We propose an improved algorithm for finding roots of polynomials over finite fields. This makes possible significant speedup of the decoding process of Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem, Reed-Solomon, and some other error-correcting codes.
For bivariate polynomials of degree $n\le 5$ we give fast numerical constructions of determinantal representations with $n\times n$ matrices. Unlike some other available constructions, our approach returns matrices of the smallest possible…
Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety. Define a stable map $f:C\to X$ to be "eventually smoothable" if there is an embedding $X\hookrightarrow\mathbb{P}^N$ such that $(C,f)$ occurs as the limit of a $1$-parameter family of stable maps to…
Smoothed analysis of complexity bounds and condition numbers has been done, so far, on a case by case basis. In this paper we consider a reasonably large class of condition numbers for problems over the complex numbers and we obtain…
This paper derives numerical bounds for and implements the splitting circle method for finding roots of a univariate polynomial in the presence of fixed precision.
Deciding whether a given graph has a square root is a classical problem that has been studied extensively both from graph theoretic and from algorithmic perspectives. The problem is NP-complete in general, and consequently substantial…
We investigate Newton's method as a root finder for complex polynomials of arbitrary degree. While polynomial root finding continues to be one of the fundamental tasks of computing, with essential use in all areas of theoretical…
Properties of the Alexander polynomials of Hurwitz curves are investigated. A complete description of the set of the Alexander polynomials of irreducible Hurwitz curves in the terms of their roots is given.
Univariate polynomial root-finding is a classical subject, still important for modern computing. Frequently one seeks just the real roots of a real coefficient polynomial. They can be approximated at a low computational cost if the…
In this paper, we provide a new method to find all zeros of polynomials with quaternionic coefficients located on only one side of the powers of the variable (these polynomials are called simple polynomials). This method is much more…
We give necessary and sufficient topological conditions for a simple closed curve on a real rational surface to be approximable by smooth rational curves. We also study approximation by smooth rational curves with given complex…
One of basic difficulties of machine learning is handling unknown rotations of objects, for example in image recognition. A related problem is evaluation of similarity of shapes, for example of two chemical molecules, for which direct…
We study the set of common $\mathbb{F}_q$-rational solutions of "smooth" systems of multivariate symmetric polynomials with coefficients in a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. We show that, under certain conditions, the set of common solutions…
In the first part of this paper, the main concern is with smoothness properties of the boundary of the pseudospectrum of a matrix polynomial. In the second part, results are obtained concerning the number of connected components of…
In this paper, we prove optimal local universality for roots of random polynomials with arbitrary coeffcients of polynomial growth. As an application, we derive, for the first time, sharp estimates for the number of real roots of these…
This paper considers the problem of smoothing convex functions and sets, seeking the nearest smooth convex function or set to a given one. For convex cones and sublinear functions, a full characterization of the set of all optimal…
A problem concerning the shift of roots of a system of homogeneous algebraic equations is investigated. Its conservation and decomposition of a multiple root into simple roots are discussed.
Univariate polynomials with only real roots -- while special -- do occur often enough that their properties can lead to interesting conclusions in diverse areas. Due mainly to the recent work of two young mathematicians, Julius Borcea and…
We introduce the notion of a $p$-Cartier smooth algebra. It generalises that of a smooth algebra and includes valuation rings over a perfectoid base. We give several characterisations of $p$-Cartier smoothness in terms of prismatic…
We consider real monic {\em hyperbolic} polynomials in one real variable, i.e. polynomials having only real roots. Call {\em hyperbolicity domain} $\Pi$ of the family of polynomials $P(x,a)=x^n+a_1x^{n-1}+... +a_n$, $a_i,x\in {\bf R}$, the…
