We study the exact counting problem for all lattice rectangles contained in the square $[0,n)\times[0,n)$, including non-axis-parallel ones. Starting from the standard parametrization by a primitive direction $(u,v)$ and two side lengths,…
Lattices with minimal normalized second moments are designed using a new numerical optimization algorithm. Starting from a random lower-triangular generator matrix and applying stochastic gradient descent, all elements are updated towards…
We survey the main formulations and solution methods for two-dimensional orthogonal cutting and packing problems, where both items and bins are rectangles. We focus on exact methods and relaxations for the four main problems from the…
We give efficient quantum algorithms to estimate the partition function of (i) the six vertex model on a two-dimensional (2D) square lattice, (ii) the Ising model with magnetic fields on a planar graph, (iii) the Potts model on a quasi 2D…
The present work surveys problems in $n$-dimensional space with $n$ large. Early development in the study of packing and covering in high dimensions was motivated by the geometry of numbers. Subsequent results, such as the discovery of the…
Lattice rules are among the most prominently studied quasi-Monte Carlo methods to approximate multivariate integrals. A rank-1 lattice rule to approximate an $s$-dimensional integral is fully specified by its generating vector $\mathbf{z}…
One of the basic problems in discrete geometry is to determine the most efficient packing of congruent replicas of a given convex set $K$ in the plane or in space. The most commonly used measure of efficiency is density. Several types of…
Many algorithms which exactly solve hard problems require branching on more or less complex structures in order to do their job. Those who design such algorithms often find themselves doing a meticulous analysis of numerous different cases…
George Voronoi (1908, 1909) introduced two important reduction methods for positive quadratic forms: the reduction with perfect forms, and the reduction with L-type domains, often called domains of Delaunay type. The first method is…
We give a deterministic 2^{O(n)} algorithm for computing an M-ellipsoid of a convex body, matching a known lower bound. This has several interesting consequences including improved deterministic algorithms for volume estimation of convex…
Many polytopes arising in polyhedral combinatorics are linear projections of higher-dimensional polytopes with significantly fewer facets. Such lifts may yield compressed representations of polytopes, which are typically used to construct…
Finding the densest sphere packing in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$ is an outstanding fundamental problem with relevance in many fields, including the ground states of molecular systems, colloidal crystal structures, coding…
Optimal geometrical arrangements, such as the stacking of atoms, are of relevance in diverse disciplines. A classic problem is the determination of the optimal arrangement of spheres in three dimensions in order to achieve the highest…
We consider the problem of revealing a small hidden lattice from the knowledge of a low-rank sublattice modulo a given sufficiently large integer -- the {\em Hidden Lattice Problem}. A central motivation of study for this problem is the…
We give a deterministic algorithm for solving the (1+eps)-approximate Closest Vector Problem (CVP) on any n dimensional lattice and any norm in 2^{O(n)}(1+1/eps)^n time and 2^n poly(n) space. Our algorithm builds on the lattice point…
Positive linear programs (LP), also known as packing and covering linear programs, are an important class of problems that bridges computer science, operations research, and optimization. Despite the consistent efforts on this problem, all…
We give a quantum algorithm for solving the Bounded Distance Decoding (BDD) problem with a subexponential approximation factor on a class of integer lattices. The quantum algorithm uses a well-known but challenging-to-use quantum state on…
In this letter, we propose a Voronoi shaping method with reduced encoding complexity. The method works for integer shaping and coding lattices satisfying the chain $\Lambda_s \subseteq \textbf{K}\mathbb{Z}^n \subseteq \Lambda_c$, with…
The main problem considered in this paper is construction and theoretical study of efficient $n$-point coverings of a $d$-dimensional cube $[-1,1]^d$. Targeted values of $d$ are between 5 and 50; $n$ can be in hundreds or thousands and the…
Recently, there has been increasing interest and progress in improvising the approximation algorithm for well-known NP-Complete problems, particularly the approximation algorithm for the Vertex-Cover problem. Here we have proposed a…
