We present a new algorithm for solving a polynomial program P based on the recent "joint + marginal" approach of the first author for, parametric optimization. The idea is to first consider the variable x1 as a parameter and solve the…
Toric (or sparse) elimination theory is a framework developped during the last decades to exploit monomial structures in systems of Laurent polynomials. Roughly speaking, this amounts to computing in a \emph{semigroup algebra}, \emph{i.e.}…
The coalgebraic $\mu$-calculus provides a generic semantic framework for fixpoint logics over systems whose branching type goes beyond the standard relational setup, e.g. probabilistic, weighted, or game-based. Previous work on the…

Polynomial factorization in conventional sense is an ill-posed problem due to its discontinuity with respect to coefficient perturbations, making it a challenge for numerical computation using empirical data. As a regularization, this paper…
Nonlinear equations are challenging to solve due to their inherently nonlinear nature. As analytical solutions typically do not exist, numerical methods have been developed to tackle their solutions. In this article, we give a quantum…

Herein, we present a polylogarithmic decomposition method to load the matrix from the linearized 1-dimensional Burgers' equation onto a quantum computer. First, we use the Carleman linearization method to map the nonlinear Burgers' equation…
A $P_q(t,k,n)$ $q$-packing design is a selection of $k$-subspaces of $\F_q^n$ such that each $t$-subspace is contained in at most one element of the collection. A successful approach adopted from the Kramer-Mesner-method of prescribing a…
We consider Presburger arithmetic (PA) extended by scalar multiplication by an algebraic irrational number $\alpha$, and call this extension $\alpha$-Presburger arithmetic ($\alpha$-PA). We show that the complexity of deciding sentences in…

Quantifier elimination (QE) is an important problem that has numerous applications. Unfortunately, QE is computationally very hard. Earlier we introduced a generalization of QE called $\mathit{partial}$ QE (or PQE for short). PQE allows to…
