We consider bivariate polynomials over the skew field of quaternions, where the indeterminates commute with all coefficients and with each other. We analyze existence of univariate factorizations, that is, factorizations with univariate…
Planning and learning in Partially Observable MDPs (POMDPs) are among the most challenging tasks in both the AI and Operation Research communities. Although solutions to these problems are intractable in general, there might be special…
Given a separable nonconstant polynomial $f(x)$ with integer coefficients, we consider the set $S$ consisting of the squarefree parts of all the rational values of $f(x)$, and study its behavior modulo primes. Fixing a prime $p$, we…
The problem of finding a nontrivial factor of a polynomial f(x) over a finite field F_q has many known efficient, but randomized, algorithms. The deterministic complexity of this problem is a famous open question even assuming the…
In 1855 H. J. S. Smith proved Fermat's two-square using the notion of palindromic continuants. In his paper, Smith constructed a proper representation of a prime number $p$ as a sum of two squares, given a solution of…
In this paper, we present a generic parametrization of generically zero-dimensional parametric polynomial systems. More specifically, we study the specialization properties of the Rational Univariate Representation and derive bounds on the…
Following the works by Lin et al. (Circuits Syst. Signal Process. 20(6): 601-618, 2001) and Liu et al. (Circuits Syst. Signal Process. 30(3): 553-566, 2011), we investigate how to factorize a class of multivariate polynomial matrices. The…
We study scalar multivariate non-stationary subdivision schemes with a general dilation matrix. We characterize the capability of such schemes to reproduce exponential polynomials in terms of simple algebraic conditions on their symbols.…
For a positive real $\alpha$, we can consider the additive submonoid $M$ of the real line that is generated by the nonnegative powers of $\alpha$. When $\alpha$ is transcendental, $M$ is a unique factorization monoid. However, when $\alpha$…
We study the r-th elementary symmetric polynomial in $n$ variables with 2<r<n. There are two kinds of linear transformations on the parameter space that leave this polynomial invariant: Namely, any permutation of the variables and…
Pseudo-variograms appear naturally in the context of multivariate Brown-Resnick processes, and are a useful tool for analysis and prediction of multivariate random fields. We give a necessary and sufficient criterion for a matrix-valued…
We determine the probability that a random n x n symmetric matrix over {1, 2, ... , m} has determinant divisible by m.
This paper delves into the equivalence problem of Smith forms for multivariate polynomial matrices. Generally speaking, multivariate ($n \geq 2$) polynomial matrices and their Smith forms may not be equivalent. However, under certain…
Let $M=(E,\mathcal B)$ be an $\mathbb F_q$-linear matroid; denote by ${\mathcal B}$ the family of its bases, $s(M;\alpha)=\sum_{B\in\mathcal B}\prod_{e \in B} \alpha_e$, where ${\alpha_e\in \mathbb F_q}$. According to the Kontsevich…
A theory of sufficient dimension reduction (SDR) is developed from an optimizational perspective. In our formulation of the problem, instead of dealing with raw data, we assume that our ground truth includes a mapping ${\mathbf f}: {\mathbb…
The constrained linear representability problem (CLRP) for polymatroids determines whether there exists a polymatroid that is linear over a specified field while satisfying a collection of constraints on the rank function. Using a computer…
Linear structural causal models (SCMs) are used to express and analyse the relationships between random variables. Direct causal effects are represented as directed edges and confounding factors as bidirected edges. Identifying the causal…
Here, we give an algorithm for deciding if the nonnegative rank of a matrix $M$ of dimension $m \times n$ is at most $r$ which runs in time $(nm)^{O(r^2)}$. This is the first exact algorithm that runs in time singly-exponential in $r$. This…
