We consider the following problem: Given a rational matrix $A \in \setQ^{m \times n}$ and a rational polyhedron $Q \subseteq\setR^{m+p}$, decide if for all vectors $b \in \setR^m$, for which there exists an integral $z \in \setZ^p$ such…
We consider the problem of evaluating certain exponential sums. These sums take the form $\sum_{x_1,...,x_n \in Z_N} e^{f(x_1,...,x_n) {2 \pi i / N}} $, where each x_i is summed over a ring Z_N, and f(x_1,...,x_n) is a multivariate…

Quantum computation by adiabatic evolution, as described in quant-ph/0001106, will solve satisfiability problems if the running time is long enough. In certain special cases (that are classically easy) we know that the quantum algorithm…

For a prime $p$ and an integer $x$, the $p$-adic valuation of $x$ is denoted by $\nu_{p}(x)$. For a polynomial $Q$ with integer coefficients, the sequence of valuations $\nu_{p}(Q(n))$ is shown to be either periodic or unbounded. The first…
