Choiceless Polynomial Time (CPT) is one of the few remaining candidate logics for capturing PTIME. In this paper, we make progress towards separating CPT from polynomial time by firstly establishing a connection between the expressive power…

We show that there is no $2^{o(k^2)} n^{O(1)}$ time algorithm for Independent Set on $n$-vertex graphs with rank-width $k$, unless the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH) fails. Our lower bound matches the $2^{O(k^2)} n^{O(1)}$ time algorithm…

We show that the computational problem CONSENSUS-HALVING is PPA-complete, the first PPA-completeness result for a problem whose definition does not involve an explicit circuit. We also show that an approximate version of this problem is…

For a large class of optimization problems, namely those that can be expressed as finite-valued constraint satisfaction problems (VCSPs), we establish a dichotomy on the number of levels of the Lasserre hierarchy of semi-definite programs…

In this paper we generalize N-fold integer programs and two-stage integer programs with N scenarios to N-fold 4-block decomposable integer programs. We show that for fixed blocks but variable N, these integer programs are polynomial-time…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group and $A$ be a subset of $G \times G$ which is corner--free, meaning that there are no $x, y \in G$ and $d \in G \setminus \{0\}$ such that $(x, y)$, $(x+d, y)$, $(x, y+d) \in A$. We prove that \[|A| \le…

We study the termination problem for nondeterministic recursive probabilistic programs. First, we show that a ranking-supermartingales-based approach is both sound and complete for bounded terminiation (i.e., bounded expected termination…

We present in this paper a result about existence and convexity of solutions to a free boundary problem of Bernoulli type, with non constant gradient boundary constraint depending on the outer unit normal. In particular we prove that, in…

Consider the action of a connected complex reductive group on a finite-dimensional vector space. A fundamental result in invariant theory states that the orbit closure of a vector v is separated from the origin if and only if some…

In this paper we consider a class of nonlinear periodic differential systems perturbed by two nonlinear periodic terms with multiplicative different powers of a small parameter $e>0$. For such a class of systems we provide conditions which…

Assuming the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH), a result of Marx (ToC'10) implies that there is no $f(k)\cdot n^{o(k/\log k)}$ time algorithm that can solve 2-CSPs with $k$ constraints (over a domain of arbitrary large size $n$) for any…

We present several sparsification lower and upper bounds for classic problems in graph theory and logic. For the problems 4-Coloring, (Directed) Hamiltonian Cycle, and (Connected) Dominating Set, we prove that there is no polynomial-time…

We establish the existence of weak solutions of coupled systems of elliptic partial differential equations with quasimonotone nonlinearities in the domain interior and on the boundary. When the nonlinearities satisfy some monotonicity…

We show that any submodular minimization (SM) problem defined on a linear constraint set with constraints having up to two variables per inequality, are 2-approximable in polynomial time. If the constraints are monotone (the two variables…

This paper proves that non-convex quadratically constrained quadratic programs can be solved in polynomial time when their underlying graph is acyclic, provided the constraints satisfy a certain technical condition. When this condition is…

Overdamped stochastic systems maintained far from equilibrium can display sustained oscillations with fluctuations that decrease with the system size. The correlation time of such noisy limit cycles expressed in units of the cycle period is…

Consider a homogeneous polynomial $p(z_1,...,z_n)$ of degree $n$ in $n$ complex variables . Assume that this polynomial satisfies the property : \\ $|p(z_1,...,z_n)| \geq \prod_{1 \leq i \leq n} Re(z_i)$ on the domain $\{(z_1,...,z_n) :…

We investigate the consequences of the existence of ``efficiently describable'' hitting sets for polynomial sized algebraic circuit ($\mathsf{VP}$), in particular, \emph{$\mathsf{VP}$-succinct hitting sets}. Existence of such hitting sets…

We prove a non-linear Edelstein-Kelly theorem for polynomials of constant degree, fully settling a stronger form of Conjecture 30 in Gupta (2014), and generalizing the main result of Peleg and Shpilka (STOC 2021) from quadratic polynomials…

We consider small nonlinear perturbations of linear systems on a time scale with the phase space being finite or infinite-dimensional. For $\Delta$-differential operators, corresponding to linear dynamic systems we consider their…
