This paper describes the systematic application of local topological methods for detecting interfaces and related anomalies in complicated high-dimensional data. By examining the topology of small regions around each point, one can…
We consider the problem of provably finding a stationary point of a smooth function to be minimized on the variety of bounded-rank matrices. This turns out to be unexpectedly delicate. We trace the difficulty back to a geometric obstacle:…
In this talk, I will discuss the use of harmonic functions to study the geometry and topology of complete manifolds. In my previous joint work with Luen-fai Tam, we discovered that the number of infinities of a complete manifold can be…
We solve two continuous extremal problems on the classes of monotone functions: in the first problem we find extremal values for a line integral of a coordinate-wise monotone function of two variables from a rearrange\-ment-invariant class…
We show the existence of polynomial maps which have a regular bifurcation value, while over a neighbourhood of this value the fibres are connected and diffeomorphic.
Let g:X -> Y be a smooth (i.e. C^\infty differentiable) map between two smooth manifolds. In analogy with the case of complex polynomial functions, we say that y_0 in Y is a typical value of g if there exists an open neighbourhood U of y_0…
We consider the notions of (i) critical points, (ii) second-order points, (iii) local minima, and (iv) strict local minima for multivariate polynomials. For each type of point, and as a function of the degree of the polynomial, we study the…
In this article we use a method of finding the index of a complex-valued function by determined number of arithmetic operations to describe an algorithm of localization of roots of square-free polynomials. We give an estimation of the…
We give a simple algorithm that determines whether a given post-critically finite topological polynomial is Thurston equivalent to a polynomial. If it is, the algorithm produces the Hubbard tree; otherwise, the algorithm produces the…
In this paper, we adapt the two topological numbers, which have been proposed to efficiently characterize simple points in specific neighborhoods for 3D binary images, to the case of 2D binary images. Unlike the 3D case, we only use a…
The local multiplicities of the Maxwell sets in the spaces of versal deformations of Pham holomorphic function singularities are calculated. A similar calculation for some other bifurcation sets (generalized Stokes' sets) defined by more…
We study the asymptotic behavior of the number of paths of length $N$ on several classes of infinite graphs with a single special vertex. This vertex can work as an entropic trap for the path, i.e. under certain conditions the dominant part…
We describe efficient algorithms to search for cases in which binomial coefficients are equal or almost equal, give a conjecturally complete list of all cases where two binomial coefficients differ by 1, and give some identities for…
We present a new probabilistic algorithm to find a finite set of points intersecting the closure of each connected component of the realization of every sign condition over a family of real polynomials defining regular hypersurfaces that…
In this paper we describe the well studied process of renormalization of quadratic polynomials from the point of view of their natural extensions. In particular, we describe the topology of the inverse limit of infinitely renormalizable…
We give an upper bound on the topological complexity of varieties $\mathcal{V}$ obtained as complements in $\mathbb{C}^m$ of the zero locus of a polynomial. As an application, we determine the topological complexity of unordered…
Maximum bipartite matching is a fundamental algorithmic problem which can be solved in polynomial time. We consider a natural variant in which there is a separation constraint: the vertices on one side lie on a path or a grid, and two…
We describe a provably quasi-polynomial algorithm to compute discrete logarithms in the multiplicative groups of finite fields of small characteristic, that is finite fields whose characteristic is logarithmic in the order. We partially…
We propose a unifying setting for dealing with monodromically atypical intersections that goes beyond the usual Zilber-Pink conjecture. In particular we obtain a new proof of finiteness of the maximal atypical orbit closures in each stratum…
Binary classification problems can be naturally modeled as bipartite graphs, where we attempt to classify right nodes based on their left adjacencies. We consider the case of labeled bipartite graphs in which some labels and edges are not…
