How can I find minimum and maximum eigenvalue of non-positive define matrix

Find your greatest in absolute value eigenvalue, call it $E.$ If it is positive, the matrix $M + 2 EI$ is positive definite, so do whatever you do for positive definite matrices. If it is negative, $M …

Automatic vs numerical differentiation of a function known from samples

Automatic differentiation needs the structure of the function ( computation graph, or preferably a straight line program). In your case, I am not sure how numeric differentiation helps to get a rel …

complexity of computing the singular vector corresponding to the smallest singular value

The question has been studied at some length. See, for example, Hubert Schwetlick and Uwe Schnabel, MR 1997360 Iterative computation of the smallest singular value and the corresponding singular vec …

Solving over-determined system of polynomials

I am not sure I understand what the ellipsis $\dots$ means in the last set of equations, since it seems that you only have pairs $l_i, u_i.$ If that is true, that means that there are $2^n$ possible v …

Multiprecision numerical evaluation of integral: Sage vs. PARI/GP vs. mpmath

Not really appropriate for this site, but Mathematica gives the below (after complaining about convergence problems). On the other hand, integrating your function from $-1$ to $1-\epsilon,$ and using …

Finding a low-degree polynomial vanishing on half the zeroes of a polynomial system

As @Federico notes (but does not say explicitly), the magic words are "spectral factorization" -- for an algorithm see here. I should say that it is very far from clear to what extent the fancy algori …

What software one needs to solve a big linear system on a small computer?

Mathematica will do this with no problems (actually, you can use your GPU to do it REALLY fast). Unlike Maple (apparently) there is no problem getting mathematica to use floating point computation, bu …

Characterizing convex polynomials

To add to @coudy's answer: a polynomial is nonnegative if and only if it is a sum of squares, which gives a slightly different set of equations to be satisfied by the second derivative.

Estimating the volume of a semialgebraic set from above

Here is an algorithm: partition $\mathbb{R}^n$ into cubes of side $1/k.$ For each cube $C_i$, use your favorite quantifier elimination algorithm to check whether the set $S$ intersects it. Then, your …
