Given a real $\mu\geq 1$, a graph $H$ is $\mu$-almost-regular if $\Delta(H)\leq \mu \delta(H)$. The celebrated regularization theorem of Erd\H{o}s and Simonovits states that for every real $0<\varepsilon<1$ there exists a real…

Let $ES_{d}(n)$ be the smallest integer such that any set of $ES_{d}(n)$ points in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ in general position contains $n$ points in convex position. In 1960, Erd\H{o}s and Szekeres showed that $ES_{2}(n) \geq 2^{n-2} + 1$ holds,…

The celebrated Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorem \cite{EKR1961} states that the maximum intersecting $k$-uniform family on $[n]$ is a full star if $n\ge 2k+1$. Furthermore, Hilton-Milner \cite{HM1967} showed that if an intersecting $k$-uniform…

We consider the problem of preprocessing an $n\times n$ matrix $\mathbf{M}$, and supporting queries that, for any vector $v$, returns the matrix-vector product $\mathbf{M} v$. This problem has been extensively studied in both theory and…

Let $K$ be a number field and ${\mathcal O}$ be the ring of $S$-integers in $K$. Morgan, Rapinchuck, and Sury have proved that if the group of units ${\mathcal O}^{\times}$ is infinite, then every matrix in ${\rm SL}_2({\mathcal O})$ is a…

Basic path-matchings, introduced by Cunningham and Geelen (FOCS 1996), are a common generalization of matroid intersection and non-bipartite matching. The main results of this paper are a new algebraic characterization of basic…

A real symmetric matrix $M$ is completely positive semidefinite if it admits a Gram representation by (Hermitian) positive semidefinite matrices of any size $d$. The smallest such $d$ is called the (complex) completely positive semidefinite…

We study a variant of the Erd\H{o}s Matching Problem in random hypergraphs. Let $\mathcal{K}_p(n,k)$ denote the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices where each possible edge is included with probability $p$. We…

Recently, Dvir, Golovnev, and Weinstein have shown that sufficiently strong lower bounds for linear data structures would imply new bounds for rigid matrices. However, their result utilizes an algorithm that requires an $NP$ oracle, and…

In this work the matrix exponential function is solved analytically for the special orthogonal groups $SO(n)$ up to $n=9$. The number of occurring $k$-th matrix powers gets limited to $0\leq k \leq n-1$ by exploiting the Cayley-Hamilton…

The $n\times n$ doubly stochastic matrices constitute a polytope in $\mathbb{R}^{n^2}$, and by Birkhoff's theorem, its vertex set coincides with the set of order-$n$ permutation matrices.\\ A tristochastic array is an $n \times n\times n$…

A saddlepoint of an $n \times n$ matrix $A$ is an entry of $A$ that is a maximum in its row and a minimum in its column. Knuth (1968) gave several different algorithms for finding a saddlepoint. The worst-case running time of these…

Williamson's theorem states that for any $2n \times 2n$ real positive definite matrix $A$, there exists a $2n \times 2n$ real symplectic matrix $S$ such that $S^TAS=D \oplus D$, where $D$ is an $n\times n$ diagonal matrix with positive…
