Interpreting three-leaf binary trees or {\em rooted triples} as constraints yields an entailment relation, whereby binary trees satisfying some rooted triples must also thus satisfy others, and thence a closure operator, which is known to…

Given a polynomial ring $P$ over a field $K$, an element $g \in P$, and a $K$-subalgebra $S$ of $P$, we deal with the problem of saturating $S$ with respect to $g$, i.e. computing $Sat_g(S) = S[g, g^{-1}]\cap P$. In the general case we…

The (classical) problem of characterizing and enumerating permutations that can be sorted using two stacks connected in series is still largely open. In the present paper we address a related problem, in which we impose restrictions both on…

In the Colored Bin Packing problem a set of items with varying weights and colors must be packed into bins of uniform weight limit such that no two items of the same color may be packed adjacently within a bin. We solve this problem for the…

We prove polynomial-time solvability of a large class of clustering problems where a weighted set of items has to be partitioned into clusters with respect to some balancing constraints. The data points are weighted with respect to…

In this paper, we address the problem of computing the maximal admissible robust positive invariant (MARPI) set for discrete-time linear time-varying systems with parametric uncertainties and additive disturbances. The system state and…

This article investigates the splitting problem for finitely generated projective modules $P$ over affine algebras over algebraically closed fields and their polynomial extensions. We then address an open question due to M. Roitman on monic…

There is a natural map from a symmetric group $S_n$ to a smaller symmetric group $S_{n-1}$, we write a decomposition of a permutation into a product of disjoint cycles and remove the element $n$ from this expression. For this reason there…

Many matching, tracking, sorting, and ranking problems require probabilistic reasoning about possible permutations, a set that grows factorially with dimension. Combinatorial optimization algorithms may enable efficient point estimation,…

The scaling theory of irreversible aggregation is discussed in some detail. First, we review the general theory in the simplest case of binary reactions. We then extend consideration to ternary reactions, multispecies aggregation,…

Let $S_n$ be the symmetric group on the set $[n]:=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. Given a permutation $\sigma=\sigma_1\sigma_2 \cdots \sigma_n \in S_n$, we say it has a descent at index $i$ if $\sigma_i>\sigma_{i+1}$. Let $\mathcal{D}(\sigma)$ be the…

The (\textsc{Weighted}) \textsc{Subset Feedback Vertex Set} problem is a generalization of the classical \textsc{Feedback Vertex Set} problem and asks for a vertex set of minimum (weighted) size that intersects all cycles containing a…

In this paper we consider the problem of bounding the Betti numbers, $b_i(S)$, of a semi-algebraic set $S \subset \R^k$ defined by polynomial inequalities $P_1 \geq 0,...,P_s \geq 0$, where $P_i \in \R[X_1,...,X_k]$ and $\deg(P_i) \leq 2$,…

In this paper, we formulate the outfit completion problem as a set retrieval task and propose a novel framework for solving this problem. The proposal includes a conditional set transformation architecture with deep neural networks and a…

We report a numerical calculation of the total number of disordered jammed configurations $\Omega$ of $N$ repulsive, three-dimensional spheres in a fixed volume $V$. To make these calculations tractable, we increase the computational…

This paper introduces a novel approach for learning polynomial representations of physical objects. Given a point cloud data set associated with a physical object, we solve a one-class classification problem to bound the data points by a…

We consider the number of passes a permutation needs to take through a stack if we only pop the appropriate output values and start over with the remaining entries in their original order. We define a permutation $\pi$ to be $k$-pass…

Consider the classical Bin Packing problem with $d$ different item sizes $s_i$ and amounts of items $a_i.$ The support of a Bin Packing solution is the number of differently filled bins. In this work, we show that the lower bound on the…

We study the problem of determining whether a given frame is scalable, and when it is, understanding the set of all possible scalings. We show that for most frames this is a relatively simple task in that the frame is either not scalable or…

It is well known that the containment problem (as well as the equivalence problem) for semilinear sets is $\log$-complete in $\Pi_2^p$. It had been shown quite recently that already the containment problem for multi-dimensional linear sets…
