The designer is required to consider all stages of a product-life like manufacturing, marketing, maintenance, and the disposal after completion of product life-cycle. The design-phase, which is based on creativity, is often exciting and satisfying. But the designer has to work hard worrying about a large number of parameters of man. In Indian context, the design of products is still at an embryonic stage. The design- phase of a product is often neglected in lieu of manufacturing. A rapid growth of design activities in India is a must to bring the edge difference in the world of mass manufacturing and mass accessibility. The start of Design Programme at IIT Kanpur in the year 2001, is a step in this direction. overvi The Design Program at IIT-Kanpur was established with the objective of advancing our intellectual and scientific understanding of the theory and practice of design, along with the system of design process management and product semantics. The programme, since its inception in 2002, aimed at training post-graduate students in the technical, aesthetic and ergonomic practices of the field and to help them to comprehend the broader cultural issues associated with contemporary design. True to its interdisciplinary approach, the faculty members are from varied fields of engineering like mechanical, computer science, bio sciences, electrical and chemical engineering and humanities.

  • Thesis Title
    Exp(n+d)-time Algorithms for Computing Division, GCD and Identity Testing of Polynomials A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Technology by Kartik Kale Roll No. : 15111019 under the guidance of Prof. Nitin Saxena Department of Computer Science and Engineering Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur June, 2017 Abstract Agrawal and Vinay showed that a poly(s) hitting set for ΣΠaΣΠb(n) circuits of size s, where a is !(1) and b is O(log s) , gives us a quasipolynomial hitting set for general VP circuits [AV08]. Recently, improving the work of Agrawal and Vinay, it was showed that a poly(s) hitting set for Σ ^a ΣΠb(n) circuits of size s, where a is !(1) and n, b are O(log s), gives us a quasipolynomial hitting set for general VP circuits [AFGS17]. The inputs to the ^ gates are polynomials whose arity and total degree is O(log s). (These polynomials are sometimes called `tiny' polynomials). In this thesis, we will give a new 2O(n+d)-time algorithm to divide an n-variate polynomial of total degree d by its factor. Note that this is not an algorithm to compute division with remainder, but it finds the quotient under the promise that the divisor completely divides the dividend. The intuition behind allowing exponential time complexity here is that we will later apply these algorithms on `tiny' polynomials, and 2O(n+d) is just poly(s) in case of tiny polynomials. We will also describe an 2O(n+d)-time algorithm to find the GCD of two n-variate polynomials of total degree d.

Realistic Computer Models Deepak Ajwani ⋆ and Henning Meyerhenke ⋆⋆ 5.1 Introduction Many real-world applications involve storing and processing large amounts of data. These data sets need to be either stored over the memory hierarchy of one computer or distributed and processed over many parallel computing devices or both. In fact, in many such applications, choosing a realistic computation model proves to be a critical factor in obtaining practically acceptable solutions. In this chapter, we focus on realistic computation models that capture the running time of algorithms involving large data sets on modern computers better than the traditional RAM (and its parallel counterpart PRAM) model. 5.1.1 Large Data Sets Large data sets arise naturally in many applications.

  • A Super-Quadratic Lower Bound for Depth Four Arithmetic
    A Super-Quadratic Lower Bound for Depth Four Arithmetic Circuits Nikhil Gupta Department of Computer Science and Automation, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India [email protected] Chandan Saha Department of Computer Science and Automation, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India [email protected] Bhargav Thankey Department of Computer Science and Automation, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India [email protected] Abstract We show an Ωe(n2.5) lower bound for general depth four arithmetic circuits computing an explicit n-variate degree-Θ(n) multilinear polynomial over any field of characteristic zero. To our knowledge, and as stated in the survey [88], no super-quadratic lower bound was known for depth four circuits over fields of characteristic 6= 2 before this work. The previous best lower bound is Ωe(n1.5) [85], which is a slight quantitative improvement over the roughly Ω(n1.33) bound obtained by invoking the super-linear lower bound for constant depth circuits in [73, 86]. Our lower bound proof follows the approach of the almost cubic lower bound for depth three circuits in [53] by replacing the shifted partials measure with a suitable variant of the projected shifted partials measure, but it differs from [53]’s proof at a crucial step – namely, the way “heavy” product gates are handled. Loosely speaking, a heavy product gate has a relatively high fan-in. Product gates of a depth three circuit compute products of affine forms, and so, it is easy to prune Θ(n) many heavy product gates by projecting the circuit to a low-dimensional affine subspace [53,87].

  • January 2013
    January1 of 91. 2013 International affairs: US President Barack Obama on 31 January, has come out with his much-awaited comprehensive immigration reforms, that will pave the way for legalization of more than 11 million undocumented immigrants. The reforms, which also propose to eliminate the annual country caps in the employment category, are expected to benefit large number of Indian technocrats and professionals. In a major policy speech on comprehensive immigration in Las Vegas, Obama urged the Congress to act on his proposals. The other key proposals of his "comprehensive" reform plan include "stapling" a green card to the diplomas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), PhD and Masters Degree graduates from qualified US universities who have found employment in the country. The President also proposed to create a startup visa for job-creating entrepreneurs. The proposal allows foreign entrepreneurs, who attract financing or revenue from American investors and customers, to start and grow their businesses in the US, and to remain permanently if their companies grow further, create jobs for American workers, and strengthen the economy. The proposal removes the backlog for employment-sponsored immigration by eliminating annual country caps and adding additional visas to the system. Outdated legal immigration programs are reformed to meet current and future demands by exempting certain categories from annual visa limitations, the White House said. Obama also proposed to eliminate existing backlogs in the family-sponsored immigration system by recapturing unused visas and temporarily increasing annual visa numbers. The proposal also raises existing annual country caps from seven per cent to 15 per cent for the family-sponsored immigration system.

  • Algorithms for the Multiplication Table Problem
    ALGORITHMS FOR THE MULTIPLICATION TABLE PROBLEM RICHARD BRENT, CARL POMERANCE, DAVID PURDUM, AND JONATHAN WEBSTER Abstract. Let M(n) denote the number of distinct entries in the n×n multi- plication table. The function M(n) has been studied by Erd}os,Tenenbaum, Ford, and others, but the asymptotic behaviour of M(n) as n ! 1 is not known precisely. Thus, there is some interest in algorithms for computing M(n) either exactly or approximately. We compare several algorithms for computing M(n) exactly, and give a new algorithm that has a subquadratic running time. We also present two Monte Carlo algorithms for approximate computation of M(n). We give the results of exact computations for values of n up to 230, and of Monte Carlo computations for n up to 2100;000;000, and compare our experimental results with Ford's order-of-magnitude result. 1. Introduction Although a multiplication table is understood by a typical student in elementary school, there remains much that we do not know about such tables. In 1955, Erd}os studied the problem of counting the number M(n) of distinct products in an n × n multiplication table. That is, M(n) := jfij : 1 ≤ i; j ≤ ngj. In [12], Erd}osshowed that M(n) = o(n2). Five years later, in [13], he obtained n2 (1) M(n) = as n ! 1; (log n)c+o(1) where (here and below) c = 1 − (1 + log log 2)= log 2 ≈ 0:086071. In 2008, Ford [15, 16] gave the correct order of magnitude (2) M(n) = Θ(n2=Φ(n)); where (3) Φ(n) := (log n)c(log log n)3=2 is a slowly-growing function.1 Note that (2) is not a true asymptotic formula, as M(n)=(n2=Φ(n)) might or might not tend to a limit as n ! 1.

  • Poly-Time Blackbox Identity Testing for Sum of Log-Variate Constant-Width Roabps
    Poly-time blackbox identity testing for sum of log-variate constant-width ROABPs Pranav Bisht ∗ Nitin Saxena † Abstract Blackbox polynomial identity testing (PIT) affords ‘extreme variable-bootstrapping’ (Agrawal et al, STOC’18; PNAS’19; Guo et al, FOCS’19). This motivates us to study log-variate read-once oblivious algebraic branching programs (ROABP). We restrict width of ROABP to a constant and study the more general sum-of-ROABPs model. We give the first poly(s)-time blackbox PIT for sum of constant-many, size-s, O(log s)-variate constant-width ROABPs. The previous best for this model was quasi-polynomial time (Gurjar et al, CCC’15; CC’16) which is comparable to brute-force in the log-variate setting. Also, we handle unbounded-many such ROABPs if each ROABP computes a homogeneous polynomial. Our new techniques comprise– (1) an ROABP computing a homogeneous polynomial can be made syntactically homogeneous in the same width; and (2) overcome the hurdle of unknown variable order in sum-of-ROABPs in the log-variate setting (over any field). 2012 ACM CCS concept: Theory of computation– Algebraic complexity theory, Fixed parameter tractability, Pseudorandomness and derandomization; Computing methodologies– Algebraic algorithms; Mathematics of computing– Combinatoric problems.

The input polynomial to be tested is usually given in a compact representation– like an algebraic circuit or an algebraic branching program (ABP).

  • Indian Roots of Cryptography
    Algologic Technical Report # 2/2013 The Indian roots of cryptography S. Parthasarathy [email protected] Ref.: newcryptoroots.tex Ver. code: 20190123a Keywords : Alice, Bob, Sita, Rama, Vatsyayana, Kamasutra, Hemachan- dra, Fibonacci, Hindu, Arab, Numeral, Ramanujan, Agarwal, AKS, IITK Abstract This note is a sequel to my article [2] about the dramatis personae of cryptography. The article, provoked a world-wide reaction. In fact, a related Google search resulted in over 6 million hits, making me a kind of celebrity ! For those who care to be more reasonable and logical, here is some more evidence to strengthen the proposal I made earlier in my article about Sita and Rama. 1 The Indian roots of cryptography The article [2] about Alice and Bob, talks about the dramatis personae of cryptography, and proposes a much more meaningful alternative. The au- thor came across many situations when contributions by India are unfairly understated or ignored completely by the cryptography community. We take a quick look at some of them. One remarkable exception is the book by Kim Plofker [15], a well-documented book which is free of bias and exaggeration. Most books on cryptography invariably include the Caesar’s cipher as an example of substitution cipher. It is strange that they all ignore, or are unaware of another substitution cipher which was in use a few centuries before Caesar’s cipher. According to [1] Cryptography is recommended in the Kama Sutra (ca 400 BCE) as a way for lovers to communicate without inconvenient discovery. 1 The Signal Corps Association [3], gives an interesting explanation of the kama sutra cipher.
