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…

The paper addresses the calculation of correlation functions of permanental polynomials of matrices with random entries. By exploiting a convenient contour integral representation of the matrix permanent some explicit results are provided…

The generalized composition graph is used by Cardoso and some researchers for factorization of the adjacency spectrum and Laplacian of a simple graph. Because the generalized composition graph is an example of a set-theoretic linear operad,…

We use two variational techniques to prove upper bounds for sums of the lowest several eigenvalues of matrices associated with finite, simple, combinatorial graphs. These include estimates for the adjacency matrix of a graph and for both…

We describe the minimal free resolution of the ideal of $2 \times 2$ subpermanents of a $2 \times n$ generic matrix $M$. In contrast to the case of $2 \times 2$ determinants, the $2 \times 2$ permanents define an ideal which is neither…

We propose a systematic method for analyzing Rohrlich-type divisor sums for arbitrary congruence subgroups $\Gamma_0(N)$. Our main theorem unifies various results from the literature, and its significance is illustrated through the…

We present the first algorithm for generating random variates exactly uniformly from the set of perfect matchings of a bipartite graph with a polynomial expected running time over a nontrivial set of graphs. Previous Markov chain approaches…

Perturbing a deterministic $n$-dimensional matrix with small Gaussian noise is a cornerstone of smoothed analysis of algorithms [Spielman and Teng, JACM 2004], as it reduces the condition number of the input to $O(n)$, and with it the…

The permanent of a square matrix is defined in a way similar to the determinant, but without using signs. The exact computation of the permanent is hard, but there are Monte-Carlo algorithms that can estimate general permanents. Given a…

We derive new results for the performance of a simple greedy algorithm for finding large independent sets and matchings in constant degree regular graphs. We show that for $r$-regular graphs with $n$ nodes and girth at least $g$, the…

We present an algorithm that computes the girth of the intersection graph of $n$ given line segments in the plane in $O(n^{1.483})$ expected time. This is the first such algorithm with $O(n^{3/2-\varepsilon})$ running time for a positive…

We develop an accelerated gradient descent algorithm on the Grassmann manifold to compute the subspace spanned by a number of leading eigenvectors of a symmetric positive semi-definite matrix. This has a constant cost per iteration and a…

The Kruithof iterative scaling process, which adjusts matrices to meet target row and column sums, is a longstanding problem that lacks a general closed form for its limit. While Nathanson derived the closed form for the Sinkhorn limit of…

We describe an effective method for calculating certain infinite sums, generalizations of the classical Bernoulli polynomials. As shown by Edward Witten in his papers on two-dimensional gauge theories, the correlation functions of…

This expository note presents simplifications of a theorem due to Gy\H{o}ri and an algorithm due to Franzblau and Kleitman: Given a family $F$ of $m$ intervals on a linearly ordered set of $n$ elements, we can construct in $O(m+n)^2$ steps…

We consider polygon and simplex equations, of which the simplest nontrivial examples are pentagon (5-gon) and Yang--Baxter (2-simplex), respectively. We examine the general structure of (2n+1)-gon and 2n-simplex equations in direct sums of…

We present in this paper first-order alternating linearization algorithms based on an alternating direction augmented Lagrangian approach for minimizing the sum of two convex functions. Our basic methods require at most $O(1/\epsilon)$…

We present a collection of new results on problems related to 3SUM, including: 1. The first truly subquadratic algorithm for $\ \ \ \ \ $ 1a. computing the (min,+) convolution for monotone increasing sequences with integer values bounded by…

We consider two kinds of problems: the computation of polynomial and rational solutions of linear recurrences with coefficients that are polynomials with integer coefficients; indefinite and definite summation of sequences that are…

We give a simple proof of a well-known theorem of G\'al and of the recent related results of Aistleitner, Berkes and Seip [1] regarding the size of GCD sums. In fact, our method obtains the asymptotically sharp constant in G\'al's theorem,…
