In this article we provide an experimental algorithm that in many cases gives us an upper bound of the global infimum of a real polynomial on $\R^{n}$. It is very well known that to find the global infimum of a real polynomial on $\R^{n}$,…

We show that unless P=NP, there exists no polynomial time (or even pseudo-polynomial time) algorithm that can decide whether a multivariate polynomial of degree four (or higher even degree) is globally convex. This solves a problem that has…

It is shown that any two clauses in an instance of 3SAT sharing the same terminal which is positive in one clause and negated in the other can imply a new clause composed of the remaining terms from both clauses. Clauses can also imply…

Given two convex polygons $P$ and $Q$ with $n$ and $m$ edges, the maximum overlap problem is to find a translation of $P$ that maximizes the area of its intersection with $Q$. We give the first randomized algorithm for this problem with…

We introduce a concept of efficiency for which we can prove that it applies to all paddable languages, but still does not conflict with potential worst case intractability. Note that the family of paddable languages apparently includes all…

Solving linear systems of equations is a common problem that arises both on its own and as a subroutine in more complex problems: given a matrix A and a vector b, find a vector x such that Ax=b. We consider the case where one doesn't need…
