In this paper we investigate iteration of maps on lattices and the corresponding polynomial-like iterative equation. Since a lattice need not have a metric space structure, neither the Schauder fixed point theorem nor the Banach fixed point…
We give an $O(\log^2 n)$-query algorithm for finding a Tarski fixed point over the $4$-dimensional lattice $[n]^4$, matching the $\Omega(\log^2 n)$ lower bound of [EPRY20]. Additionally, our algorithm yields an ${O(\log^{\lceil…
Dang et al. have given an algorithm that can find a Tarski fixed point in a $k$-dimensional lattice of width $n$ using $O(\log^{k} n)$ queries. Multiple authors have conjectured that this algorithm is optimal [Dang et al., Etessami et al.],…
Tarski's theorem states that every monotone function from a complete lattice to itself has a fixed point. We analyze the query complexity of finding such a fixed point on the $k$-dimensional grid of side length $n$ under the $\leq$…
We study the query complexity of finding a Tarski fixed point over the $k$-dimensional grid $\{1,\ldots,n\}^k$. Improving on the previous best upper bound of $\smash{O(\log^{\lceil 2k/3\rceil} n)}$ [FPS20], we give a new algorithm with…
Tarski's theorem states that every monotone function from a complete lattice to itself has a fixed point. We specifically consider the two-dimensional lattice $\mathcal{L}^2_n$ on points $\{1, \ldots, n\}^2$ and where $(x_1, y_1) \leq (x_2,…
The Knaster-Tarski theorem, also known as Tarski's theorem, guarantees that every monotone function defined on a complete lattice has a fixed point. We analyze the query complexity of finding such a fixed point on the $k$-dimensional grid…
For a given partially ordered set (poset) and a given family of mappings of the poset into itself, we study the problem of the description of joint fixed points of this family. Well-known Tarski's theorem gives the structure of the set of…
We present a simple new algorithm for finding a Tarski fixed point of a monotone function $F : [N]^3 \rightarrow [N]^3$. Our algorithm runs in $O(\log^2 N)$ time and makes $O(\log^2 N)$ queries to $F$, matching the $\Omega(\log^2 N)$ query…
We present an algorithm to enumerate isometry classes of integral quadratic lattices of a given rank and determinant, and analyze its running time by giving bounds on the number of genus symbols for a fixed rank and determinant. We build on…
The parametric lattice-point counting problem is as follows: Given an integer matrix $A \in Z^{m \times n}$, compute an explicit formula parameterized by $b \in R^m$ that determines the number of integer points in the polyhedron $\{x \in…
We develop fixed-point algorithms for the approximation of structured matrices with rank penalties. In particular we use these fixed-point algorithms for making approximations by sums of exponentials, or frequency estimation. For the basic…
The question of list decoding error-correcting codes over finite fields (under the Hamming metric) has been widely studied in recent years. Motivated by the similar discrete structure of linear codes and point lattices in R^N, and their…
In this short note we give incremental algorithms for the following lattice problems: finding a basis of a lattice, computing the successive minima, and determining the orthogonal decomposition. We prove an upper bound for the number of…
A well known result by Lagarias and Ziegler states that there are finitely many equivalence classes of d-dimensional lattice polytopes having volume at most K, for fixed constants d and K. We describe an algorithm for the complete…
Combinatorial problems such as combinatorial optimization and constraint satisfaction problems arise in decision-making across various fields of science and technology. In real-world applications, when multiple optimal or…
The set of nonnegative integer lattice points in a polytope, also known as the fiber of a linear map, makes an appearance in several applications including optimization and statistics. We address the problem of sampling from this set using…
For large ranks, there is no good algorithm that decides whether a given lattice has an orthonormal basis. But when the lattice is given with enough symmetry, we can construct a provably deterministic polynomial-time algorithm to accomplish…
An efficient, low-complexity, soft-output detector for general lattices is presented, based on their Tanner graph (TG) representations. Closest-point searches in lattices can be performed as non-binary belief propagation on associated TGs;…
In this article, we focus on extending the notion of lattice linearity to self-stabilizing programs. Lattice linearity allows a node to execute its actions with old information about the state of other nodes and still preserve correctness.…
