Leivant's ramified recurrence is one of the earliest examples of an implicit characterization of the polytime functions as a subalgebra of the primitive recursive functions. Leivant's result, however, is originally stated and proved only…
In this article, we propose a geometric programming method in order to compute lower bounds for real polynomials. We provide new sufficient conditions for polynomials to be nonnegative as well as to have a sum of binomial squares…
This paper settles the computational complexity of the problem of integrating a polynomial function f over a rational simplex. We prove that the problem is NP-hard for arbitrary polynomials via a generalization of a theorem of Motzkin and…
These notes discuss the emergence of the Polyakov action from the low-energy limit of an array of relativistic particles with harmonic interactions, which is suggestive of a ``microscopic'' description of string theory.
Inspired from a joint work by A. Beckmann, S. Buss and S. Friedman, we propose a class of set-theoretic functions, predicatively computable functions. Each function in this class is polynomial time computable when we restrict to finite…
We construct non-trivial vacuum space-times with a global Scri. The construction proceeds by proving extension results across compact boundaries for initial data sets, adapting the gluing arguments of Corvino and Schoen. Another application…
Model checking timed automata becomes increasingly complex with the increase in the number of clocks. Hence it is desirable that one constructs an automaton with the minimum number of clocks possible. The problem of checking whether there…
Let $s$ be a finite sequence over a field of length $n$. It is well-known that if $s$ satisfies a linear recurrence of order $d$ with non-zero constant term, then the reverse of $s$ also satisfies a recurrence of order $d$ (with…
This paper presents algorithms for solving multiobjective integer programming problems. The algorithm uses Barvinok's rational functions of the polytope that defines the feasible region and provides as output the entire set of nondominated…
We investigate the question whether Subset Sum can be solved by a polynomial-time algorithm with access to a certificate of length poly(k) where k is the maximal number of bits in an input number. In other words, can it be solved using only…
We describe a general parameterized scheme of program and constraint analyses allowing us to specify both the program specialization method known as Turchin's supercompilation and Hmelevskii's algorithm solving the quadratic word equations.…
We study a class of combinatorial scheduling problems characterized by a particular type of constraint often associated with electrical power or gas energy. This constraint appears in several practical applications and is expressed as a sum…
We present a short and self-contained proof of the choosability version of Brooks' theorem.
In this paper we would like to present a very short (possibly the shortest) self-interpreter, based on a simplistic Turing-complete imperative language. This interpreter explicitly processes the statements of the language, which means the…
The talk contains a brief introduction string theory, followed by a discussion of some of the recent developments.
In this note we observe that membership in moment cones of spaces of quiver representations can be decided in strongly polynomial time, for any acyclic quiver. This generalizes a recent result by Chindris-Collins-Kline for bipartite…
Let $\operatorname{Con}(\mathbf T)\!\restriction\!x$ denote the finite consistency statement "there are no proofs of contradiction in $\mathbf T$ with $\leq x$ symbols". For a large class of natural theories $\mathbf T$, Pudl\'ak has shown…
The purpose of this article is to present my new proof of the the construction and the convergence theorem of spectral sequences of filtered complexes, which is much shorter and cleaner than the "standard" proof.
The Kolmogorov complexity of the word w is equal to the length of the shortest concatenation of program Z and its input x with which the word w is computed by the universal turing machine U. The question introduced in this paper is the…
In this short note we give an expression for some numbers $n$ such that the polynomial $x^{2p}-nx^p+1$ is reducible.
