Reconstructing Rational Functions with
We present the open-source library for the
reconstruction of multivariate rational functions over finite fields. We
discuss the involved algorithms and their implementation. As an application, we
use in the context of integration-by-parts reductions and
compare runtime and memory consumption to a fully algebraic approach with the
program .Comment: 46 pages, 3 figures, 6 tables; v2: matches published versio
Software for Exact Integration of Polynomials over Polyhedra
We are interested in the fast computation of the exact value of integrals of
polynomial functions over convex polyhedra. We present speed ups and extensions
of the algorithms presented in previous work. We present the new software
implementation and provide benchmark computations. The computation of integrals
of polynomials over polyhedral regions has many applications; here we
demonstrate our algorithmic tools solving a challenge from combinatorial voting
theory.Comment: Major updat
The exponentially convergent trapezoidal rule
It is well known that the trapezoidal rule converges geometrically when applied to analytic functions on periodic intervals or the real line. The mathematics and history of this phenomenon are reviewed and it is shown that far from being a curiosity, it is linked with computational methods all across scientific computing, including algorithms related to inverse Laplace transforms, special functions, complex analysis, rational approximation, integral equations, and the computation of functions and eigenvalues of matrices and operators
Approximate computations with modular curves
This article gives an introduction for mathematicians interested in numerical
computations in algebraic geometry and number theory to some recent progress in
algorithmic number theory, emphasising the key role of approximate computations
with modular curves and their Jacobians. These approximations are done in
polynomial time in the dimension and the required number of significant digits.
We explain the main ideas of how the approximations are done, illustrating them
with examples, and we sketch some applications in number theory
