Let $G$ be a finite group. In order to determine the smallest cardinality $d(G)$ of a generating set of $G$ and a generating set with this cardinality, one should repeat many times the test whether a subset of $G$ of small cardinality…
Given a zero-dimensional ideal I in a polynomial ring, many computations start by finding univariate polynomials in I. Searching for a univariate polynomial in I is a particular case of considering the minimal polynomial of an element in…
We derive "numerical" criteria for the existence of embeddings of representations of finite dimensional algebras.
We analyse approximation algorithms (greedy heuristics) for the classical domination number and two multiple domination numbers in simple graphs. First, we present a short self-contained proof of the known result that the minimum domination…
Given positive integers $m_1, m_2, ..., m_n$, and $n$ general points $p_i$ of ${\bf CP}^2$, bounds are given for the least degree $t$ among plane curves passing through each point $p_i$ with multiplicity at least $m_i$, and for the least…
In the literature, several different identification problems in graphs have been studied, the most widely studied such problems are the ones based on dominating sets as a tool of identification. Hereby, the objective is to separate any two…
This is an improved version of the talk of the author given at the Antalya Algebra Days VII on May 21, 2005. We present an introduction to the theory of the invariants under the action of GL(n,C) by simultaneous conjugation of d matrices of…
We collect some open problems about minimal presentations of numerical semigroups and, more generally, about defining ideals and free resolutions of their semigroup rings and associated graded rings. We emphasize both long-standing problems…
In large-data applications, it is desirable to design algorithms with a high degree of parallelization. In the context of submodular optimization, adaptive complexity has become a widely-used measure of an algorithm's "sequentiality".…
We present the $\textit{NumericalImplicitization}$ package for $\textit{Macaulay2}$, which allows for user-friendly computation of the invariants of the image of a polynomial map, such as dimension, degree, and Hilbert function values. This…
We consider the problem of determining whether a monomial ideal is dominant. This property is critical for determining for which monomial ideals the Taylor resolution is minimal. We first analyze dominant ideals with a fixed least common…
In this paper we analyze the extension of the classical smallest enclosing disk problem to the case of the location of a polyellipsoid to fully cover a set of demand points in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We prove that the problem is polynomially…
We obtain an estimate for the main term of the counting function for numerical monoids.
The classical Frobenius problem is to compute the largest number g not representable as a non-negative integer linear combination of non-negative integers x_1, x_2, ..., x_k, where gcd(x_1, x_2, ..., x_k) = 1. In this paper we consider…
In this paper we combine the theory of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces with the field of collocation methods to solve boundary value problems with special emphasis on reproducing property of kernels. From the reproducing property of…
We introduce a monoidal category whose morphisms are finite partial orders, with chosen minimal and maximal elements as source and target respectively. After recalling the notion of presentation of a monoidal category by the means of…
Efficient algorithms for many problems in optimization and computational algebra often arise from casting them as systems of polynomial equations. Blum, Shub, and Smale formalized this as Hilbert's Nullstellensatz Problem $HN_R$: given…
In this note, we consider the monoid $\mathcal{PIM}_{n}$ of all partial monotone transformations on a chain with $n$ elements whose domains and ranges are intervals and its submonoid $\mathcal{IM}_{n}$ constituted by the full…
In this article, we present what we believe to be a simple way to motivate the use of Hilbert spaces in quantum mechanics. To achieve this, we study the way the notion of dimension can, at a very primitive level, be defined as the…
It is known that the maximum cardinality cut problem is NP-hard even in chordal graphs. In this paper, we consider the time complexity of the problem in proper interval graphs, a subclass of chordal graphs, and propose a dynamic programming…
