We demonstrate a method to parallelize the computation of a Gröbner basis for a homogenous ideal in a multigraded polynomial ring. Our method uses anti-chains in the lattice $\mathbb N^k$ to separate mutually independent S-polynomials for reduction.
Global asymptotic stability of rational difference equations is an area of research that has been well studied. In contrast to the many current methods for proving global asymptotic stability, we propose an algorithmic approach. The algorithm we summarize here employs the idea of contractions. Given a particular rational difference equation, defined by a function $Q$ which maps the $k+1$ dimensional real numbers to itself, we attempt to find an integer, $K$, for which $Q^K$ shrinks distances to the difference equation's equilibrium point. We state some general results that our algorithm has been able to prove, and also mention the implementation of our algorithm using Maple.
We present some of the experiments we have performed to best test our design for a library for MathScheme, the mechanized mathematics software system we are building. We wish for our library design to use and reflect, as much as possible, the mathematical structure present in the objects which populate the library.
A generalized criterion for signature-based algorithms to compute Gröbner bases is proposed in this paper. This criterion is named by "generalized criterion", because it can be specialized to almost all existing criteria for signature-based algorithms which include the famous F5 algorithm, F5C, extended F5, G$^2$V and the GVW algorithm. The main purpose of current paper is to study in theory which kind of criteria is correct in signature-based algorithms and provide a generalized method to develop new criteria. For this purpose, by studying some key facts and observations of signature-based algorithms, a generalized criterion is proposed. The generalized criterion only relies on a partial order defined on a set of polynomials. When specializing the partial order to appropriate specific orders, the generalized criterion can specialize to almost all existing criteria of signature-based algorithms. For {\em admissible} partial orders, a proof is presented for the correctness of the algorithm that is based on this generalized criterion. And the partial orders implied by the criteria of F5 and GVW are also shown to be admissible. More importantly, the generalized criterion provides an effective method to check whether a new criterion is correct as well as to develop new criteria for signature-based algorithms.
Let K be an algebraic number field of degree d and discriminant D over Q. Let A be an associative algebra over K given by structure constants such that A is isomorphic to the algebra M_n(K) of n by n matrices over K for some positive integer n. Suppose that d, n and D are bounded. Then an isomorphism of A with M_n(K) can be constructed by a polynomial time ff-algorithm. (An ff-algorithm is a deterministic procedure which is allowed to call oracles for factoring integers and factoring univariate polynomials over finite fields.) As a consequence, we obtain a polynomial time ff-algorithm to compute isomorphisms of central simple algebras of bounded degree over K.
This diploma thesis is concerned with functional decomposition $f = g \circ h$ of polynomials. First an algorithm is described which computes decompositions in polynomial time. This algorithm was originally proposed by Zippel (1991). A bound for the number of minimal collisions is derived. Finally a proof of a conjecture in von zur Gathen, Giesbrecht & Ziegler (2010) is given, which states a classification for a special class of decomposable polynomials.
We consider the problem of computing the distance between two piecewise-linear bivariate functions $f$ and $g$ defined over a common domain $M$. We focus on the distance induced by the $L_2$-norm, that is $\|f-g\|_2=\sqrt{\iint_M (f-g)^2}$. If $f$ is defined by linear interpolation over a triangulation of $M$ with $n$ triangles, while $g$ is defined over another such triangulation, the obvious naïve algorithm requires $Θ(n^2)$ arithmetic operations to compute this distance. We show that it is possible to compute it in $Ø(n\log^4 n)$ arithmetic operations, by reducing the problem to multi-point evaluation of a certain type of polynomials. We also present an application to terrain matching.
In this paper, a generic intersection theorem in projective differential algebraic geometry is presented. Precisely, the intersection of an irreducible projective differential variety of dimension d>0 and order h with a generic projective differential hyperplane is shown to be an irreducible projective differential variety of dimension d-1 and order h. Based on the generic intersection theorem, the Chow form for an irreducible projective differential variety is defined and most of the properties of the differential Chow form in affine differential case are established for its projective differential counterpart. Finally, we apply the differential Chow form to a result of linear dependence over projective varieties given by Kolchin.
In this paper we present several algorithms related with the computation of the homology of groups, from a geometric perspective (that is to say, carrying out the calculations by means of simplicial sets and using techniques of Algebraic Topology). More concretely, we have developed some algorithms which, making use of the effective homology method, construct the homology groups of Eilenberg-MacLane spaces K(G,1) for different groups G, allowing one in particular to determine the homology groups of G. Our algorithms have been programmed as new modules for the Kenzo system, enhancing it with the following new functionalities: - construction of the effective homology of K(G,1) from a given finite free resolution of the group G; - construction of the effective homology of K(A,1) for every finitely generated Abelian group A (as a consequence, the effective homology of K(A,n) is also available in Kenzo, for all n); - computation of homology groups of some 2-types; - construction of the effective homology for central extensions. In addition, an inverse problem is also approached in this work: given a group G such that K(G,1) has effective homology, can a finite free resolution of the group G be obtained? We provide some algorithms to solve this problem, based on a notion of norm of a group, allowing us to control the convergence of the process when building such a resolution.
In this paper we explore the possibility of using computational algebraic methods to analyze a class of consensus protocols. We state some necessary conditions for convergence under consensus protocols that are polynomials.
We consider algebras over a field K, generated by two variables x and y subject to the single relation yx = qxy + ax + by + c for q in K^* and a, b, c in K. We prove, that among such algebras there are precisely five isomorphism classes. The representatives of these classes, which are ubiquitous operator algebras, are called model algebras. We derive explicit multiplication formulas for y^m*x^n in terms of standard monomials x^i*y^j for many algebras of the considered type. Such formulas are used in establishing formulas of binomial type and in implementing non-commutative multiplication in a computer algebra system. By using the formulas we also study centers and ring-theoretic properties of the non-commutative model algebras.
Signature-based algorithms are a popular kind of algorithms for computing Groebner basis, including the famous F5 algorithm, F5C, extended F5, G2V and the GVW algorithm. In this paper, an efficient method is proposed to solve the detachability problem. The new method only uses the outputs of signature-based algorithms, and no extra Groebner basis computations are needed. When a Groebner basis is obtained by signature-based algorithms, the detachability problem can be settled in polynomial time.
Ritt-Wu's algorithm of characteristic sets is the most representative for triangularizing sets of multivariate polynomials. Pseudo-division is the main operation used in this algorithm. In this paper we present a new algorithmic scheme for computing generalized characteristic sets by introducing other admissible reductions than pseudo-division. A concrete subalgorithm is designed to triangularize polynomial sets using selected admissible reductions and several effective elimination strategies and to replace the algorithm of basic sets (used in Ritt-Wu's algorithm). The proposed algorithm has been implemented and experimental results show that it performs better than Ritt-Wu's algorithm in terms of computing time and simplicity of output for a number of non-trivial test examples.
One of the most famous conjectures in computer algebra is that matrix multiplication might be feasible in not much more than quadratic time. The best known exponent is 2.376, due to Coppersmith and Winograd. Many attempts to solve this problems in the literature work by solving, fixed-size problems and then apply the solution recursively. This leads to pure combinatorial optimisation problems with fixed size. These problems are unlikely to be solvable in polynomial time. In 1976 Laderman published a method to multiply two 3x3 matrices using only 23 multiplications. This result is non-commutative, and therefore can be applied recursively to smaller sub-matrices. In 35 years nobody was able to do better and it remains an open problem if this can be done with 22 multiplications. We proceed by solving the so called Brent equations [7]. We have implemented a method to converting this very hard problem to a SAT problem, and we have attempted to solve it, with our portfolio of some 500 SAT solvers. With this new method we were able to produce new solutions to the Laderman's problem. We present a new fully general non-commutative solution with 23 multiplications and show that this solution is new and is NOT an equivalent variant of the Laderman's original solution. This result demonstrates that the space of solutions to Laderman's problem is larger than expected, and therefore it becomes now more plausible that a solution with 22 multiplications exists. If it exists, we might be able to find it soon just by running our algorithms longer, or due to further improvements in the SAT solver algorithms.
Ihe first author presented an efficient algorithm for computing involutive (and reduced Groebner) bases. In this paper, we consider a modification of this algorithm which simplifies matters to understand it and to implement. We prove correctness and termination of the modified algorithm and also correctness of the used criteria. The proposed algorithm has been implemented in Maple. We present experimental comparison, via some examples, of performance of the modified algorithm with its original form which has been implemented in Maple too. In doing so, we have taken care to provide uniform implementation details for the both algorithms.
We analyze the differential equations produced by the method of creative telescoping applied to a hyperexponential term in two variables. We show that equations of low order have high degree, and that higher order equations have lower degree. More precisely, we derive degree bounding formulas which allow to estimate the degree of the output equations from creative telescoping as a function of the order. As an application, we show how the knowledge of these formulas can be used to improve, at least in principle, the performance of creative telescoping implementations, and we deduce bounds on the asymptotic complexity of creative telescoping for hyperexponential terms.
We give an algorithm for reversion of formal power series, based on an efficient way to implement the Lagrange inversion formula. Our algorithm requires $O(n^{1/2}(M(n) + MM(n^{1/2})))$ operations where $M(n)$ and $MM(n)$ are the costs of polynomial and matrix multiplication respectively. This matches the asymptotic complexity of an algorithm of Brent and Kung, but we achieve a constant factor speedup whose magnitude depends on the polynomial and matrix multiplication algorithms used. Benchmarks confirm that the algorithm performs well in practice.
We design an algorithm to compute the Newton polytope of the resultant, known as resultant polytope, or its orthogonal projection along a given direction. The resultant is fundamental in algebraic elimination, optimization, and geometric modeling. Our algorithm exactly computes vertex- and halfspace-representations of the polytope using an oracle producing resultant vertices in a given direction, thus avoiding walking on the polytope whose dimension is alpha-n-1, where the input consists of alpha points in Z^n. Our approach is output-sensitive as it makes one oracle call per vertex and facet. It extends to any polytope whose oracle-based definition is advantageous, such as the secondary and discriminant polytopes. Our publicly available implementation uses the experimental CGAL package triangulation. Our method computes 5-, 6- and 7-dimensional polytopes with 35K, 23K and 500 vertices, respectively, within 2hrs, and the Newton polytopes of many important surface equations encountered in geometric modeling in <1sec, whereas the corresponding secondary polytopes are intractable. It is faster than tropical geometry software up to dimension 5 or 6. Hashing determinantal predicates accelerates execution up to 100 times. One variant computes inner and outer approximations with, respectively, 90% and 105% of the true volume, up to 25 times faster.
