We show that the problem to decide whether two (convex) polytopes, given by their vertex-facet incidences, are combinatorially isomorphic is graph isomorphism complete, even for simple or simplicial polytopes. On the other hand, we give a…

A new algorithm for computing a point on a polynomial or rational curve in B\'{e}zier form is proposed. The method has a geometric interpretation and uses only convex combinations of control points. The new algorithm's computational…

Let $(b,u)$ be a pair consisting of a symplectic form $b$ on a finite-dimensional vector space $V$ over a field $\mathbb{F}$, and of a $b$-alternating endomorphism $u$ of $V$ (i.e. $b(x,u(x))=0$ for all $x$ in $V$). Let $p$ and $q$ be…

We study solutions of a homogeneous quadratic equation $q(x_0,\dots, x_n)=0$, defined over a field $K$, where the $x_i$ are themselves homogeneous polynomials of some degree $d$ in $r+1$ variables. Equivalently, we are looking at rational…

We discuss criteria for the nonexistence, existence and computation of invariant algebraic surfaces for three-dimensional complex polynomial vector fields, thus transferring a classical problem of Poincar\'e from dimension two to dimension…

We propose a randomized polynomial time algorithm for computing nontrivial zeros of quadratic forms in 4 or more variables over $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$, where $\mathbb{F}_q$ is a finite field of odd characteristic. The algorithm is based on a…

The truncated moment problem consists of determining whether a given finitedimensional vector of real numbers y is obtained by integrating a basis of the vector space of polynomials of bounded degree with respect to a non-negative measure…

We consider the problem of testing, for a given set of planar regions $\cal R$ and an integer $k$, whether there exists a convex shape whose boundary intersects at least $k$ regions of $\cal R$. We provide a polynomial time algorithm for…

It is shown that, given a representation of a quiver over a finite field, one can check in polynomial time whether it is absolutely indecomposable.

Choose a polynomial in three variables with not more than three or four monomials of moderate degree. Take simple coefficients as 1 and -1. Then draw a picture of the solution variety in real three space using a ray-tracing program like…

Given a quadratic map Q : K^n -> K^k defined over a computable subring D of a real closed field K, and a polynomial p(Y_1,...,Y_k) of degree d, we consider the zero set Z=Z(p(Q(X)),K^n) of the polynomial p(Q(X_1,...,X_n)). We present a…

We consider the nonlinear integer programming problem of minimizing a quadratic function over the integer points in variable dimension satisfying a system of linear inequalities. We show that when the Graver basis of the matrix defining the…

We present subquadratic algorithms, in the algebraic decision-tree model of computation, for detecting whether there exists a triple of points, belonging to three respective sets $A$, $B$, and $C$ of points in the plane, that satisfy a…

This is a survey on algorithmic questions about combinatorial and geometric properties of convex polytopes. We give a list of 35 problems; for each the current state of knowledege on its theoretical complexity status is reported. The…

An abstract indefinite least squares problem with a quadratic constraint is considered. This is a quadratic programming problem with one quadratic equality constraint, where neither the objective nor the constraint are convex functions.…

We consider the quadratic optimization problem $\max_{x \in C}\ x^T Q x + q^T x$, where $C\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n$ is a box and $r := \mathrm{rank}(Q)$ is assumed to be $\mathcal{O}(1)$ (i.e., fixed). We show that this case can be solved in…

We study in an unified fashion several quadratic vector and matrix equations with nonnegativity hypotheses. Specific cases of such problems (QBD equations, nonsymmetric algebraic Riccati equations, Lu's simple equation, Markovian binary…

Let $b$ be a symmetric bilinear form on a finite-dimensional vector space over a field with characteristic $2$. Here, we determine the greatest possible dimension of a linear subspace of nilpotent $b$-symmetric or $b$-alternating…

We study convex optimization problems where disjoint blocks of variables are controlled by binary indicator variables that are also subject to conditions, e.g., cardinality. Several classes of important examples can be formulated in such a…

This article proposes a bivariate polynomial problem for finite-order real matrices that endows a \textit{`sufficient condition'} for a map from the standard vector spaces of finite-order real matrices to the same dimensional bivariate…
