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…

The Ideal Membership Problem (IMP) tests if an input polynomial $f\in \mathbb{F}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ with coefficients from a field $\mathbb{F}$ belongs to a given ideal $I \subseteq \mathbb{F}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$. It is a well-known fundamental…

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…

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…

The main focus of this paper is on the problem of relating an ideal $I$ in the polynomial ring $\mathbb Q[x_1, \dots, x_n]$ to a corresponding ideal in $\mathbb F_p[x_1,\dots, x_n]$ where $p$ is a prime number; in other words, the…

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…

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…

A new message-passing (MP) method is considered for the matrix completion problem associated with recommender systems. We attack the problem using a (generative) factor graph model that is related to a probabilistic low-rank matrix…

Since the introduction of the Ideal Proof System (IPS) by Grochow and Pitassi (J. ACM 2018), a substantial body of work has established size lower bounds for IPS and its fragments. In particular, Forbes, Shpilka, Tzameret, and Wigderson…

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…

The subalgebra membership problem is the problem of deciding if a given element belongs to an algebra given by a set of generators. This is one of the best established computational problems in algebra. We consider a variant of this…

Given $n \geq 3$, a combinatorial object called a \textit{ pedigree } is defined using $3$-element subsets from $[n]$ obeying certain conditions. The convex hull of pedigrees is called the pedigree polytope for $n$. Pedigrees are in $1-1$…

It is well known that selecting a good Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) formulation is crucial for an effective solution with state-of-the art solvers. While best practices and guidelines for constructing good formulations abound, there is…

We introduce a problem class we call Polynomial Constraint Satisfaction Problems, or PCSP. Where the usual CSPs from computer science and optimization have real-valued score functions, and partition functions from physics have monomials,…

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…

The interval subset sum problem (ISSP) is a generalization of the well-known subset sum problem. Given a set of intervals $\left\{[a_{i,1},a_{i,2}]\right\}_{i=1}^n$ and a target integer $T,$ the ISSP is to find a set of integers, at most…

The main result of this paper is the decidability of the membership problem for $2\times 2$ nonsingular integer matrices. Namely, we will construct the first algorithm that for any nonsingular $2\times 2$ integer matrices $M_1,\dots,M_n$…
