The Sum-of-Squares (SoS) hierarchy is a powerful framework for polynomial optimization and proof complexity, offering tight semidefinite relaxations that capture many classical algorithms. Despite its broad applicability, several works have…

The paper is devoted to deriving novel second-order necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for local minimizers in rather general classes of nonsmooth unconstrained and constrained optimization problems in finite-dimensional spaces.…

We study two-dimensional subshifts whose horizontal trace (a.k.a. projective subdynamics) contains only points of finite support. Our main result is a classification result for such subshifts satisfying a minimality property. As…

Thus far, the literature regarding holographic complexity almost entirely focuses on the context of $(d+1)$-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime rather than the full higher-dimensional gauge/gravity duality in string or M theory. We provide…

Let $K\subset \mathbb{R}$ be a self-similar set generated by some iterated function system. In this paper we prove, under some assumptions, that $K$ can be identified with a subshift of finite type. With this identification, we can…

We identify a sufficient condition, treewidth-pliability, that gives a polynomial-time algorithm for an arbitrarily good approximation of the optimal value in a large class of Max-2-CSPs parameterised by the class of allowed constraint…

The $2$-adic complexity has been well-analyzed in the periodic case. However, we are not aware of any theoretical results on the $N$th $2$-adic complexity of any promising candidate for a pseudorandom sequence of finite length $N$ or…

Multi-index models - functions which only depend on the covariates through a non-linear transformation of their projection on a subspace - are a useful benchmark for investigating feature learning with neural nets. This paper examines the…

This paper settles the computational complexity of model checking of several extensions of the monadic second order (MSO) logic on two classes of graphs: graphs of bounded treewidth and graphs of bounded neighborhood diversity. A classical…

The alternate row and column scaling algorithm applied to a positive $n\times n$ matrix $A$ converges to a doubly stochastic matrix $S(A)$, sometimes called the \emph{Sinkhorn limit} of $A$. For every positive integer $n$, a two parameter…

The paper gives a characterisation of the chain relation of a sofic subshift. Every sofic subshift $\Sigma$ can be described by a labelled graph $G$. Factorising $G$ in a suitable way we obtain the graph $G/_\approx$ that offers insight…

We study the complexity of randomized computation of integrals depending on a parameter, with integrands from Sobolev spaces. That is, for $r,d_1,d_2\in{\mathbb N}$, $1\le p,q\le \infty$, $D_1= [0,1]^{d_1}$, and $D_2= [0,1]^{d_2}$ we are…

The purpose of this article is twofold. On one hand, we reveal the equivalence of shift of finite type between a one-sided shift $X$ and its associated hom tree-shift $\mathcal{T}_{X}$, as well as the equivalence in the sofic shift. On the…

We discuss two dimensional N-extended supersymmetry in Euclidean signature and its R-symmetry. For N=2, the R-symmetry is SO(2)\times SO(1,1), so that only an A-twist is possible. To formulate a B-twist, or to construct Euclidean N=2 models…
