In this paper we investigate computational properties of the Diophantine problem for spherical equations in some classes of finite groups. We classify the complexity of different variations of the problem, e.g., when $G$ is fixed and when…
Algorithms for embedding certain types of nilpotent subalgebras in maximal subalgebras of the same type are developed, using methods of real algebraic groups. These algorithms are applied to determine non-conjugate subalgebras of the…

Knowing the symmetries of a polyhedron can be very useful for the analysis of its structure as well as for practical polyhedral computations. In this note, we study symmetry groups preserving the linear, projective and combinatorial…

The group isomorphism problem asks whether two given groups are isomorphic or not. Whereas the case where both groups are abelian is well understood and can be solved efficiently, very little is known about the complexity of isomorphism…
The quantum Fourier transform (QFT) is central to many quantum algorithms, yet its necessity is not always well understood. We re-examine its role in canonical query problems. The Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm requires neither a QFT nor a domain…
Two quantum algorithms are presented, which tackle well--known problems in the context of numerical semigroups: the numerical semigroup membership problem (NSMP) and the Sylvester denumerant problem (SDP).
In this paper we formulate and study the problem of representing groups on graphs. We show that with respect to polynomial time turing reducibility, both abelian and solvable group representability are all equivalent to graph isomorphism,…
Subgraph enumeration problems ask to output all subgraphs of an input graph that belongs to the specified graph class or satisfy the given constraint. These problems have been widely studied in theoretical computer science. As far, many…
We consider the isomorphism problem for hypergraphs taking as input two hypergraphs over the same set of vertices $V$ and a permutation group $\Gamma$ over domain $V$, and asking whether there is a permutation $\gamma \in \Gamma$ that…
Functional digraphs are unlabelled finite digraphs where each vertex has exactly one out-neighbor. They are isomorphic classes of finite discrete-time dynamical systems. Endowed with the direct sum and product, functional digraphs form a…
