چکیده

In this note we prove NP-hardness of the following problem: Given a set of matrices, is there a convex combination of those that is a nonsingular M-matrix? Via known characterizations of M-matrices, our result establishes NP-hardness of several fundamental problems in systems analysis and control, such as testing the instability of an uncertain dynamical system, and minimizing the spectral radius of an affine matrix function.

Packing Segments in a Convex 3-Polytope is NP-hard

We show it is NP-hard to pack the maximum number of segments in a convex 3-dimensional polytope. We show this packing problem is also NP-hard for general polygonal regions in the plane. This problem relates two streams of research, Kakeya set problems and packing problems.

Containment Problems for Polytopes and Spectrahedra

We study the computational question whether a given polytope or spectrahedron SA (as given by the positive semidefiniteness region of a linear matrix pencil A(x)) is contained in another one SB . First we classify the computational complexity, extending results on the polytope/polytope-case by Gritzmann and Klee to the polytope/spectrahedron-case. For various restricted containment problems, NP...

Membership testing for Bernoulli and tail-dependence matrices

Testing a given matrix for membership in the family of Bernoulli matrices is a longstanding problem, the many applications of Bernoulli vectors in computer science, finance, medicine, and operations research emphasize its practical relevance. A novel approach towards this problem was taken by [Fiebig et al., 2017] for lowdimensional settings d ≤ 6. For the first time, they exploit the close rel...

NP-hardness of linear multiplicative programming and related problems

The linear multiplicative programming problem minimizes a product of two (positive) variables subject to linear inequality constraints. In this paper, we show NP-hardness of linear multiplicative programming problems and related problems.
