In earlier work we have studied a method for discretization in time of a parabolic problem which consists in representing the exact solution as an integral in the complex plane and then applying a quadrature formula to this integral. In…
We argue that parameterized complexity is a useful tool with which to study global constraints. In particular, we show that many global constraints which are intractable to propagate completely have natural parameters which make them…
We present an effective method for computing parametric primary decomposition via comprehensive Gr\"obner systems. In general, it is very difficult to compute a parametric primary decomposition of a given ideal in the polynomial ring with…
The Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis (SETH) asserts that for every $\varepsilon>0$ there exists $k$ such that $k$-SAT requires time $(2-\varepsilon)^n$. The field of fine-grained complexity has leveraged SETH to prove quite tight…
I survey methods from differential geometry, algebraic geometry and representation theory relevant for the permanent v. determinant problem from computer science, an algebraic analog of the P v. NP problem.
The main purpose of this book is to propose an introduction to the modern tools of algebraic complexity. To remain as simple as possible while providing meaningful examples, we chose to focus on effective linear algebra; this is certainly…
By combining well-known techniques from both noncommutative algebra and computational commutative algebra, we observe that an algorithmic approach can be applied to the study of irreducible representations of finitely presented algebras. In…
Robustness of linear systems with constant coefficients is considered. There exist methods and tools for analyzing the stability of systems with random or deterministic uncertainties. At the same time, there are no approaches for the…
The ramification method in Implicit Computational Complexity has been associated with functional programming, but adapting it to generic imperative programming is highly desirable, given the wider algorithmic applicability of imperative…
Gaussian processes (GPs) enable principled computation of model uncertainty, making them attractive for safety-critical applications. Such scenarios demand that GP decisions are not only accurate, but also robust to perturbations. In this…
Probabilistic argumentation allows reasoning about argumentation problems in a way that is well-founded by probability theory. However, in practice, this approach can be severely limited by the fact that probabilities are defined by adding…
Many statistical models are algebraic in that they are defined in terms of polynomial constraints, or in terms of polynomial or rational parametrizations. The parameter spaces of such models are typically semi-algebraic subsets of the…
We develop a linear-algebraic framework for dimensional analysis in systems with constraints, particularly when variables are numerous or related by implicit relations so that direct elimination is impractical. By expressing both…
Users of program analyses expect that results change predictably in response to changes in their programs, but many analyses fail to provide such robustness. This paper introduces a theoretical framework that provides a unified language to…
We associate with any simplicial complex $\K$ and any integer $m$ a system of linear equations and inequalities. If $\K$ has a simplicial embedding in $\R^m$ then the system has an integer solution. This result extends the work of I. Novik…
We present an exact and complete algorithm to isolate the real solutions of a zero-dimensional bivariate polynomial system. The proposed algorithm constitutes an elimination method which improves upon existing approaches in a number of…
Every real hyperbolic form in three variables can be realized as the determinant of a linear net of Hermitian matrices containing a positive definite matrix. Such representations are an algebraic certificate for the hyperbolicity of the…
We confront two integrability criteria for rational mappings. The first is the singularity confinement based on the requirement that every singularity, spontaneously appearing during the iteration of a mapping, disappear after some steps.…
The integrability (solvability via an associated single-valued linear problem) of a differential equation is closely related to the singularity structure of its solutions. In particular, there is strong evidence that all integrable…
Computing the real solutions to a system of polynomial equations is a challenging problem, particularly verifying that all solutions have been computed. We describe an approach that combines numerical algebraic geometry and sums of squares…
