We describe an algorithm to compute the essentially different factorizations of a given image primitive integer-valued polynomial $f(X)=g(X)/d\in\Q[X]$, where $g\in\Z[X]$ and $d\in\N$ is square-free, assuming that the factorization of…
We explain how to use computer experiments over finite fields to gain heuristic information about the solution set of polynomial equations in characteristic zero. These are notes of a tutorial I gave at the NATO Advanced Study Institute on…
We develop a practical algorithm to decide whether a finitely generated subgroup of a solvable algebraic group $G$ is arithmetic. This incorporates a procedure to compute a generating set of an arithmetic subgroup of $G$. We also provide a…
Consider complex semisimple Lie algebras of a given dimension specified by their structure constants. We describe a finite collection of rational functions in the structure constants that form a complete set of invariants: two sets of…
We propose a generalization of the factorization method to the case when $\mathcal{G}$ is a finite dimensional Lie algebra such that $\mathcal{G}=\mathcal{G}_0\oplus M \oplus N$ (direct sum of vector spaces), where $\mathcal{G}_0$ is a…
Image segmentation is a popular area of research in computer vision that has many applications in automated image processing. A recent technique called piecewise flat embeddings (PFE) has been proposed for use in image segmentation; PFE…
Motivated by the need for efficient isomorphism tests for finite groups, we present a polynomial-time method for deciding isomorphism within a class of groups that is well-suited to studying local properties of general finite groups. We…
We study the degree of irreducible morphisms in any Auslander-Reiten component of a finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field. We give a characterization for an irreducible morphism to have finite left (or right) degree.…
We relate the graph isomorphism problem to the solvability of certain systems of linear equations with nonnegative variables. This version replaces the two previous versions of this paper.
In this paper we will look at the connection of frames and finite dimensionality. A main focus is to present simple algorithms and make them available online. The main result is a way to 'switch' between different frames, giving an…
We propose an algebraic geometry framework for the Kakeya problem. We conjecture that for any polynomials $f,g\in\F_{q_0}[x,y]$ and any $\F_q/\F_{q_0}$, the image of the map $\F_q^3\to\F_q^3$ given by $(s,x,y)\mapsto…
In this paper, we prove that every iterative differential embedding problem over an algebraic function field in positive characteristic with an algebraically closed field of constants has a proper solution.
This work deals with the definability problem by quantifier-free first-order formulas over a finite algebraic structure. We show the problem to be coNP-complete and present two decision algorithms based on a semantical characterization of…
The mod-p cohomology ring of a non-trivial finite p-group is an infinite dimensional, finitely presented graded unital algebra over the field with p elements, with generators in positive degrees. We describe an effective algorithm to test…
We consider a generalization of polynomial programs: algebraic programs, which are optimization or feasibility problems with algebraic objectives or constraints. Algebraic functions are defined as zeros of multivariate polynomials. They are…
We construct and study finitely presented groups with quadratic Dehn function (QD-groups) and present the following applications of the method developed in our recent papers. (1) The isomorphism problem is undecidable in the class of…
To solve hard problems, AI relies on a variety of disciplines such as logic, probabilistic reasoning, machine learning and mathematical programming. Although it is widely accepted that solving real-world problems requires an integration…
In this paper we consider a family of algorithms for approximate implicitization of rational parametric curves and surfaces. The main approximation tool in all of the approaches is the singular value decomposition, and they are therefore…
Let f be an arbitrary positive integer valued function. The goal of this note is to show that one can construct a finitely generated group in which the discrete log problem is polynomially equivalent to computing the function f. In…
In this short note, we give a new sufficient condition for a linear map from a product of copies of a field to endomorphisms of a finite dimensional vector space over the same field to be an algebra homomorphism. We expect that this result…
