This thesis is basically devoted to matroids -- fundamental structure of combinatorial optimization -- though some of our results concern simplicial complexes, or Euclidean spaces. We study old and new problems for these structures, with…
Reversible computing models settings in which all processes can be reversed. Applications include low-power computing, quantum computing, and robotics. It is unclear how to represent side-effects in this setting, because conventional…
A novel factorization for the sum of two single-pair matrices is established as product of lower-triangular, tridiagonal, and upper-triangular matrices, leading to semi-closed-form formulas for tridiagonal matrix inversion. Subsequent…
This note deals with two topics of linear algebra. We give a simple and short proof of the multiplicative property of the determinant and provide a constructive formula for rotations. The derivation of the rotation matrix relies on simple…
We use the differential algebra of polytopes to explain the known remarkable relation of the combinatorics of the associahedra and permutohedra with the universal compositional and multiplicative inversion formulas for the formal power…
The goal of this paper is to present an algebraic approach to the basic results of the theory of linear recurrence relations. This approach is based on the ideas from the theory of representations of one endomorphisms (a special case of…
We study determinantal varieties from conditional independence models with hidden variables, focusing on their irreducible decompositions, dimensions, degrees, and Gr\"obner bases. Each variety encodes a collection of matroids, whose flats…
Understanding how systems built out of modular components can be jointly optimized is an important problem in biology, engineering, and machine learning. The backpropagation algorithm is one such solution and has been instrumental in the…
An arithmetic matroid is weakly multiplicative if the multiplicity of at least one of its bases is equal to the product of the multiplicities of its elements. We show that if such an arithmetic matroid can be represented by an integer…
We present a simple yet powerful framework for solving inverse problems by leveraging automatic differentiation. Our method is broadly applicable whenever a smooth cost function can be defined near the true solution, and a numerical…
Using standard techniques from combinatorics, model theory, and algebraic geometry, we prove generalized versions of several basic results in the theory of spectrally arbitrary matrix patterns. Also, we point out a counterexample to a…
Over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}$, the evaluation of skew polynomials is intimately related to the evaluation of linearized polynomials. This connection allows one to relate the concept of polynomial independence defined for skew…
To enable the study of open sets in computational approaches to mathematics, lots of extra data and structure on these sets is assumed. For both foundational and mathematical reasons, it is then a natural question, and the subject of this…
Kinser developed a hierarchy of inequalities dealing with the dimensions of certain spaces constructed from a given quantity of subspaces. These inequalities can be applied to the rank function of a matroid, a geometric object concerned…
The inversion problem for rational B\'ezier curves is addressed by using resultant matrices for polynomials expressed in the Bernstein basis. The aim of the work is not to construct an inversion formula but finding the corresponding value…
The matrix inversion is an interesting topic in algebra mathematics. However, to determine an inverse matrix from a given matrix is required many computation tools and time resource if the size of matrix is huge. In this paper, we have…
We introduce the notion of an online matroid embedding, which is an algorithm for mapping an unknown matroid that is revealed in an online fashion to a larger-but-known matroid. We establish the existence of such an embedding for binary…
A matroid base polytope is a polytope in which each vertex has 0,1 coordinates and each edge is parallel to a difference of two coordinate vectors. Matroid base polytopes are described combinatorially by integral submodular functions on a…
Matroid theory is often thought of as a generalization of graph theory. In this paper we propose an analogous correspondence between embedded graphs and delta-matroids. We show that delta-matroids arise as the natural extension of graphic…
The property of balance (in the sense of Feder and Mihail) is investigated in the context of paving matroids. The following examples are exhibited: (a) a class of ``sparse'' paving matroids that are balanced, but at the same time rich…
