We consider the polynomial Ideal Membership Problem (IMP) for ideals encoding combinatorial problems that are instances of CSPs over a finite language. In this paper, the input polynomial $f$ has degree at most $d=O(1)$ (we call this…
In this paper we consider the Ideal Membership Problem (IMP for short), in which we are given real polynomials $f_0,f_1,\dots, f_k$ and the question is to decide whether $f_0$ belongs to the ideal generated by $f_1,\dots,f_k$. In the more…
Given polynomials $f_0,\dots, f_k$ the Ideal Membership Problem, IMP for short, asks if $f_0$ belongs to the ideal generated by $f_1,\dots, f_k$. In the search version of this problem the task is to find a proof of this fact. The IMP is a…
Given an ideal $I$ and a polynomial $f$ the Ideal Membership Problem is to test if $f\in I$. This problem is a fundamental algorithmic problem with important applications and notoriously intractable. We study the complexity of the Ideal…
For a tuple of $k+1$ convex polytopes $(A, B,\ldots, B)$ we solve the so-called effective membership problem, i.e. for a tuple $f=(f_1,\ldots, f_k)$ of polynomials satisfying some certain properties of generality and having Newton polytope…
Let $\mathbb{F}[X]$ be the polynomial ring over the variables $X=\{x_1,x_2, \ldots, x_n\}$. An ideal $I=\langle p_1(x_1), \ldots, p_n(x_n)\rangle$ generated by univariate polynomials $\{p_i(x_i)\}_{i=1}^n$ is a \emph{univariate ideal}. We…
We present a new approach to the ideal membership problem for polynomial rings over the integers: given polynomials $f_0,f_1,...,f_n\in\Z[X]$, where $X=(X_1,...,X_N)$ is an $N$-tuple of indeterminates, are there $g_1,...,g_n\in\Z[X]$ such…
In this paper we study the (Bichromatic) Maximum Inner Product Problem (Max-IP), in which we are given sets $A$ and $B$ of vectors, and the goal is to find $a \in A$ and $b \in B$ maximizing inner product $a \cdot b$. Max-IP is very basic…
A Boolean constraint satisfaction instance is a conjunction of constraint applications, where the allowed constraints are drawn from a fixed set B of Boolean functions. We consider the problem of determining whether two given constraint…
In the classic Integer Programming (IP) problem, the objective is to decide whether, for a given $m \times n$ matrix $A$ and an $m$-vector $b=(b_1,\dots, b_m)$, there is a non-negative integer $n$-vector $x$ such that $Ax=b$. Solving (IP)…
In this paper we combine an infeasible Interior Point Method (IPM) with the Proximal Method of Multipliers (PMM). The resulting algorithm (IP-PMM) is interpreted as a primal-dual regularized IPM, suitable for solving linearly constrained…
We investigate the complexity of the Boolean clone membership problem (CMP): given a set of Boolean functions $F$ and a Boolean function $f$, determine if $f$ is in the clone generated by $F$, i.e., if it can be expressed by a circuit with…
Intrusive uncertainty quantification methods for hyperbolic problems exhibit spurious oscillations at shocks, which leads to a significant reduction of the overall approximation quality. Furthermore, a challenging task is to preserve…
In 1978, Schaefer proved his famous dichotomy theorem for generalized satisfiability problems. He defined an infinite number of propositional satisfiability problems (nowadays usually called Boolean constraint satisfaction problems) and…
We study integer linear programs (ILP) of the form $\min\{c^\top x\ \vert\ Ax=b,l\le x\le u,x\in\mathbb Z^n\}$ and analyze their parameterized complexity with respect to their distance to the generalized matching problem, following the…
Set-membership estimation is usually formulated in the context of set-valued calculus and no probabilistic calculations are necessary. In this paper, we show that set-membership estimation can be equivalently formulated in the probabilistic…
Information bottleneck (IB) and privacy funnel (PF) are two closely related optimization problems which have found applications in machine learning, design of privacy algorithms, capacity problems (e.g., Mrs. Gerber's Lemma), strong data…
The generalized moment problem (GMP) is an infinite dimensional linear problem over the cone of finite nonnegative Borel measures. When a GMP instance involves finitely many polynomial moment constraints, moment/sum-of-squares hierarchies…
We study a family of matroid optimization problems with a linear constraint (MOL). In these problems, we seek a subset of elements which optimizes (i.e., maximizes or minimizes) a linear objective function subject to (i) a matroid…
A cofactor representation of an ideal element, that is, a representation in terms of the generators, can be considered as a certificate for ideal membership. Such a representation is typically not unique, and some can be a lot more…
