La différentiation automatique et son utilisation en optimisation

Jean-Pierre Dussault (2008)

RAIRO - Operations Research

In this work, we present an introduction to automatic differentiation, its use in optimization software, and some new potential usages. We focus on the potential of this technique in optimization. We do not dive deeply in the intricacies of automatic differentiation, but put forward its key ideas. We sketch a survey, as of today, of automatic differentiation software, but warn the reader that the situation with respect to software evolves rapidly. In the last part of the paper, we present some...

Minimal resolutions of lattice ideals and integer linear programming.

Emilio Briales-Morales, Antonio Campillo-López, Pilar Pisón-Casares, Alberto Vigneron-Tenorio (2003)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

A combinatorial description of the minimal free resolution of a lattice ideal allows us to the connection of Integer Linear Programming and Al1gebra. The non null reduced homology spaces of some simplicial complexes are the key. The extremal rays of the associated cone reduce the number of variables.

Object oriented institutions to specify symbolic computation systems

César Domínguez, Laureano Lambán, Julio Rubio (2007)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

The specification of the data structures used in EAT, a software system for symbolic computation in algebraic topology, is based on an operation that defines a link among different specification frameworks like hidden algebras and coalgebras. In this paper, this operation is extended using the notion of institution, giving rise to three institution encodings. These morphisms define a commutative diagram which shows three possible views of the same construction, placing it in an equational algebraic...

On an algorithm to decide whether a free group is a free factor of another

Pedro V. Silva, Pascal Weil (2008)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

We revisit the problem of deciding whether a finitely generated subgroup H is a free factor of a given free group F . Known algorithms solve this problem in time polynomial in the sum of the lengths of the generators of H and exponential in the rank of F . We show that the latter dependency can be made exponential in the rank difference rank ( F ) - rank ( H ) , which often makes a significant change.

On Graph-Based Cryptography and Symbolic Computations

V. A., Ustimenko (2007)

Serdica Journal of Computing

We have been investigating the cryptographical properties of in nite families of simple graphs of large girth with the special colouring of vertices during the last 10 years. Such families can be used for the development of cryptographical algorithms (on symmetric or public key modes) and turbocodes in error correction theory. Only few families of simple graphs of large unbounded girth and arbitrarily large degree are known. The paper is devoted to the more general theory of directed graphs of large...

On homotopy types of limits of semi-algebraic sets and additive complexity of polynomials

Sal Barone, Saugata Basu (2014)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We prove that the number of distinct homotopy types of limits of one-parameter semi-algebraic families of closed and bounded semi-algebraic sets is bounded singly exponentially in the additive complexity of any quantifier-free first order formula defining the family. As an important consequence, we derive that the number of distinct homotopy types of semi-algebraic subsets of k defined by a quantifier-free first order formula Φ , where the sum of the additive complexities of the polynomials appearing...
