Finding maximum-cardinality matchings in undirected graphs is arguably one of the most central graph primitives. For $m$-edge and $n$-vertex graphs, it is well-known to be solvable in $O(m\sqrt{n})$ time; however, for several applications…
We consider the problem of finding a basis of a matroid with weight exactly equal to a given target. Here weights can be discrete values from $\{-\Delta,\ldots,\Delta\}$ or more generally $m$-dimensional vectors of such discrete values. We…
Given an order, a commutative ring whose additive group is free of finite rank, a natural computational question is whether a fixed univariate polynomial $f \in \mathbb{Z}[X]$ has a root in this ring. In this paper, we show that the…

In this work, we study fixed point algorithms for finding a zero in the sum of $n\geq 2$ maximally monotone operators by using their resolvents. More precisely, we consider the class of such algorithms where each resolvent is evaluated only…
Randomized algorithms in numerical linear algebra can be fast, scalable and robust. This paper examines the effect of sketching on the right singular vectors corresponding to the smallest singular values of a tall-skinny matrix. We analyze…
In the total matching problem, one is given a graph $G$ with weights on the vertices and edges. The goal is to find a maximum weight set of vertices and edges that is the non-incident union of a stable set and a matching. We consider the…
We first show the existence of an effective determinantal representation for any univariate polynomial with real coefficients. Then, we more precisely establish that any univariate polynomial with real coefficients has an effective…
We use a variety of computational tools to obtain a degree-$\binom{m + n - 2}{m - 1}$ polynomial equation conjecturally satisfied by the top-left entry of the Sinkhorn limit of a positive $m \times n$ matrix. The degree of this equation has…
Let $\RR$ be a real closed field (e.g. the field of real numbers) and $\mathscr{S} \subset \RR^n$ be a semi-algebraic set defined as the set of points in $\RR^n$ satisfying a system of $s$ equalities and inequalities of multivariate…
We consider the polynomial equation $$X^n + a_{n-1}\cdot X^{n-1} + \dots + a_1 \cdot X + a_0 \cdot I = O,$$ over $(2 \times 2)$-matrices $X$ with the real entries, where $I$ is the identity matrix, $O$ is the null matrix, $a_i \in \mathbb…
In this work, the determinants of matrices constructed by evaluating homogeneous bivariate polynomials at pairs of vectors are investigated. For a polynomial $p(x,y)=\sum\limits_{i=0}^k \alpha_i x^{k-i}y^i$, an explicit factorization of the…
We introduce a new notion of the determinant, called symmetrized determinant, for a square matrix with the entries in an associative algebra $\AA$. The monomial expansion of the symmetrized determinant is obtained from the standard…
We investigate the complexity of several fundamental polynomial-time solvable problems on graphs and on matrices, when the given instance has low treewidth; in the case of matrices, we consider the treewidth of the graph formed by non-zero…
We study the problem of finding elements in the intersection of an arbitrary conic variety in $\mathbb{F}^n$ with a given linear subspace (where $\mathbb{F}$ can be the real or complex field). This problem captures a rich family of…

We consider the problem of minimizing a linear function over an affine section of the cone of positive semidefinite matrices, with the additional constraint that the feasible matrix has prescribed rank. When the rank constraint is active,…
This paper is concerned with exact real solving of well-constrained, bivariate polynomial systems. The main problem is to isolate all common real roots in rational rectangles, and to determine their intersection multiplicities. We present…
Pattern matching is a fundamental process in almost every scientific domain. The problem involves finding the positions of a given pattern (usually of short length) in a reference stream of data (usually of large length). The matching can…
