We present a new data structure to approximate accurately and efficiently a polynomial $f$ of degree $d$ given as a list of coefficients. Its properties allow us to improve the state-of-the-art bounds on the bit complexity for the problems…

A polynomial homotopy is a family of polynomial systems, where the systems in the family depend on one parameter. If for one value of the parameter we know a regular solution, then what is the nearest value of the parameter for which the…
Let $A$ be either a complex or real matrix with all distinct eigenvalues. We propose a new method for the computation of both the unstructured and the real-structured (if the matrix is real) distance $w_{\mathbb K}(A)$ (where ${\mathbb…
Given a positive integer k, it is natural to ask for a formula for the distance between a given density matrix (i.e., mixed quantum state) and the set of density matrices of rank at most k. This problem has already been solved when…

We study the problem of approximating an unknown function $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ by a degree-$d$ polynomial using as few function evaluations as possible, where error is measured with respect to a probability distribution $\mu$.…
We propose and investigate two new methods to approximate $f({\bf A}){\bf b}$ for large, sparse, Hermitian matrices ${\bf A}$. The main idea behind both methods is to first estimate the spectral density of ${\bf A}$, and then find…
We introduce a new iterative rounding technique to round a point in a matroid polytope subject to further matroid constraints. This technique returns an independent set in one matroid with limited violations of the other ones. On top of the…
We present a general scheme for the construction of new eficient generalized Schultz iterative methods for computing the inverse matrix. These methods have the form $$ X_{k+1} = X_k(a_0^{(k)}I+a_1^{(k)}AX_k),\quad k\in\mathbb{N}, $$ where…
We consider the problem of approximating the reachable set of a discrete-time polynomial system from a semialgebraic set of initial conditions under general semialgebraic set constraints. Assuming inclusion in a given simple set like a box…
