We continue research into a well-studied family of problems that ask whether the vertices of a graph can be partitioned into sets $A$ and~$B$, where $A$ is an independent set and $B$ induces a graph from some specified graph class ${\cal…
We consider two graph optimization problems called vector domination and total vector domination. In vector domination one seeks a small subset S of vertices of a graph such that any vertex outside S has a prescribed number of neighbors in…
We obtain upper bounds, independent of the ambient dimension, for the number of realizable zero-nonzero patterns and (over ordered fields) sign conditions of a finite family of polynomials $\mathcal P$ restricted to an algebraic subset $V$…
In parameterized complexity, it is a natural idea to consider different generalizations of classic problems. Usually, such generalization are obtained by introducing a "relaxation" variable, where the original problem corresponds to setting…
A system of polynomial ordinary differential equations (ODEs) is specified via a vector of multivariate polynomials, or vector field, $F$. A safety assertion $\psi\rightarrow[F]\phi$ means that the trajectory of the system will lie in a…
The domination problem and its variants represent a classical domain within algorithmic graph theory. Among these variants, the paired-domination problem holds particular prominence due to its real-world implications in security and…
We give a highly efficient "semi-agnostic" algorithm for learning univariate probability distributions that are well approximated by piecewise polynomial density functions. Let $p$ be an arbitrary distribution over an interval $I$ which is…
We study the structure of the set of all possible affine hyperplane sections of a convex polytope. We present two different cell decompositions of this set, induced by hyperplane arrangements. Using our decomposition, we bound the number of…
We show that for a number of parameterized problems for which only $2^{O(k)} n^{O(1)}$ time algorithms are known on general graphs, subexponential parameterized algorithms with running time $2^{O(k^{1-\frac{1}{1+\delta}} \log^2 k)}…
We consider the parameterized complexity of the problem of tracking shortest s-t paths in graphs, motivated by applications in security and wireless networks. Given an undirected and unweighted graph with a source s and a destination t,…

We describe an algorithm for splitting permutation representations of finite group over fields of characteristic zero into irreducible components. The algorithm is based on the fact that the components of the invariant inner product in…
One of the most basic techniques in algorithm design consists of breaking a problem into subproblems and then proceeding recursively. In the case of graph algorithms, one way to implement this approach is through separator sets. Given a…
We consider a generalized poset sorting problem (GPS), in which we are given a query graph $G = (V, E)$ and an unknown poset $\mathcal{P}(V, \prec)$ that is defined on the same vertex set $V$, and the goal is to make as few queries as…
Let $\mathbb{K}$ be an algebraically closed field, and $A \subset \mathbb{K}[x_{1}, \ldots, x_n]$ be a subalgebra of finite codimension. It is known that there exists a (not necessarily unique) finite filtration of $\mathbb{K}$-algebras \[…
Let $k$ be a fixed integer. We determine the complexity of finding a $p$-partition $(V_1, \dots, V_p)$ of the vertex set of a given digraph such that the maximum out-degree of each of the digraphs induced by $V_i$, ($1\leq i\leq p$) is at…
We obtain results on the geometry of D-semianalytic and subanalytic subsets over a complete, non-trivially valued non-Archimedean field K, which is not necessarily algebraically closed. Among the results are a parameterized smooth…
By a numerical continuation method called a diagonal homotopy we can compute the intersection of two positive dimensional solution sets of polynomial systems. This paper proposes to use this diagonal homotopy as the key step in a procedure…
We address the problem of computing a linear separating form of a system of two bivariate polynomials with integer coefficients, that is a linear combination of the variables that takes different values when evaluated at the distinct…
We present a classical algorithm that, for any $D$-dimensional geometrically-local, quantum circuit $C$ of polylogarithmic-depth, and any bit string $x \in {0,1}^n$, can compute the quantity $|<x|C|0^{\otimes n}>|^2$ to within any…
