Multi-homogeneous polynomial systems arise in many applications. We provide bit complexity estimates for solving them which, up to a few extra other factors, are quadratic in the number of solutions and linear in the height of the input…

We complete the complexity classification by degree of minimizing a polynomial over the integer points in a polyhedron in $\mathbb{R}^2$. Previous work shows that optimizing a quadratic polynomial over the integer points in a polyhedral…

We introduce a "workable" notion of degree for non-homogeneous polynomial ideals and formulate and prove ideal theoretic B\'ezout Inequalities for the sum of two ideals in terms of this notion of degree and the degree of generators. We…

In this paper, we compute the tightest possible bounds on the probability that the optimal value of a combinatorial optimization problem in maximization form with a random objective exceeds a given number, assuming only knowledge of the…

We continue the study of counting complexity begun in [Buergisser, Cucker 04] and [Buergisser, Cucker, Lotz 05] by proving upper and lower bounds on the complexity of computing the Hilbert polynomial of a homogeneous ideal. We show that the…

Numerical homogenization, i.e. the finite-dimensional approximation of solution spaces of PDEs with arbitrary rough coefficients, requires the identification of accurate basis elements. These basis elements are oftentimes found after a…

We consider linear problems in the worst case setting. That is, given a linear operator and a pool of admissible linear measurements, we want to approximate the values of the operator uniformly on a convex and balanced set by means of…

In this paper we present a collection of results pertaining to haplotyping. The first set of results concerns the combinatorial problem of reconstructing haplotypes from incomplete and/or imperfectly sequenced haplotype data. More…

An NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem $\Pi$ is said to have an {\em approximation threshold} if there is some $t$ such that the optimal value of $\Pi$ can be approximated in polynomial time within a ratio of $t$, and it is NP-hard…

Bezout's theorem gives us the degree of intersection of two properly intersecting projective varieties. As two curves in P^3 never intersect properly, Bezout's theorem cannot be directly used to bound the number of intersection points of…

We propose a method to compute the numerical solutions of a polynomial system in complete intersection. This algorithm makes use of Bezout matrices and need only linear algebra computations. All the calculations can be done in floating…

In this paper, we develop two variants of Bezout subresultant formulas for several polynomials, i.e., hybrid Bezout subresultant polynomial and non-homogeneous Bezout subresultant polynomial. Rather than simply extending the variants of…

In a multiobjective optimization problem a solution is called Pareto-optimal if no criterion can be improved without deteriorating at least one of the other criteria. Computing the set of all Pareto-optimal solutions is a common task in…

Combinatorial optimization can be described as the problem of finding a feasible subset that maximizes a objective function. The paper discusses combinatorial optimization problems, where for each dimension the set of feasible subsets is…

Several algorithms have been proposed to compute partitions of networks into communities that score high on a graph clustering index called modularity. While publications on these algorithms typically contain experimental evaluations to…

We consider the problem of approximating the reachable set of a discrete-time polynomial system from a semialgebraic set of initial conditions under general semialgebraic set constraints. Assuming inclusion in a given simple set like a box…

Finding a low-weight multiple (LWPM) of a given polynomial is very useful in the cryptanalysis of stream ciphers and arithmetic in finite fields. There is no known deterministic polynomial time complexity algorithm for solving this problem,…

Computing an optimal cycle in a given homology class, also referred to as the homology localization problem, is known to be an NP-hard problem in general. Furthermore, there is currently no known optimality criterion that localizes classes…

Maximum bipartite matching is a fundamental algorithmic problem which can be solved in polynomial time. We consider a natural variant in which there is a separation constraint: the vertices on one side lie on a path or a grid, and two…

We consider the hardness of approximation of optimization problems from the point of view of definability. For many NP-hard optimization problems it is known that, unless P = NP, no polynomial-time algorithm can give an approximate solution…
