Monadic second order logic can be used to express many classical notions of sets of vertices of a graph as for instance: dominating sets, induced matchings, perfect codes, independent sets or irredundant sets. Bounds on the number of sets…

We study the closure of the projection of the (nonconvex) cone of rank restricted positive semidefinite matrices onto subsets of the matrix entries. This defines the feasible sets for semidefinite completion problems with restrictions on…
Consider a polyhedral convex cone which is given by a finite number of linear inequalities. We investigate the problem to project this cone into a subspace and show that this problem is closely related to linear vector optimization: We…

This paper discusses the split feasibility problem with polynomials. The sets are semi-algebraic, defined by polynomial inequalities. They can be either convex or nonconvex, either feasible or infeasible. We give semidefinite relaxations…
Satisfiability of Boolean circuits is among the most known and important problems in theoretical computer science. This problem is NP-complete in general but becomes polynomial time when restricted either to monotone gates or linear gates.…
Estimating the linear dimensionality of a data set in the presence of noise is a common problem. However, data may also be corrupted by monotone nonlinear distortion that preserves the ordering of matrix entries but causes linear methods…
Given two prime monotone boolean functions $f:\{0,1\}^n \to \{0,1\}$ and $g:\{0,1\}^n \to \{0,1\}$ the dualization problem consists in determining if $g$ is the dual of $f$, that is if $f(x_1, \dots, x_n)= \overline{g}(\overline{x_1}, \dots…
A symmetric tensor may be regarded as a partially symmetric tensor in several different ways. These produce different notions of rank for the symmetric tensor which are related by chains of inequalities. By exploiting algebraic tools such…
We show that any nonzero polynomial in the ideal generated by the $r \times r$ minors of an $n \times n$ matrix $X$ can be used to efficiently approximate the determinant. For any nonzero polynomial $f$ in this ideal, we construct a small…
Second-order necessary optimality conditions for nonlinear conic programming problems that depend on a single Lagrange multiplier are usually built under nondegeneracy and strict complementarity. In this paper we establish a condition of…
Consider the representations of an algebraic group G. In general, polynomial invariant functions may fail to separate orbits. The invariant subring may not be finitely generated, or the number and complexity of the generators may grow…
We examine a constrained Markov decision process under uncertain transition probabilities, with the uncertainty modeled as deviations from observed transition probabilities. We construct the uncertainty set associated with the deviations…
