We provide a comprehensive presentation of algorithms, data structures, and implementation techniques for high-performance sparse multivariate polynomial arithmetic over the integers and rational numbers as implemented in the freely available Basic Polynomial Algebra Subprograms (BPAS) library. We report on an algorithm for sparse pseudo-division, based on the algorithms for division with remainder, multiplication, and addition, which are also examined herein. The pseudo-division and division with remainder operations are extended to multi-divisor pseudo-division and normal form algorithms, respectively, where the divisor set is assumed to form a triangular set. Our operations make use of two data structures for sparse distributed polynomials and sparse recursively viewed polynomials, with a keen focus on locality and memory usage for optimized performance on modern memory hierarchies. Experimentation shows that these new implementations compare favorably against competing implementations, performing between a factor of 3 better (for multiplication over the integers) to more than 4 orders of magnitude better (for pseudo-division with respect to a triangular set).

Abstract

For the May–Leonard asymmetric system, which is a quadratic system of the Lotka–Volterra type depending on six parameters, we first look for subfamilies admitting invariant algebraic surfaces of degree two. Then for some such subfamilies we construct first integrals of the Darboux type, [...] Read more.

For the May–Leonard asymmetric system, which is a quadratic system of the Lotka–Volterra type depending on six parameters, we first look for subfamilies admitting invariant algebraic surfaces of degree two. Then for some such subfamilies we construct first integrals of the Darboux type, identifying the systems with one first integral or with two independent first integrals. Full article

The aim of the present paper is twofold. First, to give the main ideas behind quantum computing and quantum information, a field based on quantum-mechanical phenomena. Therefore, a short review is devoted to (i) quantum bits or qubits (and more generally qudits), the analogues of the usual bits 0 and 1 of the classical information theory, and to (ii) two characteristics of quantum mechanics, namely, linearity, which manifests itself through the superposition of qubits and the action of unitary operators on qubits, and entanglement of certain multi-qubit states, a resource that is specific to quantum mechanics. A, second, focus is on some mathematical problems related to the so-called mutually unbiased bases used in quantum computing and quantum information processing. In this direction, the construction of mutually unbiased bases is presented via two distinct approaches: one based on the group SU(2) and the other on Galois fields and Galois rings. Full article

In this paper, by transforming the given over-determined system into a square system, we prove a necessary and sufficient condition to certify the simple real zeros of the over-determined system by certifying the simple real zeros of the square system. After certifying a simple real zero of the related square system with the interval methods, we assert that the certified zero is a local minimum of sum of squares of the input polynomials. If the value of sum of squares of the input polynomials at the certified zero is equal to zero, it is a zero of the input system. As an application, we also consider the heuristic verification of isolated zeros of polynomial systems and their multiplicity structures. Full article
