We present an algorithm to solve the Simultaneous Unitary Similarity(S.U.S) problem which is to check if there exists a Similarity transformation determined by a Unitary $U$ s.t $UA_lU^*=B_l$, $l \in \{1,...,p\}$, where $A_l$ and $B_l$ are…
Motivated by problems from compressed sensing, we determine the threshold behavior of a random $n\times d$ $\pm 1$ matrix $M_{n,d}$ with respect to the property "every $s$ columns are linearly independent". In particular, we show that for…
In this note, we provide complexity characterizations of model checking multi-pushdown systems. Multi-pushdown systems model recursive concurrent programs in which any sequential process has a finite control. We consider three standard…
The NP-complete Permutation Pattern Matching problem asks whether a permutation P (the pattern) can be matched into a permutation T (the text). A matching is an order-preserving embedding of P into T. In the Generalized Permutation Pattern…
We study the way in which the abstract structure of a small overlap monoid is reflected in, and may be algorithmically deduced from, a small overlap presentation. We show that every C(2) monoid admits an essentially canonical C(2)…
The character table of the symmetric group $S_n$, of permutations of $n$ objects, is of fundamental interest in theoretical physics, combinatorics as well as computational complexity theory. We investigate the implications of an identity,…
The multiparameter matrix pencil problem (MPP) is a generalization of the one-parameter MPP: given a set of $m\times n$ complex matrices $A_0,\ldots, A_r$, with $m\ge n+r-1$, it is required to find all complex scalars…
Continuous first-order logic is used to apply model-theoretic analysis to analytic structures (e.g. Hilbert spaces, Banach spaces, probability spaces, etc.). Classical computable model theory is used to examine the algorithmic structure of…
A continuous constraint satisfaction problem (CCSP) is a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) with an interval domain $U \subset \mathbb{R}$. We engage in a systematic study to classify CCSPs that are complete of the Existential Theory of…
Let $\{C_1, C_2, \ldots, C_m\},~m\ge2$ be a collection of $n\times n$ real symmetric matrices. The objective of the paper is to offer an algorithm that finds a common congruence matrix $R$ such that $R^TC_iR$ is real diagonal for every…
The {\em line sum optimization problem} asks for a $(0,1)$-matrix minimizing the sum of given functions evaluated at its row and column sums. We show that the {\em uniform} problem, with identical row functions and identical column…
Given an indeterminate string pattern $p$ and an indeterminate string text $t$, the problem of order-preserving pattern matching with character uncertainties ($\mu$OPPM) is to find all substrings of $t$ that satisfy one of the possible…
We continue and extend previous work on the parameterized complexity analysis of the NP-hard Stable Roommates with Ties and Incomplete Lists problem, thereby strengthening earlier results both on the side of parameterized hardness as well…
Monadic decomposibility --- the ability to determine whether a formula in a given logical theory can be decomposed into a boolean combination of monadic formulas --- is a powerful tool for devising a decision procedure for a given logical…
Let $M$ be a non-zero binary matrix with distinct rows where the rows are closed under certain logical operators. In this article, we investigate the existence of columns containing an equal or greater number of ones than zeros.…
We investigate the impact of modifying the constraining relations of a Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) instance, with a fixed template, on the set of solutions of the instance. More precisely we investigate sensitive instances: an…
Dynamical systems with a coupled cell network structure can display synchronous solutions, spectral degeneracies and anomalous bifurcation behavior. We explain these phenomena here for homogeneous networks, by showing that every homogeneous…
The parameterized complexity of a problem is considered "settled" once it has been shown to lie in FPT or to be complete for a class in the W-hierarchy or a similar parameterized hierarchy. Several natural parameterized problems have,…
We consider the problem of sparse matrix multiplication by the column row method in a distributed setting where the matrix product is not necessarily sparse. We present a surprisingly simple method for "consistent" parallel processing of…
A standard approach to solving optimistic bilevel linear programs (BLPs) is to replace the lower-level problem with its Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) optimality conditions and reformulate the resulting complementarity constraints using auxiliary…
