constraints on one of the factors and optionally convex constraints on the second one. In addition to the non-convexity shared…

We point out critical deficiencies in lattice-based cryptanalysis of common prime RSA presented in ``Remarks on the cryptanalysis of common prime RSA for IoT constrained low power devices'' [Information Sciences, 538 (2020) 54--68]. To…

In this paper we present the experimental results that more clearly than any theory suggest an answer to the question: when in detection of large (probably) prime numbers to apply, a very resource demanding, Miller-Rabin algorithm. Or, to…

Artin's Conjecture on Primitive Roots states that a non-square nonunit integer $a$ is a primitive root modulo $p$ for the positive proportion of $p$. This conjecture remains open, but on average, there are many results due to P. J.…

In this article, we give evidence that computing Fourier coefficients of the Hecke eigenforms for composite indices is no easier than factoring integers. In particular, we show that the existence of a polynomial time algorithm that, given…

This paper proposes an alternative approach to formally establishing the correctness of the RSA public key cryptosystem. The methodology presented herein deviates slightly from conventional proofs found in existing literature. Specifically,…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with a non-zero identity, $S$ be a multiplicatively closed subset of $R$ and $M$ be a unital $R$-module. In this paper, we define a submodule $N$ of $M$ with $(N:_{R}M)\cap S=\emptyset$ to be weakly $S$-primary…

In this paper, we study a novel problem, Minimum Robust Multi-Submodular Cover for Fairness (MinRF), as follows: given a ground set $V$; $m$ monotone submodular functions $f_1,...,f_m$; $m$ thresholds $T_1,...,T_m$ and a non-negative…

This paper explores vulnerabilities in RSA cryptosystems that arise from improper prime number selection during key generation. We examine two primary attack vectors: Fermat's factorization method, which exploits RSA keys generated with…

There has been significant work recently on integer programs (IPs) $\min\{c^\top x \colon Ax\leq b,\,x\in \mathbb{Z}^n\}$ with a constraint marix $A$ with bounded subdeterminants. This is motivated by a well-known conjecture claiming that,…

When performing causal discovery, assumptions have to be made on how the true causal mechanism corresponds to the underlying joint probability distribution. These assumptions are labeled as causal razors in this work. We review numerous…

Integer factorization is a fundamental problem in algorithmic number theory and computer science. It is considered as a one way or trapdoor function in the (RSA) cryptosystem. To date, from elementary trial division to sophisticated methods…

This paper studies the robustness of observability of a linear time-invariant system under sensor failures from a computational perspective. To be precise, the problem of determining the minimum number of sensors whose removal can destroy…

We introduce a general formalism with minimal requirements under which we are able to prove the pro-modular Fontaine-Mazur conjecture. We verify it in the ordinary case using the recent construction of Breuil and Herzig.

In this paper, we obtain several new factorization results for certain classes of polynomials having integer coefficients. In doing so, we use the information about prime factorization of the value taken up by such polynomials and their…

The successive projection algorithm (SPA) has been known to work well for separable nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) problems arising in applications, such as topic extraction from documents and endmember detection in hyperspectral…

Code metrics are easy to define, but not so easy to justify. It is hard to prove that a metric is valid, i.e., that measured numerical values imply anything on the vaguely defined, yet crucial software properties such as complexity and…

To study finite-dimensional modules of the Lie superalgebras, Kac introduced the Kac-modules and divided them into typical or atypical modules according as they are simple or not. For Lambda being atypical, Hughes et al have an algorithm to…
