We extensively describe our recently established "divide-and-conquer" semiclassical method [M. Ceotto, G. Di Liberto and R. Conte, Phys. Rev. Lett. 119, 010401 (2017)] and propose a new implementation of it to increase the accuracy of…

We consider the problem of decomposing a multivariate polynomial as the difference of two convex polynomials. We introduce algebraic techniques which reduce this task to linear, second order cone, and semidefinite programming. This allows…
Divide and Conquer (DC) is conceptually well suited to high-dimensional optimization by decomposing a problem into multiple small-scale sub-problems. However, appealing performance can be seldom observed when the sub-problems are…
Divide and Conquer is a well known algorithmic procedure for solving many kinds of problem. In this procedure, the problem is partitioned into two parts until the problem is trivially solvable. Finding the distance of the closest pair is an…
Let $\mathrm{R}$ be a real closed field, and $\mathrm{D} \subset \mathrm{R}$ an ordered domain. We describe an algorithm that given as input a polynomial $P \in \mathrm{D} [ X_{1},\ldots,X_{k} ]$, and a finite set, $\mathcal{A}= \{ p_{1},…
Divide and Conquer (D&C) is a widely used algorithmic strategy for symmetric eigenvalue decomposition. Its natural parallelism makes D&C attractive on modern multicore CPUs and GPUs, but existing eigenvalue-only routines often default to…
When building a cylindrical algebraic decomposition (CAD) savings can be made in the presence of an equational constraint (EC): an equation logically implied by a formula. The present paper is concerned with how to use multiple ECs,…
Current quantum computers can only solve optimization problems of a very limited size. For larger problems, decomposition methods are required in which the original problem is broken down into several smaller sub-problems. These are then…
