In their seminal work, Atserias et al. and independently Pipatsrisawat and Darwiche in 2009 showed that CDCL solvers can simulate resolution proofs with polynomial overhead. However, previous work does not address the tightness of the…
Representing a polygon using a set of simple shapes has numerous applications in different use-case scenarios. We consider the problem of covering the interior of a rectilinear polygon with holes by a set of area-weighted, axis-aligned…
The Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis (SETH) asserts that for every $\varepsilon>0$ there exists $k$ such that $k$-SAT requires time $(2-\varepsilon)^n$. The field of fine-grained complexity has leveraged SETH to prove quite tight…
We study combinatorial inequalities for various classes of set systems: matroids, polymatroids, poset antimatroids, and interval greedoids. We prove log-concavity inequalities for counting certain weighted feasible words, which generalize…
We present the applications of variation -- wavelet analysis to polynomial/rational approximations for orbital motion in transverse plane for a single particle in a circular magnetic lattice in case when we take into account multipolar…
The concept of representing a polytope that is associated with some combinatorial optimization problem as a linear projection of a higher-dimensional polyhedron has recently received increasing attention. In this paper (written for the…
We develop a constructive piecewise polynomial approximation theory in weighted Sobolev spaces with Muckenhoupt weights for any polynomial degree. The main ingredients to derive optimal error estimates for an averaged Taylor polynomial are…
The joint bidiagonalization process of a matrix pair $\{A,L\}$ can be used to develop iterative regularization algorithms for large scale ill-posed problems in general-form Tikhonov regularization…
We give elementary proof that theory $T^1_2(R)$ augmented by the weak pigeonhole principle for all $\Delta^b_1(R)$-definable relations does not prove the bijective pigeonhole principle for $R$. This can be derived from known more general…
This paper is concerned with the introduction of Tikhonov regularization into least squares approximation scheme on $[-1,1]$ by orthonormal polynomials, in order to handle noisy data. This scheme includes interpolation and…
The rigorous solution to the grating diffraction problem is a cornerstone step in many scientific fields and industrial applications ranging from the study of the fundamental properties of metasurfaces to the simulation of photolithography…
We study a new flexible method to extend linearly the graph of a non-linear, and usually not bijective, function so that the resulting extension is a bijection. Our motivation comes from cryptography. Examples from symmetric cryptography…
We introduce the polytope of pointed pseudo-triangulations of a point set in the plane, defined as the polytope of infinitesimal expansive motions of the points subject to certain constraints on the increase of their distances. Its…
With the goal of obtaining strong relaxations for binary polynomial optimization problems, we introduce the pseudo-Boolean polytope defined as the convex hull of the set of binary points satisfying a collection of equations containing…
A major open problem in proof complexity is to demonstrate that random 3-CNFs with a linear number of clauses require super-polynomial size refutations in bounded-depth Frege systems. We take the first step towards addressing this question…
Using methods developed in multivariate splines, we present an explicit formula for discrete truncated powers, which are defined as the number of non-negative integer solutions of linear Diophantine equations. We further use the formula to…
We give new lower bounds for the fragments of the Ideal Proof System (IPS) introduced by Grochow and Pitassi (JACM 2018). The Ideal Proof System is a central topic in algebraic proof complexity developed in the context of Nullstellensatz…
We provide a new approach for establishing hardness of approximation results, based on the theory recently introduced by the author. It allows one to directly show that approximating a problem beyond a certain threshold requires…
Any stretching of Ringel's non-Pappus pseudoline arrangement when projected into the Euclidean plane, implicitly contains a particular arrangement of nine triangles. This arrangement has a complex constraint involving the sines of its…
In this paper, we introduce the notion of augmentation for polytopes and use it to show the error in two presumptions that have been key in arriving at over-reaching/over-scoped claims of "impossibility" in recent extended formulations (EF)…
