Approximate solutions of the hyperbolic Kepler equation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided an approximate zero for the hyperbolic Kepler's equation and showed that Newton's method starting at this approximate zero converges to the actual solution at quadratic speed.

Small Space Analogues of Valiant's Classes and the Limitations of Skew Formulas

TL;DR: In this paper, the width of an arithmetic circuit is defined as a measure of space, and the class VL is introduced as an algebraic variant of deterministic log-space L. The notion of read-once certificates for arithmetic circuits is introduced in the uniform setting, which coincides with that of VPSPACE at polynomial width.

Statistics of stationary points of random finite polynomial potentials

TL;DR: In this article, a combination of the numerical polynomial homotopy continuation method and a certification method was used to obtain all the certified stationary points of the most general polynomials for each sample chosen from the Gaussian distribution with mean 0 and variance 1.

The complexity of theorem-proving procedures

TL;DR: It is shown that any recognition problem solved by a polynomial time-bounded nondeterministic Turing machine can be “reduced” to the problem of determining whether a given propositional formula is a tautology.
