Consider the $2n$-by-$2n$ matrix $M=(m_{i,j})_{i,j=1}^{2n}$ with $m_{i,j} = 1$ for $i,j$ satisfying $|2i-2n-1|+|2j-2n-1| \leq 2n$ and $m_{i,j} = 0$ for all other $i,j$, consisting of a central diamond of 1's surrounded by 0's. When $n \geq…

We define sets of coulourings of the infinite discrete plane using monadic second order (MSO) formulas. We determine the complexity of deciding whether such a formula defines a subshift, parametrized on the quantifier alternation complexity…

We consider partial symmetric Toeplitz matrices where a positive definite completion exists. We characterize those patterns where the maximum determinant completion is itself Toeplitz. We then extend these results with positive definite…

We present new deterministic algorithms for several cases of the maximum rank matrix completion problem (for short matrix completion), i.e. the problem of assigning values to the variables in a given symbolic matrix as to maximize the…

Effective computation of resultants is a central problem in elimination theory and polynomial system solving. Commonly, we compute the resultant as a quotient of determinants of matrices and we say that there exists a determinantal formula…

Tiling planar regions with dominoes is a classical problem in which the decision and counting problems are polynomial. We prove a variety of hardness results (both NP- and #P-completeness) for different generalizations of dominoes in three…

We give a formula for the determinant of an $n\times n$ matrix with entries from a commutative ring with unit. The formula can be evaluated by a "straight-line program" performing only additions, subtractions and multiplications of ring…

We give a combinatorial interpretation of the determinant of a matrix as a generating function over Brauer diagrams in two different but related ways. The sign of a permutation associated to its number of inversions in the Leibniz formula…
