Generalization of the Lee-O'Sullivan List Decoding for One-Point AG Codes
We generalize the list decoding algorithm for Hermitian codes proposed by Lee
and O'Sullivan based on Gr\"obner bases to general one-point AG codes, under an
assumption weaker than one used by Beelen and Brander. Our generalization
enables us to apply the fast algorithm to compute a Gr\"obner basis of a module
proposed by Lee and O'Sullivan, which was not possible in another
generalization by Lax.Comment: article.cls, 14 pages, no figure. The order of authors was changed.

Lower bounds on the number of realizations of rigid graphs
Computing the number of realizations of a minimally rigid graph is a
notoriously difficult problem. Towards this goal, for graphs that are minimally
rigid in the plane, we take advantage of a recently published algorithm, which
is the fastest available method, although its complexity is still exponential.
Combining computational results with the theory of constructing new rigid
graphs by gluing, we give a new lower bound on the maximal possible number of
(complex) realizations for graphs with a given number of vertices. We extend
these ideas to rigid graphs in three dimensions and we derive similar lower
bounds, by exploiting data from extensive Gr\"obner basis computations
Computing periods of rational integrals
A period of a rational integral is the result of integrating, with respect to
one or several variables, a rational function over a closed path. This work
focuses particularly on periods depending on a parameter: in this case the
period under consideration satisfies a linear differential equation, the
Picard-Fuchs equation. I give a reduction algorithm that extends the
Griffiths-Dwork reduction and apply it to the computation of Picard-Fuchs
equations. The resulting algorithm is elementary and has been successfully
applied to problems that were previously out of reach.Comment: To appear in Math. comp. Supplementary material at
