Complexity-theoretic limitations on quantum algorithms for topological data analysis

A Schmidhuber, S Lloyd - PRX Quantum, 2023 - APS
Quantum algorithms for topological data analysis (TDA) seem to provide an exponential
advantage over the best classical approach while remaining immune to dequantization …

Euler characteristic curves and profiles: a stable shape invariant for big data problems

P Dłotko, D Gurnari - GigaScience, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Tools of topological data analysis provide stable summaries encapsulating the shape of the

Polynomial-time computation of homotopy groups and Postnikov systems in fixed dimension

M Cadek, M Krcál, J Matousek, L Vokrinek… - Siam Journal on …, 2014 - SIAM
For several computational problems in homotopy theory, we obtain algorithms with running
time polynomial in the input size. In particular, for every fixed k≥2, there is a polynomial-time …

[HTML][HTML] Complexity of simplicial homology and independence complexes of chordal graphs

We prove the NP-hardness of computing homology groups of simplicial complexes when the
size of the input complex is measured by the number of maximal faces or the number of …

[HTML][HTML] A C++ class for multi-state algebraic reliability computations

AM Bigatti, P Pascual-Ortigosa… - Reliability Engineering & …, 2021 - Elsevier
We present the design and implementation of a C++ class for reliability analysis of multi-
state systems using an algebraic approach based on monomial ideals. The class is …

Hilbert functions in design for reliability

E Sáenz-de-Cabezón, HP Wynn - IEEE transactions on …, 2014 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The algebraic approach to the analysis of system reliability associates an algebraic object, a
monomial ideal, to a coherent system (CS), and studies the reliability of the system using the …

Solving a special case of the intensional vs extensional conjecture in probabilistic databases

M Monet - Proceedings of the 39th ACM SIGMOD-SIGACT-SIGAI …, 2020 - dl.acm.org
We consider the problem of exact probabilistic inference for Union of Conjunctive Queries
(UCQs) on tuple-independent databases. For this problem, two approaches currently …

Counting Answers to Unions of Conjunctive Queries: Natural Tractability Criteria and Meta-Complexity

J Focke, LA Goldberg, M Roth, S Zivný - … of the ACM on Management of …, 2024 - dl.acm.org
We study the problem of counting answers to unions of conjunctive queries (UCQs) under
structural restrictions on the input query. Concretely, given a class C of UCQs, the problem# …

Supersymmetry and quantum computation

PM Crichigno - arXiv preprint arXiv:2011.01239, 2020 - arxiv.org
The interplay between supersymmetry and classical and quantum computation is discussed.
First, it is shown that the problem of computing the Witten index of $\mathcal N\leq 2 …

Evasiveness Through Binary Decision Diagrams

J Aransay, L Lambán, J Rubio - International Conference on Intelligent …, 2023 - Springer
In this paper, we explore whether a data structure for representing Boolean functions
(namely, Binary Decision Diagrams) can be useful to detect, in an efficient way, the acyclicity …
