Condition Numbers for the Cube. I: Univariate Polynomials and Hypersurfaces (2006.04423v3)

Published 8 Jun 2020 in cs.CG, cs.NA, and math.NA

Abstract: The condition-based complexity analysis framework is one of the gems of modern numerical algebraic geometry and theoretical computer science. Among the challenges that it poses is to expand the currently limited range of random polynomials that we can handle. Despite important recent progress, the available tools cannot handle random sparse polynomials and Gaussian polynomials, that is polynomials whose coefficients are i.i.d. Gaussian random variables. We initiate a condition-based complexity framework based on the norm of the cube that is a step in this direction. We present this framework for real hypersurfaces and univariate polynomials. We demonstrate its capabilities in two problems, under very mild probabilistic assumptions. On the one hand, we show that the average run-time of the Plantinga-Vegter algorithm is polynomial in the degree for random sparse (alas a restricted sparseness structure) polynomials and random Gaussian polynomials. On the other hand, we study the size of the subdivision tree for Descartes' solver and run-time of the solver by Jindal and Sagraloff (arXiv:1704.06979). In both cases, we provide a bound that is polynomial in the size of the input (size of the support plus the logarithm of the degree) not only for the average but also for all higher moments.
