The $\ell$-matroid intersection ($\ell$-MI) problem asks if $\ell$ given matroids share a common basis. Already for $\ell = 3$, notable canonical NP-complete special cases are $3$-Dimensional Matching and Hamiltonian Path on directed…

For many hard computational problems, simple algorithms that run in time $2^n \cdot n^{O(1)}$ arise, say, from enumerating all subsets of a size-$n$ set. Finding (exponentially) faster algorithms is a natural goal that has driven much of…

We study the problem of factoring univariate polynomials over finite fields. Under the assumption of the Extended Riemann Hypothesis (ERH), (Gao, 2001) designed a polynomial time algorithm that fails to factor only if the input polynomial…

A border u of a word w is a proper factor of w occurring both as a prefix and as a suffix. The maximal unbordered factor of w is the longest factor of w which does not have a border. Here an O(n log n)-time with high probability (or O(n log…

A large number of NP-hard graph problems can be solved in $f(w)n^{O(1)}$ time and space when the input graph is provided together with a tree decomposition of width $w$, in many cases with a modest exponential dependence $f(w)$ on $w$.…

Min-plus product of two $n\times n$ matrices is a fundamental problem in algorithm research. It is known to be equivalent to APSP, and in general it has no truly subcubic algorithms. In this paper, we focus on the min-plus product on a…

We show that the effective factorization of Ore polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$ is still an open problem. This is so because the known algorithm in [1] presents two gaps, and therefore it does not cover all the examples. We amend one of…

Let $f(T)$ be a monic polynomial of degree $d$ with coefficients in a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Extending earlier results in the literature, but now allowing $(q,2d)>1$, we give a criterion for $f$ to satisfy the following property: for…
