In this paper we show that the black-box polynomial identity testing for noncommutative polynomials $f\in\mathbb{F}\langle z_1,z_2,\cdots,z_n \rangle$ of degree $D$ and sparsity $t$, can be done in randomized $\poly(n,\log t,\log D)$ time.…

Finding the solutions to a system of multivariate polynomial equations is a fundamental problem in mathematics and computer science. It involves evaluating the polynomials at many points, often chosen from a grid. In most current methods,…

We give a {\em deterministic} algorithm for approximately computing the fraction of Boolean assignments that satisfy a degree-$2$ polynomial threshold function. Given a degree-2 input polynomial $p(x_1,\dots,x_n)$ and a parameter $\eps >…

We design a new, fast algorithm for agnostically learning univariate probability distributions whose densities are well approximated by piecewise polynomial functions. Let $f$ be the density function of an arbitrary univariate distribution,…

We consider an equation of multiple variables in which a partial derivative does not vanish at a point. The implicit function theorem provides a local existence and uniqueness of the function for the equation. In this paper, we propose an…

Let $f$ and $g$ be Boolean functions over a finite Abelian group $\mathcal{G}$, where $g$ is fully known, and we have {\em query access} to $f$, that is, given any $x \in \mathcal{G}$ we can get the value $f(x)$. We study the tolerant…

We study the problem of efficient PAC active learning of homogeneous linear classifiers (halfspaces) in $\mathbb{R}^d$, where the goal is to learn a halfspace with low error using as few label queries as possible. Under the extra assumption…

Robust mean estimation is one of the most important problems in statistics: given a set of samples in $\mathbb{R}^d$ where an $\alpha$ fraction are drawn from some distribution $D$ and the rest are adversarially corrupted, we aim to…

We prove that, to compute a Boolean function $f$ on $N$ variables with error probability $\epsilon$, any quantum black-box algorithm has to query at least $\frac{1 - 2\sqrt{\epsilon}}{2} \rho_f N = \frac{1 - 2\sqrt{\epsilon}}{2} \bar{S}_f$…

Given a straight-line program whose output is a polynomial function of the inputs, we present a new algorithm to compute a concise representation of that unknown function. Our algorithm can handle any case where the unknown function is a…

Given a zero-dimensional ideal I in K[x1,...,xn] of degree D, the transformation of the ordering of its Groebner basis from DRL to LEX is a key step in polynomial system solving and turns out to be the bottleneck of the whole solving…

We introduce a novel algorithm that computes the $k$-sparse principal component of a positive semidefinite matrix $A$. Our algorithm is combinatorial and operates by examining a discrete set of special vectors lying in a low-dimensional…

A polynomial matrix inequality is a formula asserting that a polynomial matrix is positive semidefinite. Polynomial matrix optimization concerns minimizing the smallest eigenvalue of a symmetric polynomial matrix subject to a tuple of…

In this paper, we propose two new interpolation algorithms for sparse multivariate polynomials represented by a straight-line program(SLP). Both of our algorithms work over any finite fields $F_q$ with large characteristic. The first one is…

We present a probabilistic algorithm to compute the product of two univariate sparse polynomials over a field with a number of bit operations that is quasi-linear in the size of the input and the output. Our algorithm works for any field of…

This paper considers fast algorithms for operations on linearized polynomials. We propose a new multiplication algorithm for skew polynomials (a generalization of linearized polynomials) which has sub-quadratic complexity in the polynomial…

In high-dimensional settings, sparse structures are critical for efficiency in term of memory and computation complexity. For a linear system, to find the sparsest solution provided with an over-complete dictionary of features directly is…

We prove that for polynomials $f, g, h \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ satisfying $f = gh$ and $f(0) \neq 0$, the $\ell_2$-norm of the cofactor $h$ is bounded by $\|h\|_2 \leq \|f\|_1 \cdot\left( \widetilde{O}\left(\|g\|_0^3 \frac{\text{deg…

Analyzing large sparse electrical networks is a fundamental task in physics, electrical engineering and computer science. We propose two classes of quantum algorithms for this task. The first class is based on solving linear systems, and…
