The main aim of this paper is to characterize ideals I in the power series ring R=K[[x1,...,xs]] that are finitely determined up to contact equivalence by proving that this is the case if and only if I is an isolated complete intersection…
We investigate the multi-dimensional Super Resolution problem on closed semi-algebraic domains for various sampling schemes such as Fourier or moments. We present a new semidefinite programming (SDP) formulation of the 1 -minimization in…
Generalizing earlier work characterizing the quantum query complexity of computing a function of an unknown classical ``black box'' function drawn from some set of such black box functions, we investigate a more general quantum query model…
In this paper we consider the problem of computing all possible order ideals and also sets connected to 1, and the corresponding border bases, for the vanishing ideal of a given finite set of points. In this context two different approaches…
In this paper, we are concerned with the problem of determining the existence of multiple equilibria in economic models. We propose a general and complete approach for identifying multiplicities of equilibria in semi-algebraic economies,…
We present a method based on Dickson's lemma to compute the "approximate radical" of a zero dimensional ideal I in C[x1, . . ., xm] which has zero clusters: the approximate radical ideal has exactly one root in each cluster for sufficiently…
A chopped ideal is obtained from a homogeneous ideal by considering only the generators of a fixed degree. We investigate cases in which the chopped ideal defines the same finite set of points as the original one-dimensional ideal. The…
In many contexts one encounters Hermitian operators $M$ on a Hilbert space whose dimension is so large that it is impossible to write down all matrix entries in an orthonormal basis. How does one determine whether such $M$ is positive…
Let $K$ be a field, $\mathcal {O}_v$ a valuation ring of $K$ associated to a valuation $v$: $K\rightarrow\Gamma\cup\{\infty\}$, and ${\bf m}_v$ the unique maximal ideal of $\mathcal {O}_v$. Consider an ideal $\mathcal {I}$ of the free…
We consider systems of polynomial equations and inequalities in $\mathbb{Q}[\boldsymbol{y}][\boldsymbol{x}]$ where $\boldsymbol{x} = (x_1, \ldots, x_n)$ and $\boldsymbol{y} = (y_1, \ldots,y_t)$. The $\boldsymbol{y}$ indeterminates are…
A cofactor representation of an ideal element, that is, a representation in terms of the generators, can be considered as a certificate for ideal membership. Such a representation is typically not unique, and some can be a lot more…
In modeling physical systems it is sometimes useful to construct border bases of 0-dimensional polynomial ideals which are contained in the ideal generated by a given set of polynomials. We define and construct such subideal border bases,…
Why is it that semidefinite relaxations have been so successful in numerous applications in computer vision and robotics for solving non-convex optimization problems involving rotations? In studying the empirical performance we note that…
Let $\KX =K\langle X_1,\ldots ,X_n\rangle$ be the free algebra generated by $X=\{ X_1,\ldots ,X_n\}$ over a field $K$. It is shown that with respect to any weighted $\mathbb{N}$-gradation attached to $\KX$, minimal homogeneous generating…
We present algorithms for computing the reduced Gr\"{o}bner basis of the vanishing ideal of a finite set of points in a frame of ideal interpolation. Ideal interpolation is defined by a linear projector whose kernel is a polynomial ideal.…
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…

An algorithm for irreducible decomposition of representations of finite groups over fields of characteristic zero is described. The algorithm uses the fact that the decomposition induces a partition of the invariant inner product into a…
We consider the problem of minimizing a linear function over an affine section of the cone of positive semidefinite matrices, with the additional constraint that the feasible matrix has prescribed rank. When the rank constraint is active,…
The vanishing ideal of a set of points $X = \{\mathbf{x}_1, \ldots, \mathbf{x}_m\}\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ is the set of polynomials that evaluate to $0$ over all points $\mathbf{x} \in X$ and admits an efficient representation by a finite…
