We describe constructions of extended formulations that establish a certain relaxed version of the Hirsch conjecture and prove that if there is a pivot rule for the simplex algorithm for which one can bound the number of steps by a…

In tolerancing analysis, geometrical or contact specifications can be represented by polytopes. Due to the degrees of invariance of surfaces and that of freedom of joints, these operand polytopes are originally unbounded in most of the…

The requirement for solving a polynomial is a means of breaking its symmetry, which in the case of the quintic, is that of the symmetric group S_5. Induced by its five-dimensional linear permutation representation is a three-dimensional…

Integral representations are derived for the parabolic cylinder functions $U(a,x)$, $V(a,x)$ and $W(a,x)$ and their derivatives. The new integrals will be used in numerical algorithms based on quadrature. They follow from contour integrals…

Beginning from a discussion of the known most fundamental dynamical structures of the Standard Model of physics, extended into the realms of mathematics and theory by the concept of "supersymmetry" or "SUSY," an introduction to efforts to…

During the last few years several new results on packing problems were obtained using a blend of tools from semidefinite optimization, polynomial optimization, and harmonic analysis. We survey some of these results and the techniques…

Polytopal methods provide a flexible framework for the numerical approximation of partial differential equations on general meshes. Their convergence analysis raises specific challenges due to their inherently non-conforming nature and, in…

We present an algorithm for low rank decomposition of tensors of any symmetry type, from fully asymmetric to fully symmetric. It recovers the decomposition one summand at a time via the higher-order power method. This approach is known to…

We prove two homotopy decomposition theorems for the loops on co-H-spaces, including a generalization of the Hilton-Milnor Theorem. These are applied to problems arising in algebra, representation theory, toric topology, and the study of…

Local Fourier analysis is a strong and well-established tool for analyzing the convergence of numerical methods for partial differential equations. The key idea of local Fourier analysis is to represent the occurring functions in terms of a…

Composite minimization involves a collection of smooth functions which are aggregated in a nonsmooth manner. In the convex setting, we design an algorithm by linearizing each smooth component in accordance with its main curvature. The…

Symmetry is the essential element of lifted inference that has recently demon- strated the possibility to perform very efficient inference in highly-connected, but symmetric probabilistic models models. This raises the question, whether…

The class of 2-dimensional non-integrable flat dynamical systems has a rather extensive literature with many deep results, but the methods developed for this type of problems, both the traditional approach via Teichm\"{u}ller geometry and…

The purpose of this note is to survey a methodology to solve systems of polynomial equations and inequalities. The techniques we discuss use the algebra of multivariate polynomials with coefficients over a field to create large-scale linear…

A novel method has been introduced to solve a point inclusion in a polygon problem. The method is applicable to convex as well as non-convex polygons which are not self-intersecting. The introduced method is independent of rounding off…

We present two algorithms for unfolding the surface of any polyhedron, all of whose faces are triangles, to a nonoverlapping, connected planar layout. The surface is cut only along polyhedron edges. The layout is connected, but it may have…

We introduce a generalization of tropical polyhedra able to express both strict and non-strict inequalities. Such inequalities are handled by means of a semiring of germs (encoding infinitesimal perturbations). We develop a tropical…
