The concept of p-ordering for a prime p was introduced by Manjul Bhargava (in his PhD thesis) to develop a generalized factorial function over an arbitrary subset of integers. This notion of p-ordering provides a representation of…

We revisit the notion of root polynomials, thoroughly studied in [F. Dopico and V. Noferini, Root polynomials and their role in the theory of matrix polynomials, Linear Algebra Appl. 584:37--78, 2020] for general polynomial matrices, and…

It is widely known that the lower bound for the algorithmic complexity of square matrix multiplication resorts to at least $n^2$ arithmetic operations. The justification builds upon the following reasoning: given that there are $2 n^2$…

Suppose $A=\{a_1,\ldots,a_{n+2}\}\subset\mathbb{Z}^n$ has cardinality $n+2$, with all the coordinates of the $a_j$ having absolute value at most $d$, and the $a_j$ do not all lie in the same affine hyperplane. Suppose $F=(f_1,\ldots,f_n)$…

Quantum matrix inversion with the quantum singular value transformation (QSVT) requires a polynomial approximation to $1/x$. Several methods from the literature construct polynomials that achieve the known degree complexity…

We show that assuming the availability of the processor with variable precision arithmetic, we can compute matrix-by-matrix multiplications in $O(N^2log_2N)$ computational complexity. We replace the standard matrix-by-matrix multiplications…

We study coded distributed matrix multiplication from an approximate recovery viewpoint. We consider a system of $P$ computation nodes where each node stores $1/m$ of each multiplicand via linear encoding. Our main result shows that the…

We present an algorithm that computes the product of two n-bit integers in O(n log n (4\sqrt 2)^{log^* n}) bit operations. Previously, the best known bound was O(n log n 6^{log^* n}). We also prove that for a fixed prime p, polynomials in…
