We prove the \textbf{NP}-hardness, using Karp reductions, of some problems related to the correlation polytope and its corresponding cone, spanned by all of the $n\times n$ rank-one matrices over $\{0,1\}$. The problems are: membership,…

In [Mulmuley, 1987], Mulmuley gave an algorithm reducing the computation of the matrix rank function to that of determinants, of which the proof for the verification is elementary. In this article, we formalize this argument in the bounded…

An n\times n matrix M is called a fooling-set matrix of size n, if its diagonal entries are nonzero, whereas for every k\ne \ell we have M_{k,\ell} M_{\ell,k} = 0. Dietzfelbinger, Hromkovi\v{c}, and Schnitger (1996) showed that n \le (\rk…

The application of binary matrices are numerous. Representing a matrix as a mixture of a small collection of latent vectors via low-rank decomposition is often seen as an advantageous method to interpret and analyze data. In this work, we…

We consider the problem of linearizing a pseudo-Boolean function $f : \{0,1\}^n \to \mathbb{R}$ by means of $k$ Boolean functions. Such a linearization yields an integer linear programming formulation with only $k$ auxiliary variables. This…

We compute the Frobenius complexity for the determinantal ring of prime characteristic $p$ obtained by modding out the $2 \times 2$ minors of an $m \times n$ matrix of indeterminates, where $m > n \ge 2$. We also show that, as $p \to…

For a Boolean function $\Phi\colon\{0,1\}^d\to\{0,1\}$ and an assignment to its variables $\mathbf{x}=(x_1, x_2, \dots, x_d)$ we consider the problem of finding the subsets of the variables that are sufficient to determine the function…
