Solving linear systems and quadratic programming (QP) problems are both ubiquitous tasks in the engineering and computing fields. Direct methods for solving systems, such as Cholesky, LU, and QR factorizations, exhibit data-independent time…

We show that combining two different hypothetical enhancements to quantum computation---namely, quantum advice and non-collapsing measurements---would let a quantum computer solve any decision problem whatsoever in polynomial time, even…

In a recent paper almost sure unisolvence of RBF interpolation at random points with no polynomial addition was proved, for Thin-Plate Splines and Radial Powers with noninteger exponent. The proving technique left unsolved the case of odd…

Fixed-point solvers are ubiquitous in nonlinear PDEs, yet their progress collapses whenever the Jacobian at the solution carries an eigenvalue arbitrarily close to one. We ask whether such stagnation can be removed without storing long…

We consider the notions of (i) critical points, (ii) second-order points, (iii) local minima, and (iv) strict local minima for multivariate polynomials. For each type of point, and as a function of the degree of the polynomial, we study the…

We study a problem of reconstruction of connected graphs where the input gives all subsets of size k that induce a connected subgraph. Originally introduced by Bastide et al. (WG 2023) for triples ($k=3$), this problem received…

We give efficient algorithms for finding power-sum decomposition of an input polynomial $P(x)= \sum_{i\leq m} p_i(x)^d$ with component $p_i$s. The case of linear $p_i$s is equivalent to the well-studied tensor decomposition problem while…

In this paper, we will find a pseudopolynomial algorithm to solve $Qm \mid \mid L_{\max}$ and then we will prove that it is impossible to get any constant-factor approximation in polynomial time, and thus also impossible to have a PTAS for…

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 unisolvent node set $P_{m,n} \subseteq \mathbb{R}^m$ of…

The $2 \rightarrow q$ norm of a matrix $X \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times d}$ is defined as $\lVert X \rVert_{2 \rightarrow q} = \sup_{\lVert v \rVert_2 = 1} \lVert Xv \rVert_q$. We give polynomial-time multiplicative approximation algorithms for…

We present a framework for the synthesis of phase polynomials that addresses both cases of full connectivity and partial connectivity for NISQ architectures. In most cases, our algorithms generate circuits with lower CNOT count and CNOT…
