Let $F := (f_1, \ldots, f_p) \colon {\Bbb R}^n \to {\Bbb R}^p$ be a polynomial map, and suppose that $S := \{x \in {\Bbb R}^n \ : \ f_i(x) \le 0, i = 1, \ldots, p\} \ne \emptyset.$ Let $d := \max_{i = 1, \ldots, p} \deg f_i$ and…

Given a family $\mathcal{F}$ of graphs, a graph is \emph{$\mathcal{F}$-subgraph-free} if it has no subgraph isomorphic to a member of $\mathcal{F}$. We present a fixed-parameter linear-time algorithm that decides whether a planar graph can…
It is shown in "SIAM J. Sci. Comput. 39 (2017):B424-B441" that free-form curves used in computer aided geometric design can usually be represented as the solutions of linear differential systems and points and derivatives on the curves can…
We develop algorithms for writing a polynomial as sums of powers of low degree polynomials. Consider an $n$-variate degree-$d$ polynomial $f$ which can be written as $$f = c_1Q_1^{m} + \ldots + c_s Q_s^{m},$$ where each $c_i\in…

We provide a remarkably simple algorithm to compute all (at most four) common tangents of two disjoint simple polygons. Given each polygon as a read-only array of its corners in cyclic order, the algorithm runs in linear time and constant…
We present efficient algorithms for detecting central and mirror symmetry for the case of algebraic curves defined by means of polynomial parametrizations. The algorithms are based on the existence of a linear relationship between two…
In order to verify programs or hybrid systems, one often needs to prove that certain formulas are unsatisfiable. In this paper, we consider conjunctions of polynomial inequalities over the reals. Classical algorithms for deciding these not…
Triangular decomposition with different properties has been used for various types of problem solving, e.g. geometry theorem proving, real solution isolation of zero-dimensional polynomial systems, etc. In this paper, the concepts of strong…

We consider the concept of a local set of inference rules. A local rule set can be automatically transformed into a rule set for which bottom-up evaluation terminates in polynomial time. The local-rule-set transformation gives…

General factors are a generalization of matchings. Given a graph $G$ with a set $\pi(v)$ of feasible degrees, called a degree constraint, for each vertex $v$ of $G$, the general factor problem is to find a (spanning) subgraph $F$ of $G$…
