Static verification techniques leverage Boolean formula satisfiability solvers such as SAT and SMT solvers that operate on conjunctive normal form and first order logic formulae, respectively, to validate programs. They force bounds on…

Reliably determining system trajectories is essential in many analysis and control design approaches. To this end, an initial value problem has to be usually solved via numerical algorithms which rely on a certain software realization.…

Circuit polynomials are polynomials satisfying a number of conditions that make it easy to compute sharp and certifiable global lower bounds for them. Consequently, one may use them to find certifiable lower bounds for any polynomial by…

Verification methods based on SAT, SMT, and Theorem Proving often rely on proofs of unsatisfiability as a powerful tool to extract information in order to reduce the overall effort. For example a proof may be traversed to identify a minimal…

The poset cover problem seeks a minimum set of partial orders whose linear extensions cover a given set of linear orders. Recognizing its NP-completeness, we devised a non-trivial reduction to the Boolean satisfiability problem using a…

The Circuit Satisfiability (CSAT) problem, a variant of the Boolean Satisfiability (SAT) problem, plays a critical role in integrated circuit design and verification. However, existing SAT solvers, optimized for Conjunctive Normal Form…

A fundamental problem in program verification concerns the termination of simple linear loops of the form x := u ; while Bx >= b do {x := Ax + a} where x is a vector of variables, u, a, and c are integer vectors, and A and B are integer…

Nonlinear matrix equations arise in many practical contexts related to control theory, dynamical programming and finite element methods for solving some partial differential equations. In most of these applications, it is needed to compute…

Linear programming approaches have been applied to derive upper bounds on the size of classical codes and quantum codes. In this paper, we derive similar results for general quantum codes with entanglement assistance, including nonadditive…

As a follow up to \cite{Causley2013}, we provide a detailed description of the numerical implementation of an O(N), A-stable, second order accurate solution of the wave equation, constructed from semi-discrete boundary value problems. We…

The problem of finding code distance has been long studied for the generic ensembles of linear codes and led to several algorithms that substantially reduce exponential complexity of this task. However, no asymptotic complexity bounds are…

We proposed in this paper a new method, which we named the W4 method, to solve nonlinear equation systems. It may be regarded as an extension of the Newton-Raphson~(NR) method to be used when the method fails. Indeed our method can be…

We prove a simple, nearly tight lower bound on the approximate degree of the two-level $\mathsf{AND}$-$\mathsf{OR}$ tree using symmetrization arguments. Specifically, we show that $\widetilde{\mathrm{deg}}(\mathsf{AND}_m \circ…

We present in this work a complete session in a Mathematica notebook. The aim of this notebook is to check identities in symmetric compositions. This notebook is a complement of our work [1] and it has all the explicit computations. We…

For each integer $n$ we present an explicit formulation of a compact linear program, with $O(n^3)$ variables and constraints, which determines the satisfiability of any 2SAT formula with $n$ boolean variables by a single linear…

Over an algebraically closed field, we describe the affine varieties of solutions to the linear equations $a(xb)=c$ and $a(bx)=c$ over the split-octonions. We also determine the dimensions of the solution sets of arbitrary linear monomial…

We present a proof of polynomial identities related to finite analogues of the branching functions of the coset $\widehat{sl(n)_1} \otimes \widehat{sl(n)_1} / \widehat{sl(n)_2}$.

The problem of localizing a set of nodes from relative pairwise measurements is at the core of many applications such as Structure from Motion (SfM), sensor networks, and Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM). In practical…

Satisfiability (SAT) is a central problem in computer science, and advances in SAT-solving algorithms have a far-reaching impact across many fields. Recent works have proposed quantum SAT solvers based on Grover's algorithm, a quantum…

The coalgebraic $\mu$-calculus provides a generic semantic framework for fixpoint logics over systems whose branching type goes beyond the standard relational setup, e.g. probabilistic, weighted, or game-based. Previous work on the…
