This document is an exposition of an assortment of open problems arising from the exact enumeration of (perfect) matchings of finite graphs. Roughly half have been solved at the time of this writing; see the document "Twenty Open Problems…
We review results of papers written on the topic of polynomial amoebas with an emphasis on computational aspects of the topic. The polynomial amoebas have a lot of applications in various domains of science. Computation of the amoeba for a…
This article demonstrates how an understanding of the geometry of a family of cost functions can be used to develop efficient numerical algorithms for real-time optimisation. Crucially, it is not the geometry of the individual functions…
The paper presents results for deriving closed-form analytic solutions of the evolution of inhomogeneities in a homogeneous spatially flat multicomponent cosmological model. Mathematical methods to derive computable forms of the…
The development of algorithmic fractal dimensions in this century has had many fruitful interactions with geometric measure theory, especially fractal geometry in Euclidean spaces. We survey these developments, with emphasis on connections…
A list of open problems in the field of analysis of boolean functions, compiled February 2012 for the Simons Symposium.
This document presents a series of open questions arising in matrix computations, i.e., the numerical solution of linear algebra problems. It is a result of working groups at the workshop Linear Systems and Eigenvalue Problems, which was…
These are the open problems presented at the 13th International Symposium on Orthogonal Polynomials, Special Functions and Applications (OPSFA13), Gaithersburg, Maryland, on June 4, 2015.
We give a survey of results on the geometry of complex algebraic Q-acyclic surfaces, so-called 'Q-homology planes', including some recent results.

Shape analysis and compuational anatomy both make use of sophisticated tools from infinite-dimensional differential manifolds and Riemannian geometry on spaces of functions. While comprehensive references for the mathematical foundations…
I present a selection of results on locally conformally K\"ahler geometry published after 1997. The proofs are mainly sketched, some of them are even omitted. Several open problems are indicated in the end.
This is an expository paper, based on by a talk given at the AWM Research Symposium 2017. It is intended as a gentle introduction to geometric group theory with a focus on the notion of hyperbolicity, a theme that has inspired the field…
We present a form of algebraic reasoning for computational objects which are expressed as graphs. Edges describe the flow of data between primitive operations which are represented by vertices. These graphs have an interface made of…
These notes are an expanded version of the author's lectures at the graduate workshop "Noncommutative Algebraic Geometry" at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in June 2012. The main topics discussed are Artin-Schelter regular…
Tropical geometry is a piecewise linear "shadow" of algebraic geometry. It allows for the computation of several cohomological invariants of an algebraic variety. In particular, its application to enumerative algebraic geometry led to…
Many forms of programmable matter have been proposed for various tasks. We use an abstract model of self-organizing particle systems for programmable matter which could be used for a variety of applications, including smart paint and…
The medical image analysis field has traditionally been focused on the development of organ-, and disease-specific methods. Recently, the interest in the development of more 20 comprehensive computational anatomical models has grown,…
This survey is an invitation to recent developments in higher dimensional birational geometry.
We investigate the complexity of isomorphism relations for classes of finitely generated and n-generated computably enumerable (c.e.) algebras, presented via c.e. presentations -- that is, as quotients of term algebras over decidable sets…
