Dense Pinwheel Packing Is Strongly NP-Complete

arXiv:2609.20075v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: An instance of {\sc Pinwheel Packing} is a list of positive integers $a_1,\ldots,a_k$. A feasible schedule assigns one task to every integer time so that every interval of…

Complexity Of Output Feedback Stabilization

arXiv:2609.20636v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We show that unless P = NP, there cannot be a polynomial-time (or even pseudo-polynomial-time) algorithm for output feedback stabilization of a linear dynamical system…

NEXP-Completeness of Existential Presburger Arithmetic with Divisibility

arXiv:2606.14167v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We prove that satisfiability for existential Presburger arithmetic with divisibility (EPAD) is NEXP-hard. Together with the known NEXP upper bound, this…

Marton's conjecture in polynomial time

arXiv:2609.20771v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Gowers, Green, Manners, and Tao (Annals '25) recently resolved Marton's polynomial Freiman-Ruzsa conjecture. We give an algorithmic counterpart to their result: given…

A Strongly Aperiodic Monotile in Three Dimensions

arXiv:2609.19214v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Socolar and Taylor asked for a single, simply connected three-dimensional prototile that forces nonperiodicity by shape alone, admitting no weakly nonperiodic tiling;…
