Consider a system of $m$ polynomial equations $\{p_i(x) = b_i\}_{i \leq m}$ of degree $D\geq 2$ in $n$-dimensional variable $x \in \mathbb{R}^n$ such that each coefficient of every $p_i$ and $b_i$s are chosen at random and independently…

The problem of finding a nontrivial factor of a polynomial f(x) over a finite field F_q has many known efficient, but randomized, algorithms. The deterministic complexity of this problem is a famous open question even assuming the…

Let $A$ be an $n\times n$ random matrix whose entries are i.i.d. with mean $0$ and variance $1$. We present a deterministic polynomial time algorithm which, with probability at least $1-2\exp(-\Omega(\epsilon n))$ in the choice of $A$,…

As it follows from G\"odel's incompleteness theorems, any consistent formal system of axioms and rules of inference should imply a true unprovable statement. Actually, this fundamental principle can be efficiently applicable in…

We describe, for the first time, a completely rigorous homotopy (path--following) algorithm (in the Turing machine model) to find approximate zeros of systems of polynomial equations. If the coordinates of the input systems and the initial…

The celebrated result of Kabanets and Impagliazzo (Computational Complexity, 2004) showed that PIT algorithms imply circuit lower bounds, and vice versa. Since then it has been a major challenge to understand the precise connections between…

We prove that unless P=NP, there exists no polynomial time (or even pseudo-polynomial time) algorithm that can test whether the optimal value of a nonlinear optimization problem where the objective and constraints are given by low-degree…

The Sum-of-Squares (SoS) hierarchy, also known as Lasserre hierarchy, has emerged as a promising tool in optimization. However, it remains unclear whether fixed-degree SoS proofs can be automated [O'Donnell (2017)]. Indeed, there are…

The nonvanishing problem asks if a coefficient of a polynomial is nonzero. Many families of polynomials in algebraic combinatorics admit combinatorial counting rules and simultaneously enjoy having saturated Newton polytopes (SNP). Thereby,…

Renormalized homotopy continuation on toric varieties is introduced as a tool for solving sparse systems of polynomial equations, or sparse systems of exponential sums. The cost of continuation depends on a renormalized condition length,…

We present a polynomial-time algorithm minimising the number of states of history-deterministic generalised coB\"uchi automata, building on the work of Abu Radi and Kupferman on coB\"uchi automata. On the other hand, we establish that the…

We study the average-case version of the Orthogonal Vectors problem, in which one is given as input $n$ vectors from $\{0,1\}^d$ which are chosen randomly so that each coordinate is $1$ independently with probability $p$. Kane and Williams…

Given a set $Z$ of $n$ positive integers and a target value $t$, the Subset Sum problem asks whether any subset of $Z$ sums to $t$. A textbook pseudopolynomial time algorithm by Bellman from 1957 solves Subset Sum in time $O(nt)$. This has…
