Symmetric Determinantal Representation of Weakly-Skew Circuits

Authors: Bruno Grenet, Erich L. Kaltofen, Pascal Koiran, and Natacha Portier

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 9, 28th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2011)


Abstract
We deploy algebraic complexity theoretic techniques for constructing symmetric determinantal representations of weakly-skew circuits, which include formulas. Our representations produce matrices of much smaller dimensions than those given in the convex geometry literature when applied to polynomials having a concise representation (as a sum of monomials, or more generally as an arithmetic formula or a weakly-skew circuit). These representations are valid in any field of characteristic different from 2. In characteristic 2 we are led to an almost complete solution to a question of Buergisser on the VNP-completeness of the partial permanent. In particular, we show that the partial permanent cannot be VNP-complete in a finite field of characteristic 2 unless the polynomial hierarchy collapses.

09471 Executive Summary – Computer-assisted proofs - tools, methods and applications

Authors: Malcolm B. Brown, Erich Kaltofen, Shin'ichi Oishi, and Siegfried M. Rump

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 9471, Computer-assisted proofs - tools, methods and applications (2010)


Abstract
From November 15-20, 2009, the Dagstuhl seminar on "Computer-assisted proofs - tools, methods and applications" continued a series of previous successful seminars. Participants from 10 different countries presented recent results in verification methods, computer algebra, and other computer-assisted-proof related areas. We had lively talks and discussions, during the regular times for talks, during meals and afterwards. In the following links to abstracts and/or the presentation are given were applicable.

06271 Executive Summary - Challenges in Symbolic Computation Software

Authors: Wolfram Decker, Mike Dewar, Erich Kaltofen, and Stephen M. Watt

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 6271, Challenges in Symbolic Computation Software (2006)


Abstract
Symbolic computation software allows mathematicians, scientists, engineers, or educators to deal with elaborate calculations using a computer. The applications range from introducing the experimental method in fields of pure mathematics to practical applications, for instance, in cryptology, robotics, or signal theory. The software includes mainstream commercial products such as Maple or Mathematica and highly specialized, public domain systems such as CoCoa, Macaulay2, or Singular. Symbolic computation software implements a variety of sophisticated algorithms on polynomials, matrices, combinatorial structures, and other mathematical objects in a multitude of different dense, sparse, or implicit (black box) representations. The subject of the seminar was innovation in algorithms and software, bringing algorithm designers, software builders, and software users together.
