Molecular computing promises massive parallelization to explore solution spaces, but so far practical implementations remain limited due to off-target binding and exponential proliferation of competing structures. Here, we investigate the…
Let $K$ be a number field, let $A$ be a finite-dimensional $K$-algebra, let $\mathrm{J}(A)$ denote the Jacobson radical of $A$, and let $\Lambda$ be an $\mathcal{O}_{K}$-order in $A$. Suppose that each simple component of the semisimple…
We equip the complex polynomial algebra C[t] with the involution which is the identity on C and sends t to -t. Answering a question raised by V.G. Kac, we show that every hermitian or skew-hermitian matrix over this algebra is congruent to…
By solving a problem regarding polynomials in a quotient ring, we obtain the relative hull and the Hermitian hull of projective Reed-Muller codes over the projective plane. The dimension of the hull determines the minimum number of…
The generalised Sudoku problem with $N$ symbols is known to be NP-complete, and hence is equivalent to any other NP-complete problem, even for the standard restricted version where $N$ is a perfect square. In particular, generalised Sudoku…
One of our result is that 5 measurable sets in $R^8$ always admit an equipartition by 2 hyperplanes. This is an instance of a general equipartition problem (formulated by B. Gr{\" u}nbaum and H. Hadwiger) which can be reduced to the…
We study the Hermitian hull of a particular family of generalized Reed-Solomon codes. The problem of computing the dimension of the hull is translated to a counting problem in a lattice. By solving this problem, we provide explicit formulas…
Given two linear codes, the Linear Equivalence Problem (LEP) asks to find (if it exists) a linear isometry between them; as a special case, we have the Permutation Equivalence Problem (PEP), in which isometries must be permutations. LEP and…
Cross-modal hashing is a successful method to solve large-scale multimedia retrieval issue. A lot of matrix factorization-based hashing methods are proposed. However, the existing methods still struggle with a few problems, such as how to…
The intersection ${\bf C}\bigcap {\bf C}^{\perp}$ (${\bf C}\bigcap {\bf C}^{\perp_h}$) of a linear code ${\bf C}$ and its Euclidean dual ${\bf C}^{\perp}$ (Hermitian dual ${\bf C}^{\perp_h}$) is called the Euclidean (Hermitian) hull of this…
The quantum query complexity of Boolean matrix multiplication is typically studied as a function of the matrix dimension, n, as well as the number of 1s in the output, \ell. We prove an upper bound of O (n\sqrt{\ell}) for all values of…
The assumed hardness of the Linear Code Equivalence problem (LCE) lies at the core of the security of the LESS signature scheme and other signature schemes with advanced functionalities. The LCE problem asks to determine whether two linear…
Matrix scaling and matrix balancing are two basic linear-algebraic problems with a wide variety of applications, such as approximating the permanent, and pre-conditioning linear systems to make them more numerically stable. We study the…
To treat a problem with a Quantum Processing Unit (QPU), it must be transformed into a sequence of quantum operations, or gates: this is the quantum description of the problem. These operations are either packed into a query (i.e. quantum…
The hull of a linear code is defined as the intersection of the code and its dual. This concept was initially introduced to classify finite projective planes. The hull plays a crucial role in determining the complexity of algorithms used to…
Given a graph, the general problem to cover the maximum number of vertices by a collection of vertex-disjoint long paths seemingly escapes from the literature. A path containing at least $k$ vertices is considered long. When $k \le 3$, the…
We analyze the multivariate generalization of Howgrave-Graham's algorithm for the approximate common divisor problem. In the m-variable case with modulus N and approximate common divisor of size N^beta, this improves the size of the error…
In order to formulate mathematical conjectures likely to be true, a number of base cases must be determined. However, many combinatorial problems are NP-hard and the computational complexity makes this research approach difficult using a…
There has never been a more exciting time for the future of quantum computing than now. Near-term quantum computing usage is now the next XPRIZE. With that challenge in mind we have explored a new approach as a hybrid quantum-classical…
We present a new algorithm that, given two matrices in $GL(n,Q)$, decides if they are conjugate in $GL(n,Z)$ and, if so, determines a conjugating matrix. We also give an algorithm to construct a generating set for the centraliser in…
