The fuzzy $K$-means problem is a generalization of the classical $K$-means problem to soft clusterings, i.e. clusterings where each points belongs to each cluster to some degree. Although popular in practice, prior to this work the fuzzy…

For all natural numbers $N$ and prime numbers $p$, we find a knot $K$ whose skein polynomial $P_K(a,z)$ evaluated at $z=N$ has trivial reduction modulo $p$. An interesting consequence of our construction is that all polynomials $P_K(a,N)$…

This work presents formulas for the Kauffman bracket and Jones polynomials of 3-bridge knots using the structure of Chebyshev knots and their billiard table diagrams. In particular, these give far fewer terms than in the Skein relation…

This article presents a strongly polynomial-time algorithm for the general linear programming problem. This algorithm is an implicit reduction procedure that works as follows. Primal and dual problems are combined into a special system of…

The $k$'th frequency moment of a sequence of integers is defined as $F_k = \sum_j n_j^k$, where $n_j$ is the number of times that $j$ occurs in the sequence. Here we study the quantum complexity of approximately computing the frequency…

We study the query complexity of computing a function f:{0,1}^n-->R_+ in expectation. This requires the algorithm on input x to output a nonnegative random variable whose expectation equals f(x), using as few queries to the input x as…

The problem \textsc{Token Jumping} asks whether, given a graph $G$ and two independent sets of \emph{tokens} $I$ and $J$ of $G$, we can transform $I$ into $J$ by changing the position of a single token in each step and having an independent…

Quantum computers provide an opportunity to efficiently sample from probability distributions that include non-trivial interference effects between amplitudes. Using a simple process wherein all possible state histories can be specified by…

We study the behavior of the degree of the colored Jones polynomial and the boundary slopes of knots under the operation of cabling. We show that, under certain hypothesis on this degree, if a knot $K$ satisfies the Slope Conjecture then a…

We construct families of trivial $2$-knots $K_i$ in $\mathbb{R}^4$ such that the maximal complexity of $2$-knots in any isotopy connecting $K_i$ with the standard unknot grows faster than a tower of exponentials of any fixed height of the…

Knapsack is one of the most fundamental problems in theoretical computer science. In the $(1 - \epsilon)$-approximation setting, although there is a fine-grained lower bound of $(n + 1 / \epsilon) ^ {2 - o(1)}$ based on the $(\min,…

Let consider $n$ natural numbers $a\_1 ,\ldots , a\_{n} $. Let $S$ be the numerical semigroup generated by $a\_1 ,\ldots , a\_{n} $. Set $A=K[t^{a\_1}, \ldots , t^{a\_n}]=K[{x\_1}, \ldots , {x\_n}]/I$. The aim of this paper is:…

We consider the quantum complexities of the following three problems: searching an ordered list, sorting an un-ordered list, and deciding whether the numbers in a list are all distinct. Letting N be the number of elements in the input list,…

This paper begins with a class of convex quadratic programs (QPs) with bounded variables solvable by the parametric principal pivoting algorithm with $\mathcal{O}(n^3)$ strongly polynomial complexity, where $n$ is the number of variables of…

The problem of efficient multiplication of large numbers has been a long-standing challenge in classical computation and has been extensively studied for centuries. It appears that the existing classical algorithms are close to their…

Given two independent sets $I, J$ of a graph $G$, and imagine that a token (coin) is placed at each vertex of $I$. The Sliding Token problem asks if one could transform $I$ to $J$ via a sequence of elementary steps, where each step requires…

This paper considers the quantum query complexity of {\it $\eps$-biased oracles} that return the correct value with probability only $1/2 + \eps$. In particular, we show a quantum algorithm to compute $N$-bit OR functions with…

We present an algorithm for the following problem. Given a triangulated 3-manifold M and a (possibly non-simple) closed curve on the boundary of M, decide whether this curve is contractible in M. Our algorithm runs in space polynomial in…

In seeking out an algorithm to test out the capability of the IBM Quantum Experience quantum computer, we were given a review paper covering various algorithms for solving the subset-sum problem, including both classical and quantum…

We present in this paper two different classes of general $K$-splitting algorithms for solving finite-dimensional convex optimization problems. Under the assumption that the function being minimized has a Lipschitz continuous gradient, we…
