Real time localization and 3d reconstruction

E Mouragnon, M Lhuillier, M Dhome… - 2006 IEEE Computer …, 2006 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this paper we describe a method that estimates the motion of a calibrated camera (settled
on an experimental vehicle) and the tridimensional geometry of the environment. The only …

Complexity of counting CSP with complex weights

JY Cai, X Chen - Journal of the ACM (JACM), 2017 - dl.acm.org
We give a complexity dichotomy theorem for the counting constraint satisfaction problem (#
CSP in short) with algebraic complex weights. To this end, we give three conditions for its …

The Ising partition function: Zeros and deterministic approximation

J Liu, A Sinclair, P Srivastava - Journal of Statistical Physics, 2019 - Springer
We study the problem of approximating the partition function of the ferromagnetic Ising
model with both pairwise as well as higher order interactions (equivalently, in graphs as well …

Graph homomorphisms with complex values: A dichotomy theorem

JY Cai, X Chen, P Lu - SIAM Journal on Computing, 2013 - SIAM
Each symmetric matrix A over C defines a graph homomorphism function Z_\bfA(⋅) on
undirected graphs. The function Z_A(⋅) is also called the partition function from statistical …

Holant problems and counting CSP

JY Cai, P Lu, M **a - Proceedings of the forty-first annual ACM …, 2009 - dl.acm.org
We propose and explore a novel alternative framework to study the complexity of counting
problems, called Holant Problems. Compared to counting Constrained Satisfaction …

A complete dichotomy rises from the capture of vanishing signatures

JY Cai, H Guo, T Williams - Proceedings of the forty-fifth annual ACM …, 2013 - dl.acm.org
We prove a complexity dichotomy theorem for Holant problems over an arbitrary set of
complex-valued symmetric constraint functions {F} on Boolean variables. This extends and …

[HTML][HTML] The complexity of complex weighted Boolean# CSP

JY Cai, P Lu, M **a - Journal of Computer and System Sciences, 2014 - Elsevier
We prove a complexity dichotomy theorem for the most general form of Boolean# CSP
where every constraint function takes values in the field of complex numbers C. We first give …

Contraction: A unified perspective of correlation decay and zero-freeness of 2-spin systems

S Shao, Y Sun - Journal of Statistical Physics, 2021 - Springer
We study the connection between the correlation decay property (more precisely, strong
spatial mixing) and the zero-freeness of the partition function of 2-spin systems on graphs of …

Nonnegative weighted# CSP: an effective complexity dichotomy

JY Cai, X Chen, P Lu - SIAM Journal on Computing, 2016 - SIAM
We prove a complexity dichotomy theorem for counting constraint satisfaction problems (#
CSPs) with nonnegative and algebraic weights. This caps a long series of important results …

Holographic algorithms by Fibonacci gates and holographic reductions for hardness

JY Cai, P Lu, M **a - 2008 49th Annual IEEE Symposium on …, 2008 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We propose a new method to prove complexity dichotomy theorems. First we introduce
Fibonacci gates which provide a new class of polynomial time holographic algorithms. Then …
