Solving polynomial equations is a subtask of polynomial optimization. This article introduces systems of such equations and the main approaches for solving them. We discuss critical point equations, algebraic varieties, and solution counts.…

We observe that a large part of the volume of a hyperbolic polyhedron is taken by a tubular neighbourhood of its boundary, and use this to give a new proof for the finiteness of arithmetic maximal reflection groups following a recent work…

By viewing non-commutative polynomials, that is, elements in free associative algebras, in terms of linear representations, we generalize Horner's rule to the non-commutative (multivariate) setting. We introduce the concept of Horner…

We give formulas for the multiplicity of any affine isolated zero of a generic polynomial system of n equations in n unknowns with prescribed sets of monomials. First, we consider sets of supports such that the origin is an isolated root of…

We introduce the simple extension complexity of a polytope P as the smallest number of facets of any simple (i.e., non-degenerate in the sense of linear programming) polytope which can be projected onto P. We devise a combinatorial method…

Numerical nonlinear algebra is a computational paradigm that uses numerical analysis to study polynomial equations. Its origins were methods to solve systems of polynomial equations based on the classical theorem of B\'ezout. This was…

The motivation of this work stems from the numerical approximation of bounded functions by polynomials satisfying the same bounds. The present contribution makes use of the recent algebraic characterization found in [B. Despr\'es, Numer.…

Deciding whether the union of two convex polyhedra is itself a convex polyhedron is a basic problem in polyhedral computations; having important applications in the field of constrained control and in the synthesis, analysis, verification…

In this work we prove constructively that the complement ${\mathbb R}^n\setminus{\mathcal K}$ of an $n$-dimensional unbounded convex polyhedron ${\mathcal K}\subset{\mathbb R}^n$ and the complement ${\mathbb R}^n\setminus{\rm Int}({\mathcal…

The aims of this article are two-fold. First, we give a geometric characterization of the optimal basic solutions of the general linear programming problem (no compactness assumptions) and provide a simple, self-contained proof of it…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be the subdivision of $\mathbb{R}^d$ induced by $m$ convex polyhedra having $n$ facets in total. We prove that $\mathcal{A}$ has combinatorial complexity $O(m^{\lceil d/2 \rceil} n^{\lfloor d/2 \rfloor})$ and that this…

In this paper, we discuss tensegrity from the perspective of nonlinear algebra in a manner accessible to undergraduates. We compute explicit examples and include the SAGE and Julia code so that readers can continue their own experiments and…

In this paper, we explore the merits of various algorithms for polynomial optimization problems, focusing on alternatives to sum of squares programming. While we refer to advantages and disadvantages of Quantifier Elimination, Reformulation…

We construct a convergent family of outer approximations for the problem of optimizing polynomial functions over convex bodies subject to polynomial constraints. This is achieved by generalizing the polarization hierarchy, which has…

We present a polyhedral algorithm to manipulate positive dimensional solution sets. Using facet normals to Newton polytopes as pretropisms, we focus on the first two terms of a Puiseux series expansion. The leading powers of the series are…

We describe constructions of extended formulations that establish a certain relaxed version of the Hirsch conjecture and prove that if there is a pivot rule for the simplex algorithm for which one can bound the number of steps by a…

We give formulas for the number of polynomials over a finite field with given root multiplicities, in particular in cases when the formula is surprisingly simple (a power of q). Besides this concrete interpretation, we also prove an…

We consider multivariable polynomials over a fixed number field, linear in some of the variables. For a system of such polynomials satisfying certain technical conditions we prove the existence of search bounds for simultaneous zeros with…

This work is concerned with different aspects of spectrahedra and their projections, sets that are important in semidefinite optimization. We prove results on the limitations of so called Lasserre and theta body relaxation methods for…

With respect to earlier investigations, the theory of multi-component, concentric, copolar, axisymmetric, rigidly rotating polytropes is improved and extended, including subsystems with nonzero density on the boundary and subsystems with…
