The Hamiltonian cycle problem (HCP), which is an NP-complete problem, consists of having a graph G with n nodes and m edges and finding the path that connects each node exactly once. In this paper we compare some algorithms to solve a…
In this paper we consider finite-dimensional constrained Hamiltonian systems of polynomial type. In order to compute the complete set of constraints and separate them into the first and second classes we apply the modern algorithmic methods…
We propose an algorithm for determining the irreducible polynomials over finite fields, based on the use of the companion matrix of polynomials and the generalized Jordan normal form of square matrices.
We consider the problem of classifying the dynamics of complex polynomials $f: \mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{C}$ restricted to their basins of infinity. We synthesize existing combinatorial tools --- tableaux, trees, and laminations --- into a new…
We show that top-down decision tree learning heuristics are amenable to highly efficient learnability estimation: for monotone target functions, the error of the decision tree hypothesis constructed by these heuristics can be estimated with…
This dissertation presents new results on three different themes all related to matroid polytopes. First we investigate properties of Ehrhart polynomials of matroid polytopes, independence matroid polytopes, and polymatroids. We prove that…
The major challenge in designing a discriminative learning algorithm for predicting structured data is to address the computational issues arising from the exponential size of the output space. Existing algorithms make different assumptions…
Suppose that $X$ is a bounded-degree polynomial with nonnegative coefficients on the $p$-biased discrete hypercube. Our main result gives sharp estimates on the logarithmic upper tail probability of $X$ whenever an associated extremal…
We give an algorithm to decide whether a given braid with four strings is a product of three factors which are conjugates of standard generators of the braid group. The algorithm is of polynomial time. It is based on the Garside theory. We…
The classical Matrix-Tree Theorem allows one to list the spanning trees of a graph by monomials in the expansion of the determinant of a certain matrix. We prove that in the case of three-graphs (that is, hypergraphs whose edges have…
In this paper we present a theorem concerning an equivalent statement of the Jacobian Conjecture in terms of Picard-Vessiot extensions. Our theorem completes the earlier work of T. Crespo and Z. Hajto which suggested an effective criterion…
Motivated by a historical combinatorial problem that resembles the well-known Josephus problem, we investigate circular partition algorithms and formulate problems in deterministic finite automata with practical algorithms. The historical…
The theory of holographic algorithms, which are polynomial time algorithms for certain combinatorial counting problems, yields insight into the hierarchy of complexity classes. In particular, the theory produces algebraic tests for a…
We construct new knot polynomials. Let $V$ be the standard solid torus in 3-space and let $pr$ be its standard projection onto an annulus. Let $M$ be the space of all smooth oriented knots in $V$ such that the restriction of $pr$ is an…
We realize several combinatorial Hopf algebras based on set compositions, plane trees and segmented compositions in terms of noncommutative polynomials in infinitely many variables. For each of them, we describe a trialgebra structure, an…
We give an algorithm that takes a smooth hypersurface over a number field and computes a $p$-adic approximation of the obstruction map on the Tate classes of a finite reduction. This gives an upper bound on the "middle Picard number" of the…
Automata for unordered unranked trees are relevant for defining schemas and queries for data trees in Json or Xml format. While the existing notions are well-investigated concerning expressiveness, they all lack a proper notion of…
Comparative analyses of phylogenetic trees typically require identical taxon sets, however, in practice, trees often include distinct but overlapping taxa. Pruning non-shared leaves discards phylogenetic signal, whereas tree completion can…
We show that equivalence of deterministic top-down tree-to-string transducers is decidable, thus solving a long standing open problem in formal language theory. We also present efficient algorithms for subclasses: polynomial time for total…
Algorithms for learning decision trees often include heuristic local-search operations such as (1) adjusting the threshold of a cut or (2) also exchanging the feature of that cut. We study minimizing the number of classification errors by…
