The P versus NP problem asks whether every language verifiable in polynomial time can also be decided in deterministic polynomial time. In this paper, we present a constructive proof that P = NP by introducing a universal, graph-based…
It is known that a graph isomorphism testing algorithm is polynomially equivalent to a detecting of a graph non-trivial automorphism algorithm. The polynomiality of the latter algorithm, is obtained by consideration of symmetry properties…
Here, we give an algorithm for deciding if the nonnegative rank of a matrix $M$ of dimension $m \times n$ is at most $r$ which runs in time $(nm)^{O(r^2)}$. This is the first exact algorithm that runs in time singly-exponential in $r$. This…
One of the driving problems in the CSP area is the Dichotomy Conjecture, formulated in 1993 by Feder and Vardi [STOC'93], stating that for any fixed relational structure G the Constraint Satisfaction Problem CSP(G) is either NP--complete or…
We study the problem of finding elements in the intersection of an arbitrary conic variety in $\mathbb{F}^n$ with a given linear subspace (where $\mathbb{F}$ can be the real or complex field). This problem captures a rich family of…
Recently increasing penetration of renewable energy generation brings challenges for power system operators to perform efficient power generation daily scheduling, due to the intermittent nature of the renewable generation and discrete…
This paper is our second step towards developing a theory of testing monomials in multivariate polynomials. The central question is to ask whether a polynomial represented by an arithmetic circuit has some types of monomials in its…
By considering a discrete tape where each cell corresponds to an integer, thus to a possible sum, a pseudo-polynomial solution can be given to subset sum problem, which is an NP-complete problem and a cornerstone application for this study,…
We address the computation of the degrees of minors of a noncommutative symbolic matrix of form \[ A[c] := \sum_{k=1}^m A_k t^{c_k} x_k, \] where $A_k$ are matrices over a field $\mathbb{K}$, $x_i$ are noncommutative variables, $c_k$ are…
In this paper we explore fundamental concepts in computational complexity theory and the boundaries of algorithmic decidability. We examine the relationship between complexity classes \textbf{P} and \textbf{NP}, where $L \in \textbf{P}$…
A polyomino is a polygonal region with axis parallel edges and corners of integral coordinates, which may have holes. In this paper, we consider planar tiling and packing problems with polyomino pieces and a polyomino container $P$. We give…
We prove the first unconditional consistency result for superpolynomial circuit lower bounds with a relatively strong theory of bounded arithmetic. Namely, we show that the theory V$^0_2$ is consistent with the conjecture that NEXP…
A right [left] locally testable language S is a language with the property that for some non negative integer k two words u and v in alphabet S are equal in the semi group if (1) the prefix and suffix of the words of length k coincide, (2)…
We study the noncommutative rank problem, ncRANK, of computing the rank of matrices with linear entries in $n$ noncommuting variables and the problem of noncommutative Rational Identity Testing, RIT, which is to decide if a given rational…
Tensor networks are a central tool in condensed matter physics. In this paper, we study the task of tensor network non-zero testing (TNZ): Given a tensor network T, does T represent a non-zero vector? We show that TNZ is not in the…
Celebrated work of Jerrum, Sinclair, and Vigoda has established that the permanent of a {0,1} matrix can be approximated in randomized polynomial time by using a rapidly mixing Markov chain. A separate strand of the literature has pursued…
Given a quadratic map Q : K^n -> K^k defined over a computable subring D of a real closed field K, and a polynomial p(Y_1,...,Y_k) of degree d, we consider the zero set Z=Z(p(Q(X)),K^n) of the polynomial p(Q(X_1,...,X_n)). We present a…
We show that the Skolem Problem is decidable in finitely generated commutative rings of positive characteristic. More precisely, we show that there exists an algorithm which, given a finite presentation of a (unitary) commutative ring…
The exact matching problem is a constrained variant of the maximum matching problem: given a graph with each edge having a weight $0$ or $1$ and an integer $k$, the goal is to find a perfect matching of weight exactly $k$. Mulmuley,…
We introduce and study the notion of k-divisible elements in a non-commutative probability space. A k-divisible element is a (non-commutative) random variable whose n-th moment vanishes whenever n is not a multiple of k. First, we consider…
