We study systems of polynomial equations in several classes of finitely generated rings and algebras. For each ring $R$ (or algebra) in one of these classes we obtain an interpretation by systems of equations of a ring of integers $O$ of a…

Let $R$ be a local ring and $M,N$ be finitely generated $R$-modules. The complexity of $(M,N)$, denoted by $\cxx RMN$, measures the polynomial growth rate of the number of generators of the modules $\Ext nRMN$. In this paper we study…

Arithmetic circuit complexity studies the complexity of computing polynomials using only arithmetic operations such as addition, multiplication, subtraction, and division. Polynomials over rings of integers model counting problems.…

We study the complexity of graph problems on graphs defined on groups, especially power graphs. We observe that an isomorphism invariant problem, such as Hamiltonian Path, Partition into Cliques, Feedback Vertex Set, Subgraph Isomorphism,…

Polynomial $n\times n$ matrices $A(\lambda)$ and $B(\lambda)$ over a field $\mathbb F $ are called semi-scalar equivalent if there exist a nonsingular $n\times n$ matrix $P$ over the field $\mathbb F $ and an invertible $n\times n$ matrix…

We give an effective solution of the conjugacy problem for two by two matrices over the polynomial ring in one variable over a finite field.

This article studies the equation $[A,B]^k = {\rm Id}_n$ for matrices over $\mathbb{C}$, characterizing the pairs $(k,n)$ for which solutions exist via a classical result of Lam and Leung on sums of roots of unity. The problem is next…

We define a notion of complexity for modules over infinite groups. We show that if $M$ is a module over the group ring $kG$, and $M$ has complexity $\leq f$ (where $f$ is some complexity function) over some set of finite index subgroups of…

We consider the decision problem asking whether a partial rational symmetric matrix with an all-ones diagonal can be completed to a full positive semidefinite matrix of rank at most $k$. We show that this problem is $\NP$-hard for any fixed…

The multiplicative semigroup $M_n(F)$ of $n\times n$ matrices over a field $F$ is well understood, in particular, it is a regular semigroup. This paper considers semigroups of the form $M_n(S)$, where $S$ is a semiring, and the…

Let G be an undirected simple graph having n vertices and let f be a function defined to be f:V(G) -> {0,..., n-1}. An f-factor of G is a spanning subgraph H such that degree of a vertex v in H is f(v) for every vertex v in V(G). The…

The problem of finding the missing values of a matrix given a few of its entries, called matrix completion, has gathered a lot of attention in the recent years. Although the problem under the standard low rank assumption is NP-hard,…

The $k$-CombDMR problem is that of determining whether an $n \times n$ distance matrix can be realised by $n$ vertices in some undirected graph with $n + k$ vertices. This problem has a simple solution in the case $k=0$. In this paper we…

Goldmann and Russell (2002) initiated the study of the complexity of the equation satisfiability problem in finite groups by showing that it is in P for nilpotent groups while it is NP-complete for non-solvable groups. Since then, several…

We provide a complete classification of matrix semirings $\mathbf{M}_n(S)$ over two-element additively idempotent semirings $S$ with respect to the finite basis property.Our main theorem shows that for every integer $n \geq 2$,the semiring…

A popular method in combinatorial optimization is to express polytopes P, which may potentially have exponentially many facets, as solutions of linear programs that use few extra variables to reduce the number of constraints down to a…

We study the problem of approximating the value of the matching polynomial on graphs with edge parameter $\gamma$, where $\gamma$ takes arbitrary values in the complex plane. When $\gamma$ is a positive real, Jerrum and Sinclair showed that…

In the recent years, the notion of rank metric in the context of coding theory has known many interesting developments in terms of applications such as space time coding, network coding or public key cryptography. These applications raised…

We study the computational complexity of satisfiability problems for classes of simple finite height (ortho)complemented modular lattices $L$. For single finite $L$, these problems are shown tobe $\mc{NP}$-complete; for $L$ of height at…

Helmke et al. have recently given a formula for the number of reachable pairs of matrices over a finite field. We give a new and elementary proof of the same formula by solving the equivalent problem of determining the number of so called…
