Polyhedral Methods in Numerical Algebraic Geometry

TL;DR: This work proposes certificates for algebraic curves, which are the leading terms of a Puiseux series expansion of the curve starting at infinity, and relates the computation of tropisms to the calculation of mixed volumes.

Computation with Advice

TL;DR: Computation with advice as discussed by the authors is a generalization of both computation with discrete advice and Type-2 Nondeterminism, and it has been shown that correct solutions are guessable with positive probability.

Optimal high-level descriptions of dynamical systems

TL;DR: The resulting State Space Compression (SSC) framework provides a guide for how to solve for the {optimal} high-level description of a given dynamical system, rather than constructing it based on human intuition alone.

Computational complexity of real valued recursive functions and analog circuits

TL;DR: It is shown that circuits with units that solve differential equations, simple units that add and multiply functions, and units that sense inequalities in a differentiable way, can compute sets of functions that range from the functions computable in linear space to the primitive recursive functions.

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.
