In this paper, a class of optimization problems with nonlinear inequality constraints is discussed. Based on the ideas of sequential quadratic programming algorithm and the method of strongly sub-feasible directions, a new superlinearly…
We present a divide-and-conquer version of the Cylindrical Algebraic Decomposition (CAD) algorithm. The algorithm represents the input as a Boolean combination of subformulas, computes cylindrical algebraic decompositions of solution sets…
Given an orthogonal polygon $ P $ with $ n $ vertices, the goal of the watchman route problem is finding a path $ S $ of the minimum length in $ P $ such that every point of the polygon $ P $ is visible from at least one of the point of $ S…
Determining visibility in planar polygons and arrangements is an important subroutine for many algorithms in computational geometry. In this paper, we report on new implementations, and corresponding experimental evaluations, for two…
In this paper, we consider the optimization problem Submodular Cover (SCP), which is to find a minimum cardinality subset of a finite universe $U$ such that the value of a submodular function $f$ is above an input threshold $\tau$. In…
Based on the column pivoted QR decomposition, we propose some randomized algorithms including pass-efficient ones for the generalized CUR decompositions of matrix pair and matrix triplet. Detailed error analyses of these algorithms are…
In this paper we provide a method of finding possible numbers of shortest paths between two points in a space of compact sets in Euclidean space with Hausdorff distance. We also prove that there cannot be some of the numbers of shortest…
Shortest-path roadmaps, also known as reduced visibility graphs, provides a highly efficient multi-query method for computing optimal paths in two-dimensional environments. Combined with Minkowski sum computations, shortest-path roadmaps…
Back in the Eighties, Heath showed that every 3-planar graph is subhamiltonian and asked whether this result can be extended to a class of graphs of degree greater than three. In this paper we affirmatively answer this question for the…
Suppose some objects are hidden in a finite set $S$ of hiding places which must be examined one-by-one. The cost of searching subsets of $S$ is given by a submodular function and the probability that all objects are contained in a subset is…
We present in this paper several improvements for computing shortest path maps using OpenGL shaders. The approach explores GPU rasterization as a way to propagate optimal costs on a polygonal 2D environment, producing shortest path maps…
We present a new method for solving the hidden polynomial graph problem (HPGP) which is a special case of the hidden polynomial problem (HPP). The new approach yields an efficient quantum algorithm for the bivariate HPGP even when the input…
We present subquadratic algorithms in the algebraic decision-tree model for several \textsc{3Sum}-hard geometric problems, all of which can be reduced to the following question: Given two sets $A$, $B$, each consisting of $n$ pairwise…
In this paper we study a variant of the shortest path problem in graphs: given a weighted graph G and vertices s and t, and given a set X of forbidden paths in G, find a shortest s-t path P such that no path in X is a subpath of P. Path P…
This paper presents an algorithmic framework for the minimization of strictly convex quadratic functions. The framework is flexible and generic. At every iteration the search direction is a linear combination of the negative gradient, as…
We consider a suboptimal solution path algorithm for the Support Vector Machine. The solution path algorithm is an effective tool for solving a sequence of a parametrized optimization problems in machine learning. The path of the solutions…
We study efficient combinatorial algorithms to produce the Hasse diagram of the poset of bounded faces of an unbounded polyhedron, given vertex-facet incidences. We also discuss the special case of simple polyhedra and present computational…
ConicCurv is a new derivative-free algorithm to estimate the curvature of a plane curve from a sample of data points. It is based on a known tangent estimator method grounded on classic results of Projective Geometry and B\'ezier rational…
In recent years, parameterized quantum circuits have become a major tool to design quantum algorithms for optimization problems. The challenge in fully taking advantage of a given family of parameterized circuits lies in finding a good set…
In this paper we report on an application of computer algebra in which mathematical puzzles are generated of a type that had been widely used in mathematics contests by a large number of participants worldwide. The algorithmic aspect of our…
