The polynomial partitioning method of Guth and Katz [arXiv:1011.4105] has numerous applications in discrete and computational geometry. It partitions a given $n$-point set $P\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ using the zero set $Z(f)$ of a suitable…
Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in $\R^d$. We present a linear-size data structure for answering range queries on $P$ with constant-complexity semialgebraic sets as ranges, in time close to $O(n^{1-1/d})$. It essentially matches the…
In 2015, Guth proved that for any set of $k$-dimensional bounded complexity varieties in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and for any positive integer $D$, there exists a polynomial of degree at most $D$ whose zero set divides $\mathbb{R}^d$ into open…
We give a new, systematic proof for a recent result of Larry Guth and thus also extend the result to a setting with several families of varieties: For any integer $D\geq 1$ and any collection of sets $\Gamma_1,\ldots,\Gamma_j$ of low-degree…

We provide algorithms for performing computations in generalized numerical semigroups, that is, submonoids of $\mathbb{N}^{d}$ with finite complement in $\mathbb{N}^{d}$. These semigroups are affine semigroups, which in particular implies…
It is known that point searching in basic semialgebraic sets and the search for globally minimal points in polynomial optimization tasks can be carried out using $(s\,d)^{O(n)}$ arithmetic operations, where $n$ and $s$ are the numbers of…
In this paper, we tackle the following problem: compute the gcd for several univariate polynomials with parametric coefficients. It amounts to partitioning the parameter space into ``cells'' so that the gcd has a uniform expression over…
We present a polynomial time algorithm, which solves a nonstandard Variation of the well-known PARTITION-problem: Given positive integers $n, k$ and $t$ such that $t \geq n$ and $k \cdot t = {n+1 \choose 2}$, the algorithm partitions the…
The subset sum problem (SSP) can be briefly stated as: given a target integer $E$ and a set $A$ containing $n$ positive integer $a_j$, find a subset of $A$ summing to $E$. The \textit{density} $d$ of an SSP instance is defined by the ratio…
We propose an algorithm for quickly evaluating polynomials. It pre-conditions a complex polynomial $P$ of degree $d$ in time $O(d\log d)$, with a low multiplicative constant independent of the precision. Subsequent evaluations of $P$…
