We consider the Tutte polynomial of three classes of greedoids: those arising from rooted graphs, rooted digraphs and binary matrices. We establish the computational complexity of evaluating each of these polynomials at each fixed rational…

In this work, we study the relative hardness of fundamental problems with state-of-the-art word RAM algorithms that take $O(n\sqrt{\log n})$ time for instances described in $\Theta(n)$ machine words ($\Theta(n\log n)$ bits). This complexity…

Computational problems are classified into computable and uncomputable problems. If there exists an effective procedure (algorithm) to compute a problem then the problem is computable otherwise it is uncomputable. Turing machines can…

This paper presents a means with time complexity of at worst O(n^3) to compute the discrete logarithm on cyclic finite groups of integers modulo p. The algorithm makes use of reduction of the problem to that of finding the concurrent zeros…

Let $a,b\in \mathbb{N}$ be fixed and coprime such that $a>b$, and let $N$ be any number of the form $a^n\pm b^n$, $n\in\mathbb{N}$. We will generalize a result of Bostan, Gaudry and Schost and prove that we may compute the prime…

It is not hard to write a first order formula which is true for a given graph G but is false for any graph not isomorphic to G. The smallest number $(G) of nested quantifiers in a such formula can serve as a measure for the ``first order…

We present a randomized quantum algorithm for polynomial factorization over finite fields. For polynomials of degree $n$ over a finite field $\F_q$, the average-case complexity of our algorithm is an expected $O(n^{1 + o(1)} \log^{2 +…

We show that the complexity of the Lie module $\mathrm{Lie}(n)$ in characteristic $p$ is bounded above by $m$ where $p^m$ is the largest $p$-power dividing $n$ and, if $n$ is not a $p$-power, is equal to the maximum of the complexities of…

Given a set of $m$ points and a set of $n$ lines in the plane, we consider the problem of computing the faces of the arrangement of the lines that contain at least one point. In this paper, we present an $O(m^{2/3}n^{2/3}+(n+m)\log n)$ time…

We analyse and compare the complexity of several algorithms for computing modular polynomials. We show that an algorithm relying on floating point evaluation of modular functions and on interpolation, which has received little attention in…

Let $N(n)$ denote the number of isomorphism types of groups of order $n$. We consider the integers $n$ that are products of at most $4$ not necessarily distinct primes and exhibit formulas for $N(n)$ for such $n$.

We found that the actual computational time-cost of the QFT is O(n 2^n) for large n in a quantum computer using nuclear spins. The computational cost of a quantum algorithm has usually been estimated as the sum of the universal gates…

This paper bounds the computational cost of computing the Kauffman bracket of a link in terms of the crossing number of that link. Specifically, it is shown that the image of a tangle with $g$ boundary points and $n$ crossings in the…

We consider the clustering aggregation problem in which we are given a set of clusterings and want to find an aggregated clustering which minimizes the sum of mismatches to the input clusterings. In the binary case (each clustering is a…

Based on the work of Green, Tao and Ziegler, we give asymptotics when $N \to \infty$ for the number of $n \times n$ magic squares with their entries being prime numbers in $[0,N]$. For every $n \ge 3$ we give appropriate systems of linear…

For a positive integer $n$, we denote by $F(n)$ the distance from $n$ to the nearest prime number. We prove that every sufficiently large positive integer $N$ can be represented as the sum $N=n_1+n_2$, where $$ F(n_i) \geqslant (\log…

We show that the sum of a sequence of integers can be computed in linear time on a Turing machine. In particular, the most obvious algorithm for this problem, which appears to require quadratic time due to carry propagation, actually runs…

By complexity of a finite graph we mean the number of spanning trees in the graph. The aim of the present paper is to give a new approach for counting complexity $\tau(n)$ of cyclic $n$-fold coverings of a graph. We give an explicit…
