Polynomial optimization problems represent a wide class of optimization problems, with a large number of real-world applications. Current approaches for polynomial optimization, such as the sum of squares (SOS) method, rely on large-scale…

We show that the decision problem for the basic system of interpretability logic IL is PSPACE-complete. For this purpose we present an algorithm which uses polynomial space with respect to the complexity of a given formula. The existence of…

This paper introduces and studies a new model of computation called an Alternating Automatic Register Machine (AARM). An AARM possesses the basic features of a conventional register machine and an alternating Turing machine, but can carry…

In this article we consider the inversion problem for polynomially computable discrete functions. These functions describe behavior of many discrete systems and are used in model checking, hardware verification, cryptanalysis, computer…

Here we study the NP-complete $K$-SAT problem. Although the worst-case complexity of NP-complete problems is conjectured to be exponential, there exist parametrized random ensembles of problems where solutions can typically be found in…

We examine a parameterized complexity class for randomized computation where only the error bound and not the full runtime is allowed to depend more than polynomially on the parameter, based on a proposal by Kwisthout in [15,16]. We prove…

Initiated by Mulmuley, Vazirani, and Vazirani (1987), many algebraic algorithms have been developed for matching and related problems. In this paper, we review basic facts and discuss possible improvements with the aid of fast computation…

In this paper, we introduce a methodology, called decomposition-based reductions, for showing the equivalence among various problems of bounded-width. First, we show that the following are equivalent for any $\alpha > 0$: * SAT can be…

Correspondence is a ubiquitous problem in computer vision and graph matching has been a natural way to formalize correspondence as an optimization problem. Recently, graph matching solvers have included higher-order terms representing…

We present a PSPACE algorithm that decides satisfiability of the graded modal logic Gr(K_R)---a natural extension of propositional modal logic K_R by counting expressions---which plays an important role in the area of knowledge…

We consider the matching augmentation problem (MAP), where a matching of a graph needs to be extended into a $2$-edge-connected spanning subgraph by adding the minimum number of edges to it. We present a polynomial-time algorithm with an…

We present a new algorithm for solving a polynomial program P based on the recent "joint + marginal" approach of the first author for, parametric optimization. The idea is to first consider the variable x1 as a parameter and solve the…

We prove that P = NP implies #P = FP by exploiting the topological structure of 3SAT solution spaces. The argument proceeds via a dichotomy: any polynomial-time algorithm for 3SAT either operates without global knowledge of the…

The question of whether all problems in NP class are also in P class is generally considered one of the most important open questions in mathematics and theoretical computer science as it has far-reaching consequences to other problems in…

In this article, we show that the completion problem, i.e. the decision problem whether a partial structure can be completed to a full structure, is NP-complete for many combinatorial structures. While the gadgets for most reductions in…

{Let ${\Cal X}$ be a self-dual P-polynomial association scheme. Then there are at most 12 diagonal matrices $T$ such that $(PT)^3=I$. Moreover, all of the solutions for the classical infinite families of such schemes (including the Hamming…

We analyze a probabilistic algorithm for matching shapes modeled by planar regions under translations and rigid motions (rotation and translation). Given shapes $A$ and $B$, the algorithm computes a transformation $t$ such that with high…

This paper presents the following results on sets that are complete for NP. 1. If there is a problem in NP that requires exponential time at almost all lengths, then every many-one NP-complete set is complete under length-increasing…

A local approach to the time integration of PDEs by exponential methods is proposed, motivated by theoretical estimates by A.Iserles on the decay of off-diagonal terms in the exponentials of sparse matrices. An overlapping domain…

This article presents counter examples for three articles claiming that P=NP. Articles for which it applies are: Moustapha Diaby "P = NP: Linear programming formulation of the traveling salesman problem" and "Equality of complexity classes…
