A polyomino is a polygonal region with axis parallel edges and corners of integral coordinates, which may have holes. In this paper, we consider planar tiling and packing problems with polyomino pieces and a polyomino container $P$. We give…
In this work we investigate how to extract alternating time bounds from 'focussed' proof systems. Our main result is the obtention of fragments of MALLw (MALL with weakening) complete for each level of the polynomial hierarchy. In one…
Let $P$ and $Q$ be two simple polygons in the plane of total complexity $n$, each of which can be decomposed into at most $k$ convex parts. We present an $(1-\varepsilon)$-approximation algorithm, for finding the translation of $Q$, which…
We present an algorithm for computing a maximum agreement subtree of two unrooted evolutionary trees. It takes O(n^{1.5} log n) time for trees with unbounded degrees, matching the best known time complexity for the rooted case. Our…
We find the Stratonovich-Weyl quantizer for the nonunimodular affine group of the line. A noncommutative product of functions on the half-plane, underlying a noncompact spectral triple in the sense of Connes, is obtained from it. The…
We consider a matching problem in a bipartite graph $G$ where every vertex has a capacity and a strict preference order on its neighbors. Furthermore, there is a cost function on the edge set. We assume $G$ admits a perfect matching, i.e.,…
To compute solutions of sparse polynomial systems efficiently we have to exploit the structure of their Newton polytopes. While the application of polyhedral methods naturally excludes solutions with zero components, an irreducible…
Given an affine algebra $R=K[x_1,\dots,x_n]/I$ over a field $K$, where $I$ is an ideal in the polynomial ring $P=K[x_1,\dots,x_n]$, we examine the task of effectively calculating re-embeddings of $I$, i.e., of presentations $R=P'/I'$ such…
We overcome the barrier of constructing N=4 superconformal models in one space dimension for more than three particles. The D(2,1;alpha) superalgebra of our systems is realized on the coordinates and momenta of the particles, their…
Motivated by applications to crystalline materials, we generalize the merge tree and the related barcode of a filtered complex to the periodic setting in Euclidean space. They are invariant under isometries, changing bases, and indeed…
Spatial sound field interpolation relies on suitable models to both conform to available measurements and predict the sound field in the domain of interest. A suitable model can be difficult to determine when the spatial domain of interest…
Consider a sparse multivariate polynomial f with integer coefficients. Assume that f is represented as a "modular black box polynomial", e.g. via an algorithm to evaluate f at arbitrary integer points, modulo arbitrary positive integers.…
Fast algorithms for arithmetic on real or complex polynomials are well-known and have proven to be not only asymptotically efficient but also very practical. Based on Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), they for instance multiply two polynomials…
Subspace clustering methods based on expressing each data point as a linear combination of other data points have achieved great success in computer vision applications such as motion segmentation, face and digit clustering. In face…
The problem to compute the vertices of a polytope given by affine inequalities is called vertex enumeration. The inverse problem, which is equivalent by polarity, is called the convex hull problem. We introduce `approximate vertex…
The Permutation Pattern Matching problem, asking whether a pattern permutation $\pi$ is contained in a permutation $\tau$, is known to be NP-complete. In this paper we present two polynomial time algorithms for special cases. The first…
We present an algorithm for an efficient calculation of the fusion rules of twisted representations of untwisted affine Lie algebras. These fusion rules appear in WZW orbifold theories and as annulus coefficients in boundary WZW theories;…
We introduce an image based algorithmic tool for analyzing multi-component shapes here. Due to the generic concept of multi-component shapes, our method can be applied to the analysis of a wide spectrum of applications where real objects…
We study the problem of reconfiguring odd matchings, that is, matchings that cover all but a single vertex. Our reconfiguration operation is a so-called flip where the unmatched vertex of the first matching gets matched, while consequently…
We will describe some results regarding the algorithmic nature of homeomorphism problems for manifolds; in particular, the following theorem. Theorem 1: Every PL or smooth simply connected manifold M^n of dimension n at least 5 can be…
