A P-matrix is a square matrix $X$ such that all principal submatrices of $X$ have positive determinant. Such matrices appear naturally in instances of the linear complementarity problem, where these are precisely the matrices for which the…

In this paper, an exact algorithm in polynomial time is developed to solve unrestricted binary quadratic programs. The computational complexity is $O\left( n^{\frac{15}{2}}\right) $, although very conservative, it is sufficient to prove…

Initiated by Mulmuley, Vazirani, and Vazirani (1987), many algebraic algorithms have been developed for matching and related problems. In this paper, we review basic facts and discuss possible improvements with the aid of fast computation…

We give efficient algorithms for finding power-sum decomposition of an input polynomial $P(x)= \sum_{i\leq m} p_i(x)^d$ with component $p_i$s. The case of linear $p_i$s is equivalent to the well-studied tensor decomposition problem while…

A generalization of recent group-theoretic matrix multiplication algorithms to an analogue of the theory of partial matrix multiplication is presented. We demonstrate that the added flexibility of this approach can in some cases improve…

Finding the inverse of a matrix is an open problem especially when it comes to engineering problems due to their complexity and running time (cost) of matrix inversion algorithms. An optimum strategy to invert a matrix is, first, to reduce…

In this paper we provide an algorithm, similar to the simplex algorithm, which determines a rational cp-factorization of a given matrix, whenever the matrix allows such a factorization. This algorithm can be used to show that every integral…

The Tensor-Train (TT) format is a highly compact low-rank representation for high-dimensional tensors. TT is particularly useful when representing approximations to the solutions of certain types of parametrized partial differential…

This paper provides effective methods for the polyhedral formulation of impartial finite combinatorial games as lattice games. Given a rational strategy for a lattice game, a polynomial time algorithm is presented to decide (i) whether a…

A subset of Q^n is called semilinear (or piecewise linear) if it is Boolean combination of linear half-spaces. We study the computational complexity of the constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) over the rationals when all the constraints…

Suppose $P$ is a symmetric convex polygon in the plane. We give a polynomial time algorithm that decides if $P$ can tile the plane by transations at some level (not necessarily at level one; this is multiple tiling). The main technical…

We consider two basic algorithmic problems concerning tuples of (skew-)symmetric matrices. The first problem asks to decide, given two tuples of (skew-)symmetric matrices $(B_1, \dots, B_m)$ and $(C_1, \dots, C_m)$, whether there exists an…

For many fundamental problems in computational topology, such as unknot recognition and $3$-sphere recognition, the existence of a polynomial-time solution remains unknown. A major algorithmic tool behind some of the best known algorithms…

In continuation to our recent work on noncommutative polynomial factorization, we consider the factorization problem for matrices of polynomials and show the following results. (1) Given as input a full rank $d\times d$ matrix $M$ whose…

We show that, by using multiplicative weights in a game-theoretic thought experiment (and an important convexity result on the composition of multiplicative weights with the relative entropy function), a symmetric bimatrix game (that is, a…

We consider the matrix completion problem where the aim is to esti-mate a large data matrix for which only a relatively small random subset of its entries is observed. Quite popular approaches to matrix completion problem are iterative…

Let $\mathbf{f}=(f\_1,\ldots,f\_m)$ and $\mathbf{g}=(g\_1,\ldots,g\_m)$ be two sets of $m\geq 1$ nonlinear polynomials over $\mathbb{K}[x\_1,\ldots,x\_n]$ ($\mathbb{K}$ being a field). We consider the computational problem of finding -- if…

In this paper, we give an algorithm that finds an epsilon-approximate solution to a mixed integer quadratic programming (MIQP) problem. The algorithm runs in polynomial time if the rank of the quadratic function and the number of integer…

Markov decision processes (MDPs) are a fundamental model in sequential decision making. Robust MDPs (RMDPs) extend this framework by allowing uncertainty in transition probabilities and optimizing against the worst-case realization of that…
