M-convex functions, which are a generalization of valuated matroids, play a central role in discrete convex analysis. Quadratic M-convex functions constitute a basic and important subclass of M-convex functions, which has a close…
We present a polynomial time algorithm to approximately scale tensors of any format to arbitrary prescribed marginals (whenever possible). This unifies and generalizes a sequence of past works on matrix, operator and tensor scaling. Our…
Tightness is a generalisation of the notion of convexity: a space is tight if and only if it is "as convex as possible", given its topological constraints. For a simplicial complex, deciding tightness has a straightforward exponential time…
We introduce an NP-complete graph decision problem, the "Multi-stage graph Simple Path" (abbr. MSP) problem, which focuses on determining the existence of specific "global paths" in a graph $G$. We show that the MSP problem can be solved in…

In this paper, we introduce a so-called Multistage graph Simple Path (MSP) problem and show that the Hamilton Circuit (HC) problem can be polynomially reducible to the MSP problem. To solve the MSP problem, we propose a polynomial algorithm…

It is known that the multiplication of an $N \times M$ matrix with an $M \times P$ matrix can be performed using fewer multiplications than what the naive $NMP$ approach suggests. The most famous instance of this is Strassen's algorithm for…
The multiparameter matrix pencil problem (MPP) is a generalization of the one-parameter MPP: given a set of $m\times n$ complex matrices $A_0,\ldots, A_r$, with $m\ge n+r-1$, it is required to find all complex scalars…
We study the computability of the operator norm of a matrix with respect to norms induced by linear operators. Our findings reveal that this problem can be solved exactly in polynomial time in certain situations, and we discuss how it can…
Two matrices are said to be principal minor equivalent if they have equal corresponding principal minors of all orders. We give a characterization of principal minor equivalence and a deterministic polynomial time algorithm to check if two…
Let $P$ and $Q$ be simple polygons with $n$ vertices each. We wish to compute triangulations of $P$ and $Q$ that are combinatorially equivalent, if they exist. We consider two versions of the problem: if a triangulation of $P$ is given, we…
Many real-world problems rely on finding eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix. The power iteration algorithm is a simple method for determining the largest eigenvalue and associated eigenvector of a general matrix. This algorithm relies…

It is well known that the class of transversal matroids is not closed under contraction or duality. In particular, after contracting a set of elements from a transversal matroid, the resulting matroid may or may not be transversal, and the…
