We consider the problem of satisfiability of sets of constraints in a given set of finite uniform hypergraphs. While the problem under consideration is similar in nature to the problem of satisfiability of constraints in graphs, the classical complexity reduction to finite-domain CSPs that was used in the proof of the complexity dichotomy for such problems cannot be used as a black box in our case. We therefore introduce an algorithmic technique inspired by classical notions from the theory of finite-domain CSPs, and prove its correctness based on symmetries that depend on a linear order that is external to the structures under consideration. Our second main result is a P/NP-complete complexity dichotomy for such problems over many sets of uniform hypergraphs. The proof is based on the translation of the problem into the framework of constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) over infinite uniform hypergraphs. Our result confirms in particular the Bodirsky-Pinsker conjecture for CSPs of first-order reducts of some homogeneous hypergraphs. This forms a vast generalization of previous work by Bodirsky-Pinsker (STOC'11) and Bodirsky-Martin-Pinsker-Pongr\'acz (ICALP'16) on graph satisfiability.

Fano varieties are basic building blocks in geometry - they are `atomic pieces' of mathematical shapes. Recent progress in the classification of Fano varieties involves analysing an invariant called the quantum period. This is a sequence of integers which gives a numerical fingerprint for a Fano variety. It is conjectured that a Fano variety is uniquely determined by its quantum period. If this is true, one should be able to recover geometric properties of a Fano variety directly from its quantum period. We apply machine learning to the question: does the quantum period of X know the dimension of X? Note that there is as yet no theoretical understanding of this. We show that a simple feed-forward neural network can determine the dimension of X with 98% accuracy. Building on this, we establish rigorous asymptotics for the quantum periods of a class of Fano varieties. These asymptotics determine the dimension of X from its quantum period. Our results demonstrate that machine learning can pick out structure from complex mathematical data in situations where we lack theoretical understanding. They also give positive evidence for the conjecture that the quantum period of a Fano variety determines that variety.
In general, high order splitting methods suffer from an order reduction phenomena when applied to the time integration of partial differential equations with non-periodic boundary conditions. In the last decade, there were introduced several modifications to prevent the second order Strang Splitting method from such a phenomena. In this article, inspired by these recent corrector techniques, we introduce a splitting method of order three for a class of semilinear parabolic problems that avoids order reduction in the context of non-periodic boundary conditions. We give a proof for the third order convergence of the method in a simplified linear setting and confirm the result by numerical experiments. Moreover, we show numerically that the high order convergence persists for an order four variant of a splitting method, and also for a nonlinear source term.
With the increasing availability of large scale datasets, computational power and tools like automatic differentiation and expressive neural network architectures, sequential data are now often treated in a data-driven way, with a dynamical model trained from the observation data. While neural networks are often seen as uninterpretable black-box architectures, they can still benefit from physical priors on the data and from mathematical knowledge. In this paper, we use a neural network architecture which leverages the long-known Koopman operator theory to embed dynamical systems in latent spaces where their dynamics can be described linearly, enabling a number of appealing features. We introduce methods that enable to train such a model for long-term continuous reconstruction, even in difficult contexts where the data comes in irregularly-sampled time series. The potential for self-supervised learning is also demonstrated, as we show the promising use of trained dynamical models as priors for variational data assimilation techniques, with applications to e.g. time series interpolation and forecasting.
We study a subspace constrained version of the randomized Kaczmarz algorithm for solving large linear systems in which the iterates are confined to the space of solutions of a selected subsystem. We show that the subspace constraint leads to an accelerated convergence rate, especially when the system has structure such as having coherent rows or being approximately low-rank. On Gaussian-like random data, it results in a form of dimension reduction that effectively improves the aspect ratio of the system. Furthermore, this method serves as a building block for a second, quantile-based algorithm for the problem of solving linear systems with arbitrary sparse corruptions, which is able to efficiently exploit partial external knowledge about uncorrupted equations and achieve convergence in difficult settings such as in almost-square systems. Numerical experiments on synthetic and real-world data support our theoretical results and demonstrate the validity of the proposed methods for even more general data models than guaranteed by the theory.
Recent progress in number field sieve (NFS) has shaken the security of Pairing-based Cryptography. For the discrete logarithm problem (DLP) in finite field, we present the first systematic review of the NFS algorithms from three perspectives: the degree $\alpha$, constant $c$, and hidden constant $o(1)$ in the asymptotic complexity $L_Q\left(\alpha,c\right)$ and indicate that further research is required to optimize the hidden constant. Using the special extended tower NFS algorithm, we conduct a thorough security evaluation for all the existing standardized PF curves as well as several commonly utilized curves, which reveals that the BN256 curves recommended by the SM9 and the previous ISO/IEC standard exhibit only 99.92 bits of security, significantly lower than the intended 128-bit level. In addition, we comprehensively analyze the security and efficiency of BN, BLS, and KSS curves for different security levels. Our analysis suggests that the BN curve exhibits superior efficiency for security strength below approximately 105 bit. For a 128-bit security level, BLS12 and BLS24 curves are the optimal choices, while the BLS24 curve offers the best efficiency for security levels of 160bit, 192bit, and 256bit.
Simulating physical problems involving multi-time scale coupling is challenging due to the need of solving these multi-time scale processes simultaneously. In response to this challenge, this paper proposed an explicit multi-time step algorithm coupled with a solid dynamic relaxation scheme. The explicit scheme simplifies the equation system in contrast to the implicit scheme, while the multi-time step algorithm allows the equations of different physical processes to be solved under different time step sizes. Furthermore, an implicit viscous damping relaxation technique is applied to significantly reduce computational iterations required to achieve equilibrium in the comparatively fast solid response process. To validate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed algorithm, two distinct scenarios, i.e., a nonlinear hardening bar stretching and a fluid diffusion coupled with Nafion membrane flexure, are simulated. The results show good agreement with experimental data and results from other numerical methods, and the simulation time is reduced firstly by independently addressing different processes with the multi-time step algorithm and secondly decreasing solid dynamic relaxation time through the incorporation of damping techniques.
The generation of curves and surfaces from given data is a well-known problem in Computer-Aided Design that can be approached using subdivision schemes. They are powerful tools that allow obtaining new data from the initial one by means of simple calculations. However, in some applications, the collected data are given with noise and most of schemes are not adequate to process them. In this paper, we present some new families of binary univariate linear subdivision schemes using weighted local polynomial regression. We study their properties, such as convergence, monotonicity, polynomial reproduction and approximation and denoising capabilities. For the convergence study, we develop some new theoretical results. Finally, some examples are presented to confirm the proven properties.
A general class of the almost instantaneous fixed-to-variable-length (AIFV) codes is proposed, which contains every possible binary code we can make when allowing finite bits of decoding delay. The contribution of the paper lies in the following. (i) Introducing $N$-bit-delay AIFV codes, constructed by multiple code trees with higher flexibility than the conventional AIFV codes. (ii) Proving that the proposed codes can represent any uniquely-encodable and uniquely-decodable variable-to-variable length codes. (iii) Showing how to express codes as multiple code trees with minimum decoding delay. (iv) Formulating the constraints of decodability as the comparison of intervals in the real number line. The theoretical results in this paper are expected to be useful for further study on AIFV codes.
A novel overlapping domain decomposition splitting algorithm based on a Crank-Nisolson method is developed for the stochastic nonlinear Schroedinger equation driven by a multiplicative noise with non-periodic boundary conditions. The proposed algorithm can significantly reduce the computational cost while maintaining the similar conservation laws. Numerical experiments are dedicated to illustrating the capability of the algorithm for different spatial dimensions, as well as the various initial conditions. In particular, we compare the performance of the overlapping domain decomposition splitting algorithm with the stochastic multi-symplectic method in [S. Jiang, L. Wang and J. Hong, Commun. Comput. Phys., 2013] and the finite difference splitting scheme in [J. Cui, J. Hong, Z. Liu and W. Zhou, J. Differ. Equ., 2019]. We observe that our proposed algorithm has excellent computational efficiency and is highly competitive. It provides a useful tool for solving stochastic partial differential equations.
In this paper, two novel classes of implicit exponential Runge-Kutta (ERK) methods are studied for solving highly oscillatory systems. Firstly, we analyze the symplectic conditions for two kinds of exponential integrators and obtain the symplectic method. In order to effectively solve highly oscillatory problems, we try to design the highly accurate implicit ERK integrators. By comparing the Taylor series expansion of numerical solution with exact solution, it can be verified that the order conditions of two new kinds of exponential methods are identical to classical Runge-Kutta (RK) methods, which implies that using the coefficients of RK methods, some highly accurate numerical methods are directly formulated. Furthermore, we also investigate the linear stability properties for these exponential methods. Finally, numerical results not only display the long time energy preservation of the symplectic method, but also present the accuracy and efficiency of these formulated methods in comparison with standard ERK methods.
