A double partition problem asks for a number of nonnegative integer solutions to a system of two linear Diophantine equations with integer coefficients. Artur Cayley suggested a reduction of a double partition to a sum of scalar partitions…

Lattice rules and polynomial lattice rules are quadrature rules for approximating integrals over the $s$-dimensional unit cube. Since no explicit constructions of such quadrature methods are known for dimensions $s > 2$, one usually has to…
A well-studied nonlinear extension of the minimum-cost flow problem is to minimize the objective $\sum_{ij\in E} C_{ij}(f_{ij})$ over feasible flows $f$, where on every arc $ij$ of the network, $C_{ij}$ is a convex function. We give a…
The complexity of Philip Wolfe's method for the minimum Euclidean-norm point problem over a convex polytope has remained unknown since he proposed the method in 1974. The method is important because it is used as a subroutine for one of the…
In multi-objective optimization, computing the entire non-dominated set (also known as the Pareto front or the Pareto frontier) is often intractable. However, for any multiplicative factor greater than one, an approximation set can be…
We give an algorithm that finds a sequence of approximations with Dirichlet coefficients bounded by a constant only depending on the dimension. The algorithm uses the LLL-algorithm for lattice basis reduction. We present a version of the…
For large ranks, there is no good algorithm that decides whether a given lattice has an orthonormal basis. But when the lattice is given with enough symmetry, we can construct a provably deterministic polynomial-time algorithm to accomplish…
We give a fast, exact algorithm for solving Dirichlet problems with polynomial boundary functions on quadratic surfaces in R^n such as ellipsoids, elliptic cylinders, and paraboloids. To produce this algorithm, first we show that every…
MacMahon enumerated the plane partitions in an $a \times b \times c$ box. These are in bijection to lozenge tilings of a hexagon, to certain perfect matchings, and to families of non-intersecting lattice paths. In this work we consider more…
We devise a polynomial-time algorithm for partitioning a simple polygon $P$ into a minimum number of star-shaped polygons. The question of whether such an algorithm exists has been open for more than four decades [Avis and Toussaint,…
There are many space subdivision and space partitioning techniques used in many algorithms to speed up computations. They mostly rely on orthogonal space subdivision, resp. using hierarchical data structures, e.g. BSP trees, quadtrees,…
We introduce an iterative method to search for time-optimal Hamiltonians that drive a quantum system between two arbitrary, and in general mixed, quantum states. The method is based on the idea of progressively improving the efficiency of…
Time-dependent linear differential equations are a common type of problem that needs to be solved in classical physics. Here we provide a quantum algorithm for solving time-dependent linear differential equations with logarithmic dependence…
