A system of linear equations is normally understood as a linear mapping between two vector spaces. However, most direct solutions (e.g., QR, LU, ...) rely on the inelegant approach of back-substitution: a significant departure from such a…

Multiobjective discrete programming is a well-known family of optimization problems with a large spectrum of applications. The linear case has been tackled by many authors during the last years. However, the polynomial case has not been…
We address the problem of finding sets of integers of a given size with a maximum number of pairs summing to powers of $2$. By fixing particular pairs, this problem reduces to finding a labeling of the vertices of a given graph with…

This paper deals with simultaneously fast and in-place algorithms for formulae where the result has to be linearly accumulated: some output variables are also input variables, linked by a linear dependency. Fundamental examples include the…
We solve the problem of characterizing the existence of a polynomial matrix of fixed degree when its eigenstructure (or part of it) and some of its rows (columns) are prescribed. More specifically, we present a solution to the row (column)…
In this manuscript we provide an exact solution to the maxmin problem max ||Ax|| subject to ||Bx||<= 1, where A and B are real matrices. This problem comes from a remodeling of max ||Ax|| subject to min ||Bx||, because the latter problem…
