For any $\ell > 0$, we present an algorithm which takes as input a semi-algebraic set, $S$, defined by $P_1 \leq 0,...,P_s \leq 0$, where each $P_i \in \R[X_1,...,X_k]$ has degree $\leq 2,$ and computes the top $\ell$ Betti numbers of $S$,…
We analyze the complexity of fitting a variety, coming from a class of varieties, to a configuration of points in $\Bbb C^n$. The complexity measure, called the algebraic complexity, computes the Euclidean Distance Degree (EDdegree) of a…
Network coordination - synchronising traffic signals, scheduling trains, assigning communication slots requires minimising pairwise costs across coupled systems. These problems are NP-hard yet share a common Fourier-sparse structure…
The Tribonacci sequence $\mathbb{T}$ is the fixed point of the substitution $\sigma(a,b,c)=(ab,ac,a)$. In this note, we give the explicit expressions of the numbers of distinct squares and cubes in $\mathbb{T}[1,n]$ (the prefix of…
The arithmetic complexity counts the number of algebraically independent entries in the periodic continued fraction $\theta=[b_1,\dots, b_N, \overline{a_1,\dots,a_k}]$. If $\mathscr{A}_{\theta}$ is a noncommutative torus corresponding to…
An accurate method to compute enclosures of Abelian integrals is developed. This allows for an accurate description of the phase portraits of planar polynomial systems that are perturbations of Hamiltonian systems. As an example, it is…
An alphabetic binary tree formulation applies to problems in which an outcome needs to be determined via alphabetically ordered search prior to the termination of some window of opportunity. Rather than finding a decision tree minimizing…
We study the problem of automatically computing the time complexity of concurrent object-oriented programs. To determine this complexity we use intermediate abstract descriptions that record relevant information for the time analysis (cost…
Discrete optimisation problems arise in many different areas and are studied under many different names. In many such problems the quantity to be optimised can be expressed as a sum of functions of a restricted form. Here we present a…
Here we consider an approach for fast computing the algebraic degree of Boolean functions. It combines fast computing the ANF (known as ANF transform) and thereafter the algebraic degree by using the weight-lexicographic order (WLO) of the…
A word $u$ defined over an alphabet $\mathcal{A}$ is $c$-balanced ($c\in\mathbb{N}$) if for all pairs of factors $v$, $w$ of $u$ of the same length and for all letters $a\in\mathcal{A}$, the difference between the number of letters $a$ in…
In this article, we prove that for a completely multiplicative function $f$ from $\mathbb{N}^*$ to a field $K$ such that the set $$\{p \;|\; f(p)\neq 1_K \;\mbox{and }p \mbox{ is prime}\}$$ is finite, the asymptotic subword complexity of…
We study the problem of modeling a binary operation that satisfies some algebraic requirements. We first construct a neural network architecture for Abelian group operations and derive a universal approximation property. Then, we extend it…
In this paper, we introduce a variation of the factor complexity, called the $N$-factor complexity, which allows us to characterize the complexity of sequences on an infinite alphabet. We evaluate precisely the $N$-factor complexity for the…
It is known that there are infinite words over finite alphabets with Abelian repetition threshold arbitrarily close to 1; however, the construction previously used involves huge alphabets. In this note we give a short cyclic morphism…
We compute the Frobenius number for numerical semigroups generated by the squares of three consecutive Fibonacci numbers. We achieve this by using and comparing three distinct algorithmic approaches: those developed by Ram\'irez Alfons\'in…
In combinatorics on words, the well-studied factor complexity function $\rho_{\infw{x}}$ of a sequence $\infw{x}$ over a finite alphabet counts, for every nonnegative integer $n$, the number of distinct length-$n$ factors of $\infw{x}$. In…
Constantinescu and Ilie (Bulletin of the EATCS 89, 167-170, 2006) introduced the idea of an Abelian period with head and tail of a finite word. An Abelian period is called full if both the head and the tail are empty. We present a simple…
We describe and analyze a numerical algorithm for computing the homology (Betti numbers and torsion coefficients) of semialgebraic sets given by Boolean formulas. The algorithm works in weak exponential time. This means that outside a…
The complexity of a graph is the number of its labeled spanning trees. In this work complexity is studied in settings that admit regular graphs. An exact formula is established linking complexity of the complement of a regular graph to…
