We show a method for constructing a polynomial interpolating roots' multiplicities of another polynomial, that does not use companion matrices. This leads to a modification to Guersenzvaig--Szechtman square-free decomposition algorithm that…
We are interested in numerically approximating the solution ${\bf U}(t)$ of the large dimensional semilinear matrix differential equation $\dot{\bf U}(t) = { \bf A}{\bf U}(t) + {\bf U}(t){ \bf B} + {\cal F}({\bf U},t)$, with appropriate…

For sink-free orientations in graphs of minimum degree at least $3$, we show that there is a deterministic approximate counting algorithm that runs in time $O((n^{73}/\varepsilon^{72})\log(n/\varepsilon))$, a near-linear time sampling…

We revisit recent developments for the Maximum Weight Independent Set problem in graphs excluding a subdivided claw $S_{t,t,t}$ as an induced subgraph [Chudnovsky, Pilipczuk, Pilipczuk, Thomass\'{e}, SODA 2020] and provide a…
Partitioning a connected graph into $k$~vertex-disjoint connected subgraphs of similar (or given) orders is a classical problem that has been intensively investigated since late seventies. Given a connected graph $G=(V,E)$ and a weight…
We show that there are polynomial-time algorithms to compute maximum independent sets in the categorical products of two cographs and two splitgraphs. The ultimate categorical independence ratio of a graph G is defined as lim_{k --> infty}…
We introduce a new graph polynomial in two variables. This ``interlace'' polynomial can be computed in two very different ways. The first is an expansion analogous to the state space expansion of the Tutte polynomial; the significant…
In this paper we provide sub-linear algorithms for several fundamental problems in the setting in which the input graph excludes a fixed minor, i.e., is a minor-free graph. In particular, we provide the following algorithms for minor-free…
The independence gap of a graph was introduced by Ekim et al. (2018) as a measure of how far a graph is from being well-covered. It is defined as the difference between the maximum and minimum size of a maximal independent set. We…
An interpolation-based decoding scheme for interleaved subspace codes is presented. The scheme can be used as a (not necessarily polynomial-time) list decoder as well as a probabilistic unique decoder. Both interpretations allow to decode…
For $m,n \in \mathbb{N}$, $m\geq 1$ and a given function $f : \mathbb{R}^m\longrightarrow \mathbb{R}$ the polynomial interpolation problem (PIP) is to determine a \emph{generic node set} $P \subseteq \mathbb{R}^m$ and the coefficients of…
This work investigates finite differences and the use of interpolation models to obtain approximations to the first and second derivatives of a function. Here, it is shown that if a particular set of points is used in the interpolation…
