We provide a condition-based analysis of two interior-point methods for unconstrained geometric programs, a class of convex programs that arise naturally in applications including matrix scaling, matrix balancing, and entropy maximization.…

In this paper, we consider the problem of representing a multivariate polynomial as the determinant of a definite (monic) symmetric/Hermitian linear matrix polynomial (LMP). Such a polynomial is known as determinantal polynomial.…

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 $\R^{n}$,…

We study integer linear programs (ILP) of the form $\min\{c^\top x\ \vert\ Ax=b,l\le x\le u,x\in\mathbb Z^n\}$ and analyze their parameterized complexity with respect to their distance to the generalized matching problem, following the…

We exhibit an algorithm to compute the strongest polynomial (or algebraic) invariants that hold at each location of a given affine program (i.e., a program having only non-deterministic (as opposed to conditional) branching and all of whose…

Let $\K$ be a field of characteristic zero and $\Kbar$ be an algebraic closure of $\K$. Consider a sequence of polynomials$G=(g\_1,\dots,g\_s)$ in $\K[X\_1,\dots,X\_n]$, a polynomial matrix $\F=[f\_{i,j}] \in \K[X\_1,\dots,X\_n]^{p \times…

We show that, for a system of univariate polynomials given in sparse encoding, we can compute a single polynomial defining the same zero set, in time quasi-linear in the logarithm of the degree. In particular, it is possible to determine…

We show that any Algebraic Branching Program (ABP) computing the polynomial $\sum_{i = 1}^n x_i^n$ has at least $\Omega(n^2)$ vertices. This improves upon the lower bound of $\Omega(n\log n)$, which follows from the classical result of Baur…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^2$. For a given positive integer $w<n$, our objective is to find a set $C \subset P$ of points, such that $CH(P\setminus C)$ has the smallest number of vertices and $C$ has at most $n-w$ points.…

Over the last years the vertex enumeration problem of polyhedra has seen a revival in the study of metabolic networks, which increased the demand for efficient vertex enumeration algorithms for high-dimensional polyhedra given by…

We settle the computational complexity of fundamental questions related to multicriteria integer linear programs, when the dimensions of the strategy space and of the outcome space are considered fixed constants. In particular we construct:…

For an $n \times n$ matrix $M$ with entries in $\mathbb{Z}_2$ denote by $R(M)$ the minimal rank of all the matrices obtained by changing some numbers on the main diagonal of $M$. We prove that for each non-negative integer $k$ there is a…

The problem of finding the distance from a given $n \times n$ matrix polynomial of degree $k$ to the set of matrix polynomials having the elementary divisor $(\lambda-\lambda_0)^j, \, j \geqslant r,$ for a fixed scalar $\lambda_0$ and $2…

One important question in algebraic complexity is understanding the complexity of polynomial ideals (Grochow, Bulletin of EATCS 131, 2020). Andrews and Forbes (STOC 2022) studied the determinantal ideals $I^{\det}_{n,m,r}$ generated by the…

Let $d$ be a positive integer. For a finite set $X \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$, we define its integer cone as the set $\mathsf{IntCone}(X) := \{ \sum_{x \in X} \lambda_x \cdot x \mid \lambda_x \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0} \} \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$.…

We consider ILPs, where each variable corresponds to an integral point within a polytope $\mathcal{P}$, i. e., ILPs of the form $\min\{c^{\top}x\mid \sum_{p\in\mathcal P\cap \mathbb Z^d} x_p p = b, x\in\mathbb Z^{|\mathcal P\cap \mathbb…

We say a zero-one matrix $A$ avoids another zero-one matrix $P$ if no submatrix of $A$ can be transformed to $P$ by changing some ones to zeros. A fundamental problem is to study the extremal function $ex(n,P)$, the maximum number of…

Expansive polynomials (whose roots are greater than 1 in modulus) often arise in dynamical systems and other computational problems. This paper examines the expansivity gap (the gap between 1 and the smallest modulus of the roots) of these…

An integer program (IP) with a finite number of feasible solutions may have an unbounded linear programming relaxation if it contains irrational parameters, due to implicit constraints enforced by the irrational numbers. We show that those…
