We present algorithms to compute the topology of 2D and 3D hyperelliptic curves. The algorithms are based on the fact that 2D and 3D hyperelliptic curves can be seen as the image of a planar curve (the Weierstrass form of the curve), whose…

We describe an efficient algorithm to compute finite type invariants of type $k$ by first creating, for a given knot $K$ with $n$ crossings, a look-up table for all subdiagrams of $K$ of size $\lceil \frac{k}{2}\rceil$ indexed by dyadic…

Topological invariants play a key role in the characterization of topological states. Due to the existence of exceptional points, it is a great challenge to detect topological invariants in non-Hermitian systems. We put forward a dynamic…

An action of a group on a vector space partitions the latter into a set of orbits. We consider three natural and useful algorithmic "isomorphism" or "classification" problems, namely, orbit equality, orbit closure intersection, and orbit…

This paper presents a new O(nlog(n)) algorithm for computing the convex hull of a set of 3 dimensional points. The algorithm first sorts the point in (x,y,z) then incrementally adds sorted points to the convex hull using the constraint that…
