Grouping structures arise naturally in many statistical modeling problems. Several methods have been proposed for variable selection that respect grouping structure in variables. Examples include the group LASSO and several concave group…
In this paper, we show that Graph Isomorphism (GI) is not $\textsf{AC}^{0}$-reducible to several problems, including the Latin Square Isotopy problem, isomorphism testing of several families of Steiner designs, and isomorphism testing of…
A new robust algorithm for the numerical computation of biarcs, i.e. $G^1$ curves composed of two arcs of circle, is presented. Many algorithms exist but are based on geometric constructions, which must consider many geometrical…
We study the automorphism group of an infinite minimal shift $(X,\sigma)$ such that the complexity difference function, $p(n+1)-p(n)$, is bounded. We give some new bounds on $\mbox{Aut}(X,\sigma)/\langle \sigma \rangle$ and also study the…
Loop invariants are properties of a program loop that hold before and after each iteration of the loop. They are often employed to verify programs and ensure that algorithms consistently produce correct results during execution.…
Paratopism is a well known action of the wreath product $\mathcal{S}_n\wr\mathcal{S}_3$ on Latin squares of order $n$. A paratopism that maps a Latin square to itself is an autoparatopism of that Latin square. Let $\mathrm{Par}(n)$ denote…
We consider space-saving versions of several important operations on univariate polynomials, namely power series inversion and division, division with remainder, multi-point evaluation, and interpolation. Now-classical results show that…
In this paper, we investigate the computational complexity of isomorphism testing for finite groups and quasigroups, given by their multiplication tables. We crucially take advantage of their various decompositions to show the following: -…
In this paper we provide, first, a general symbolic algorithm for computing the symmetries of a given rational surface, based on the classical differential invariants of surfaces, i.e. Gauss curvature and mean curvature. In practice, the…
Bootstrap is a popular methodology for simulating input uncertainty. However, it can be computationally expensive when the number of samples is large. We propose a new approach called \textbf{Orthogonal Bootstrap} that reduces the number of…
In fault-tolerant quantum computation and quantum error-correction one is interested on Pauli matrices that commute with a circuit/unitary. We provide a fast algorithm that decomposes any Clifford gate as a $\textit{minimal}$ product of…
In this paper we consider the problem of testing whether two finite groups are isomorphic. Whereas the case where both groups are abelian is well understood and can be solved efficiently, very little is known about the complexity of…
In this paper we consider Tyler's robust covariance M-estimator under group symmetry constraints. We assume that the covariance matrix is invariant to the conjugation action of a unitary matrix group, referred to as group symmetry. Examples…
A finite linear space is a finite set of points and lines, where any two points lie on a unique line. Well known examples include projective planes. This project focuses on linear spaces which admit certain types of symmetries. Symmetries…
Quandles are self-distributive, right-invertible, idempotent algebras. A group with conjugation for binary operation is an example of a quandle. Given a quandle $(Q, \ast)$ and a positive integer $n$, define $a\ast_n b = (\cdots (a\ast…
There exists a bijection between the set of Latin squares of order $n$ and the set of feasible solutions of the 3-dimensional planar assignment problem ($3PAP_n$). In this paper, we prove that, given a Latin square isotopism $\Theta$, we…
The first part of the paper centers in the study of embeddability between partially commutative groups. In [KK], for a finite simplicial graph $\Gamma$, the authors introduce an infinite, locally infinite graph $\Gamma^e$, called the…
Quantum computers, with parallel computing and entanglement effects, excel in cryptography analysis and big data processing. However, they are not fully developed yet, and their performance needs further evaluation. Traditional computer…
Univariate polynomial root-finding is a classical subject, still important for modern computing. Frequently one seeks just the real roots of a polynomial with real coefficients. They can be approximated at a low computational cost if the…
