After Strassen presented the first sub-cubic matrix multiplication algorithm, many Strassen-like algorithms are presented. Most of them with low asymptotic cost have large hidden leading coefficient which are thus impractical. To reduce the…
We show a simple local norm regularization algorithm that works with high probability. Namely, we prove that if the entries of a $n \times n$ matrix $A$ are i.i.d. symmetrically distributed and have finite second moment, it is enough to…
We study the question of whether for each n there is another integer m with lambda(m)=lambda(n), where lambda is Carmichael's function. We give a "near" proof of the fact that this is the case unconditionally, and a complete conditional…
We consider the techniques behind the current best algorithms for matrix multiplication. Our results are threefold. (1) We provide a unifying framework, showing that all known matrix multiplication running times since 1986 can be achieved…
A well-known conjecture asserts that, for any given positive real number $\lambda$ and nonnegative integer $m$, the proportion of positive integers $n \le x$ for which the interval $(n,n + \lambda\log n]$ contains exactly $m$ primes is…
Understanding the singular value spectrum of a matrix $A \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ is a fundamental task in countless applications. In matrix multiplication time, it is possible to perform a full SVD and directly compute the singular…
We use modular symmetric designs to study the existence of Hadamard matrices modulo certain primes. We solve the $7$-modular and $11$-modular versions of the Hadamard conjecture for all but a finite number of cases. In doing so, we state a…
In this paper we give a simple, short, and self-contained proof for a non-trivial upper bound on the probability that a random $\pm 1$ symmetric matrix is singular.
We calculate the probability that random polynomial matrices over a finite field with certain structures are right prime or left prime, respectively. In particular, we give an asymptotic formula for the probability that finitely many…
Suppose we have n algorithms, quantum or classical, each computing some bit-value with bounded error probability. We describe a quantum algorithm that uses O(sqrt{n}) repetitions of the base algorithms and with high probability finds the…
We show that there exists a bounded pattern of m consecutive primes for any m>0, that means a tuple H_m of m distinct non-negative integers h_i (i=1,2,...m) such that its translations contain arbitrarily long (finite) arithmetic…
We study the Lanczos algorithm where the initial vector is sampled uniformly from $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}$. Let $A$ be an $n \times n$ Hermitian matrix. We show that when run for few iterations, the output of Lanczos on $A$ is almost…
We develop a new, group-theoretic approach to bounding the exponent of matrix multiplication. There are two components to this approach: (1) identifying groups G that admit a certain type of embedding of matrix multiplication into the group…
Let $L_n(k)$ denote the least common multiple of $k$ independent random integers uniformly chosen in $\{1,2,\ldots ,n\}$. In this note, using a purely probabilistic approach, we derive a criterion for the convergence in distribution as…
We consider a continuous analogue of Babai et al.'s and Cai et al.'s problem of solving multiplicative matrix equations. Given $k+1$ square matrices $A_{1}, \ldots, A_{k}, C$, all of the same dimension, whose entries are real algebraic, we…
Understanding how crossover works is still one of the big challenges in evolutionary computation research, and making our understanding precise and proven by mathematical means might be an even bigger one. As one of few examples where…
The distribution functions of the matricvariate beta type I and II distributions are studied under real normed division algebras. The unified approach for real, complex, quaternions and octonions, also considers general properties and…
Let $A\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ be a random matrix with independent entries, and suppose that the entries are "uniformly anticoncentrated" in the sense that there is a constant $\varepsilon>0$ such that each entry $a_{ij}$ satisfies…
The communication cost of algorithms (also known as I/O-complexity) is shown to be closely related to the expansion properties of the corresponding computation graphs. We demonstrate this on Strassen's and other fast matrix multiplication…
Shift registers/Primitive polynomials find applications in various branches of Mathematics, Coding Theory and Cryptography. Matrix analogues of primitive polynomials do exist. In this paper, an algorithmic approach to generating all such…
