The extremal values of multivariate trigonometric polynomials are of interest in fields ranging from control theory to filter design, but finding the extremal values of such a polynomial is generally NP-Hard. In this paper, we develop…

Let $f$ be a Gaussian random field on $\mathbb{R}^d$ and let $X$ be the number of critical points of $f$ contained in a compact subset. A long-standing conjecture is that, under mild regularity and non-degeneracy conditions on $f$, the…

Loop invariants are properties of a program loop that hold before and after each iteration of the loop. They are often employed to verify programs and ensure that algorithms consistently produce correct results during execution.…

We show how to determine the $k$-th bit of Chaitin's algorithmically random real number $\Omega$ by solving $k$ instances of the halting problem. From this we then reduce the problem of determining the $k$-th bit of $\Omega$ to determining…

This paper presents an alternative proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra that has several distinct advantages. The proof is based on simple ideas involving continuity and differentiation. Visual software demonstrations can be used to…

We prove that the number of multigraphs with vertex set $\{1, \ldots, n\}$ such that every four vertices span at most nine edges is $a^{n^2 + o(n^2)}$ where $a$ is transcendental (assuming Schanuel's conjecture from number theory). This is…

In this paper we consider the problem of counting algebraic numbers $\alpha$ of fixed degree $n$ and bounded height $Q$ such that the derivative of the minimal polynomial $P_{\alpha}(x)$ of $\alpha$ is bounded, $|P_{\alpha}'(\alpha)| <…

We study the number of real critical points of a cyclotomic polynomial $\Phi_{n}(x)$, that is, the real roots of $\Phi_{n}^{\prime}(x)$. As usual, one can, without losing generality, restrict $n$ to be the product of distinct odd primes,…

We give a high precision polynomial-time approximation scheme for the supremum of any honest n-variate (n+2)-nomial with a constant term, allowing real exponents as well as real coefficients. Our complexity bounds count field operations and…

We obtain an effective analytic formula, with explicit constants, for the number of distinct irreducible factors of a polynomial $f \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$. We use an explicit version of Mertens' theorem for number fields to estimate a related…

In multiobjective optimization, the result of an optimization algorithm is a set of efficient solutions from which the decision maker selects one. It is common that not all the efficient solutions can be computed in a short time and the…

Clustering with most objective functions is NP-Hard, even to approximate well in the worst case. Recently, there has been work on exploring different notions of stability which lend structure to the problem. The notion of stability,…

We investigate the computational complexity of deciding whether a given univariate integer polynomial p(x) has a factor q(x) satisfying specific additional constraints. When the only constraint imposed on q(x) is to have a degree smaller…

Integer programs (IPs) on constraint matrices with bounded subdeterminants are conjectured to be solvable in polynomial time. We give a strongly polynomial time algorithm to solve IPs where the constraint matrix has bounded subdeterminants…

Recently a new class of continued fraction algorithms, the $(N,\alpha$)-expansions, was introduced for each $N\in\mathbb{N}$, $N\geq 2$ and $\alpha \in (0,\sqrt{N}-1]$. Each of these continued fraction algorithms has only finitely many…

We establish the existence of infinitely many \emph{polynomial} progressions in the primes; more precisely, given any integer-valued polynomials $P_1, >..., P_k \in \Z[\m]$ in one unknown $\m$ with $P_1(0) = ... = P_k(0) = 0$ and any $\eps…

In this paper we propose a method that uses Lagrange multipliers and numerical algebraic geometry to find all critical points, and therefore globally solve, polynomial optimization problems. We design a polyhedral homotopy algorithm that…

Let $\sigma(n)$ denote the sum of the positive divisors of $n$. We say that $n$ is perfect if $\sigma(n) = 2 n$. Currently there are no known odd perfect numbers. It is known that if an odd perfect number exists, then it must be of the form…

We consider the problem of characterizing the extreme points of the set of analytic functions f on the bidisk with positive real part and f(0)=1. If one restricts to those f whose Cayley transform is a rational inner function, one gets a…
