  1. Fast Computation of Zeros of Polynomial Systems with Bounded Degree under Finite-precision.

    Abstract

    A solution for Smale's 17th problem, for the case of systems with bounded
    degree was recently given. This solution, an algorithm computing approximate
    zeros of complex polynomial systems in average polynomial time, assumed
    infinite precision. In this paper we describe a finite-precision version of
    this algorithm. Our main result shows that this version works within the same
    time bounds and requires a precision which, on the average, amounts to a
    polynomial amount of bits in the mantissa of the intervening floating-point
    numbers.

  2. A Numerical Algorithm for Zero Counting. III: Randomization and Condition.

    Abstract

    In a recent paper (Cucker, Krick, Malajovich and Wschebor, A Numerical
    Algorithm for Zero Counting. I: Complexity and accuracy, J. Compl.,24:582-605,
    2008) we analyzed a numerical algorithm for computing the number of real zeros
    of a polynomial system. The analysis relied on a condition number kappa(f) for
    the input system f. In this paper, we look at kappa(f) as a random variable
    derived from imposing a probability measure on the space of polynomial systems
    and give bounds for both the tail P{kappa(f) > a} and the expected value E(log
    kappa(f)).

  3. Smoothed Analysis of Moore-Penrose Inversion.

    Authors: Peter Buergisser, Felipe Cucker
    Subjects: Numerical Analysis
    Abstract

    We perform a smoothed analysis of the condition number of rectangular
    matrices. We prove that, asymptotically, the expected value of this condition
    number depends only of the elongation of the matrix, and not on the center and
    variance of the underlying probability distribution.

  4. A Numerical Algorithm for Zero Counting. II: Distance to Ill-posedness and Smoothed Analysis.

    Authors: Felipe Cucker, Teresa Krick, Gregorio Malajovich, Mario Wschebor
    Subjects: Numerical Analysis
    Abstract

    We show a Condition Number Theorem for the condition number of zero counting
    for real polynomial systems. That is, we show that this condition number equals
    the inverse of the normalized distance to the set of ill-posed systems (i.e.,
    those having multiple real zeros). As a consequence, a smoothed analysis of
    this condition number follows.

  7. On a Problem Posed by Steve Smale.

    Authors: Peter Buergisser, Felipe Cucker
    Subjects: Numerical Analysis
    Abstract

    The 17th of the problems proposed by Steve Smale for the 21st century asks
    for the existence of a deterministic algorithm computing an approximate
    solution of a system of $n$ complex polynomials in $n$ unknowns in time
    polynomial, on the average, in the size $N$ of the input system. A partial
    solution to this problem was given by Carlos Beltran and Luis Miguel Pardo who
    exhibited a randomized algorithm doing so. In this paper we further extend this
    result in several directions. Firstly, we exhibit a linear homotopy algorithm
    that efficiently implements a non-constructive idea of Mike Shub.
