The notion of root polynomials of a polynomial matrix $P(\lambda)$ was thoroughly studied in [F. Dopico and V. Noferini, Root polynomials and their role in the theory of matrix polynomials, Linear Algebra Appl. 584:37--78, 2020]. In this…

Equivalence testing for a polynomial family {g_m} over a field F is the following problem: Given black-box access to an n-variate polynomial f(x), where n is the number of variables in g_m, check if there exists an A in GL(n,F) such that…

We consider two basic algorithmic problems concerning tuples of (skew-)symmetric matrices. The first problem asks to decide, given two tuples of (skew-)symmetric matrices $(B_1, \dots, B_m)$ and $(C_1, \dots, C_m)$, whether there exists an…

We study the \emph{order-finding problem} for Read-once Oblivious Algebraic Branching Programs (ROABPs). Given a polynomial $f$ and a parameter $w$, the goal is to find an order $\sigma$ in which $f$ has an ROABP of \emph{width} $w$. We…

Univariate polynomial root-finding is a classical subject, still important for modern computing. Frequently one seeks just the real roots of a polynomial with real coefficients. They can be approximated at a low computational cost if the…

An n-variate Vandermonde polynomial is the determinant of the n x n matrix where the ith column is the vector (1, x_i, x_i^2, ...., x_i^{n-1})^T. Vandermonde polynomials play a crucial role in the theory of alternating polynomials and occur…

Symmetric determinantal point processes (DPP's) are a class of probabilistic models that encode the random selection of items that exhibit a repulsive behavior. They have attracted a lot of attention in machine learning, when returning…
