We show that the Word Problem in finitely generated subgroups of $\textsf{GL}_d(\mathbb{Z})$ can be solved in linear average-case complexity. This is done under the bit-complexity model, which accounts for the fact that large integers are…
We say that a linear space is harmonious if it is resolvable and admits an automorphism group acting sharply transitively on the points and transitively on the parallel classes. Generalizing old results by the first author et al. we present…
Common meadows are commutative and associative algebraic structures with two operations (addition and multiplication) with additive and multiplicative identities and for which inverses are total. The inverse of zero is an error term…
We formulate the integer factorization problem via a formulation of the searching problem for the ground state of a statistical mechanical Hamiltonian. The first passage time required to find a correct divisor of a composite number…
An integer linear system (ILS) is a linear system with integer constraints. The solution graph of an ILS is defined as an undirected graph defined on the set of feasible solutions to the ILS. A pair of feasible solutions is connected by an…
We consider the problem of computing the minimal nonnegative solution $G$ of the nonlinear matrix equation $X=\sum_{i=-1}^\infty A_iX^{i+1}$ where $A_i$, for $i\ge -1$, are nonnegative square matrices such that $\sum_{i=-1}^\infty A_i$ is…
We investigate the complexity of deciding, given a multiplication table representing a semigroup S, a subset X of S and an element t of S, whether t can be expressed as a product of elements of X. It is well-known that this problem is…
Semigroup theory is a branch of abstract algebra, and it provides mathematical tools for the theory of computation. Finite semigroups can describe state transition systems and thus they model physically realizable computers. Engineering…
Unlike matrix completion, tensor completion does not have an algorithm that is known to achieve the information-theoretic sample complexity rate. This paper develops a new algorithm for the special case of completion for nonnegative…
This paper studies the computational difficulty of clustering problems that are defined directly on a continuous probability density. Rather than working with finite samples, we assume the density is given as a polynomial and ask whether it…
A simple linear loop is a simple while loop with linear assignments and linear loop guards. If a simple linear loop has only two program variables, we give a complete algorithm for computing the set of all the inputs on which the loop does…
We address a problem of covariance selection, where we seek a trade-off between a high likelihood against the number of non-zero elements in the inverse covariance matrix. We solve a maximum likelihood problem with a penalty term given by…
We study the thresholds for the property of containing a solution to a linear homogeneous system in random sets. We expand a previous sparse Sz\'emeredi-type result of Schacht to the broadest class of matrices possible. We also provide a…
We investigate the computational complexity for determining various properties of a finite transformation semigroup given by generators. We introduce a simple framework to describe transformation semigroup properties that are decidable in…
This is part of an ongoing project to find a general algebraic framework for semiring theory. The structure theory of semirings is quite challenging, largely because of the lack of negation, and such basic properties such as unique…
We give a strongly polynomial-time algorithm for integer linear programs defined by integer coefficient matrices whose subdeterminants are bounded by a constant and that contain at most two nonzero entries in each row. The core of our…
A symmetric characteristic singular integral equation with two fixed singularities at the endpoints in the class of functions bounded at the ends is analyzed. It reduces to a vector Hilbert problem for a half-disc and then to a vector…
The goal of group testing is to identify a small number of defective items within a large population. In the non-adaptive setting, tests are designed in advance and represented by a measurement matrix $\mM$, where rows correspond to tests…
In this article we study a class of generalised linear systems of difference equations with given non-consistent initial conditions and infinite many solutions. We take into consideration the case that the coefficients are square constant…
Exploiting tools from algebraic geometry, the problem of finiteness of determination of accessibility/strong accessibility is investigated for polynomial systems and also for analytic systems that are immersible into polynomial systems. The…
