To compute solutions of sparse polynomial systems efficiently we have to exploit the structure of their Newton polytopes. While the application of polyhedral methods naturally excludes solutions with zero components, an irreducible…
As an application of universal polynomials for local and multi-singularities of maps, we revisit classical enumerative formulae of Salmon-Cayley-Zeuthen for projective surfaces and analogous formulae of Segre-(B.)Severi-Roth for projective…
We develop the relation between hyperbolic geometry and arithmetic equidistribution problems that arises from the action of arithmetic groups on real hyperbolic spaces, especially in dimension up to 5. We prove generalisations of Mertens'…
We study different extended formulations for the set $X = \{x\in\mathbb{Z}^n \mid Ax = Ax^0\}$ in order to tackle the feasibility problem for the set $X_+=X \cap \mathbb{Z}^n_+$. Here the goal is not to find an improved polyhedral…
We combine the known methods for univariate polynomial root-finding and for computations in the Frobenius matrix algebra with our novel techniques to advance numerical solution of a univariate polynomial equation, and in particular…
Solutions to a linear Diophantine system, or lattice points in a rational convex polytope, are important concepts in algebraic combinatorics and computational geometry. The enumeration problem is fundamental and has been well studied,…
For systems of polynomial equations, we study the problem of computing the Newton polytope of their eliminants. As was shown by Esterov and Khovanskii, such Newton polytopes are mixed fiber polytopes of the Newton polytopes of the input…
We explore computational aspects of maximum likelihood estimation of the mixture proportions of a nonparametric finite mixture model -- a convex optimization problem with old roots in statistics and a key member of the modern data analysis…
In this paper, we first propose a new Levenberg-Marquardt method for solving constrained (and not necessarily square) nonlinear systems. Basically, the method combines the unconstrained Levenberg-Marquardt method with a type of feasible…
We investigate the properties of the simultaneous projection method as applied to countably infinitely many closed and linear subspaces of a real Hilbert space. We establish the optimal error bound for linear convergence of this method,…
Computations with Barvinok's short rational generating functions are traditionally being performed in the dual space, to avoid the combinatorial complexity of inclusion--exclusion formulas for the intersecting proper faces of cones. We…
We study the generalized and extended weight enumerator of the q-ary Simplex code and the q-ary first order Reed-Muller code. For our calculations we use that these codes correspond to a projective system containing all the points in a…
We extend the algorithms of Robinson, Smyth, and McKee--Smyth to enumerate all real-rooted integer polynomials of a fixed degree, where the first few (at least three) leading coefficients are specified. Additionally, we introduce new linear…
The simplex method in Linear Programming motivates several problems of asymptotic convex geometry. We discuss some conjectures and known results in two related directions -- computing the size of projections of high dimensional polytopes…
In this article we compare the set of integer points in the homothetic copy $n\Pi$ of a lattice polytope $\Pi\subseteq\R^d$ with the set of all sums $x_1+\cdots+x_n$ with $x_1,...,x_n\in \Pi\cap\Z^d$ and $n\in\N$. We give conditions on the…
There exist efficient algorithms to project a point onto the intersection of a convex cone and an affine subspace. Those conic projections are in turn the work-horse of a range of algorithms in conic optimization, having a variety of…
The problem of finding a point in the intersection of closed sets can be solved by the method of alternating projections and its variants. It was shown in earlier papers that for convex sets, the strategy of using quadratic programming (QP)…
This paper focuses on designing a unified approach for computing the projection onto the intersection of an $\ell_1$ ball/sphere and an $\ell_2$ ball/sphere. We show that the major computational efforts of solving these problems all rely on…
Motivated by questions of Mulmuley and Stanley we investigate quasi-polynomials arising in formulas for plethysm. We demonstrate, on the examples of $S^3(S^k)$ and $S^k(S^3)$, that these need not be counting functions of inhomogeneous…
In this thesis quadratic and cubic algebras, which are extensions of SU(1,1) and SU(2) are studied in detail, with particular attention being given to their construction, their finite and infinite dimensional irreducible representations and…
