We revisit two NP-hard geometric partitioning problems - convex decomposition and surface approximation. Building on recent developments in geometric separators, we present quasi-polynomial time algorithms for these problems with improved…
Graph partitioning is a key fundamental problem in the area of big graph computation. Previous works do not consider the practical requirements when optimizing the big data analysis in real applications. In this paper, motivated by…
We investigate questions related to the set $\mathcal{SEP}_d$ consisting of the linear maps $\rho$ acting on $\mathbb{C}^d\otimes \mathbb{C}^d$ that can be written as a convex combination of rank one matrices of the form $xx^*\otimes yy^*$.…
Non-point spatial objects (e.g., polygons, linestrings, etc.) are ubiquitous. We study the problem of indexing non-point objects in memory for range queries and spatial intersection joins. We propose a secondary partitioning technique for…
Zero-free based algorithm is a major technique for deterministic approximate counting. In Barvinok's original framework[Bar17], by calculating truncated Taylor expansions, a quasi-polynomial time algorithm was given for estimating zero-free…
Enumeration kernelization was first proposed by Creignou et al. [TOCS 2017] and was later refined by Golovach et al. [JCSS 2022] into two different variants: fully-polynomial enumeration kernelization and polynomial-delay enumeration…
In this paper we study the problem of deciding whether two disjoint semialgebraic sets of an algebraic variety over R are separable by a polynomial. For that we isolate a dense subfamily of Spaces of Orderings, named Geometric, which…
We construct a family of root-finding algorithms which exploit the branched covering structure of a polynomial of degree $d$ with a path-lifting algorithm for finding individual roots. In particular, the family includes an algorithm that…
Given a set of numbers, the balanced partioning problem is to divide them into two subsets, so that the sum of the numbers in each subset are as nearly equal as possible, subject to the constraint that the cardinalities of the subsets be…
Schubert polynomials were discovered by A. Lascoux and M. Sch\"utzenberger in the study of cohomology rings of flag manifolds in 1980's. These polynomials generalize Schur polynomials, and form a linear basis of multivariate polynomials. In…
It is known that point searching in basic semialgebraic sets and the search for globally minimal points in polynomial optimization tasks can be carried out using $(s\,d)^{O(n)}$ arithmetic operations, where $n$ and $s$ are the numbers of…
Gradient-based (a.k.a. `first order') optimization algorithms are routinely used to solve large scale non-convex problems. Yet, it is generally hard to predict their effectiveness. In order to gain insight into this question, we revisit the…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote the finite field of $q$ elements with characteristic $p$. Let $\mathbb{Z}_q$ denote the unramified extension of the $p$-adic integers $\mathbb{Z}_p$ with residue field $\mathbb{F}_q$. In this paper, we investigate…
Many results in mass partitions are proved by lifting $\mathbb{R}^d$ to a higher-dimensional space and dividing the higher-dimensional space into pieces. We extend such methods to use lifting arguments to polyhedral surfaces. Among other…
In this article we provide an experimental algorithm that in many cases gives us an upper bound of the global infimum of a real polynomial on $\R^{n}$. It is very well known that to find the global infimum of a real polynomial on $\R^{n}$,…
Faceted navigation is a very useful component in today's search engines. It is especially useful when user has an exploratory information need or prefer certain attribute values than others. Existing work has tried to optimize faceted…
The notions of cutwidth and pathwidth of digraphs play a central role in the containment theory for tournaments, or more generally semi-complete digraphs, developed in a recent series of papers by Chudnovsky, Fradkin, Kim, Scott, and…
Polynomial factorization and root finding are among the most standard themes of computational mathematics. Yet still, little has been done for polynomials over quaternion algebras, with the single exception of Hamiltonian quaternions for…
Using equidistribution criteria, we establish divisibility by cyclotomic polynomials of several partition polynomials of interest, including $spt$-crank, overpartition pairs, and $t$-core partitions. As corollaries, we obtain new proofs of…
In $d$-dimensional space (over any field), given a set of lines, a joint is a point passed through by $d$ lines not all lying in some hyperplane. The joints problem asks to determine the maximum number of joints formed by $L$ lines, and it…
