High-Precision Computation and PSLQ Identification of Stokes Multipliers for Anharmonic Oscillators

Abstract

We present a large-scale computational study combining arbitrary-precision arithmetic, sequence acceleration, and the PSLQ integer relation algorithm to discover exact closed-form expressions for fundamental constants arising in asymptotic analysis. We compute the Stokes multipliers C_M of the one-dimensional anharmonic oscillators H = p^2/2 + x^2/2 + g x^{2M} for M = 2, 3, ..., 11, extracting 17-30 significant digits from up to 1200 perturbation coefficients computed at 300-digit working precision. The computational pipeline consists of three stages: (i) Rayleigh-Schrodinger recursion in the harmonic oscillator basis, (ii) Richardson extrapolation of order 40-100 to accelerate convergence of ratio sequences, and (iii) PSLQ searches over bases of Gamma-function values and algebraic numbers. This pipeline discovers three new exact identities: C_3^2 pi^4 = 32, C_5^4 Gamma(1/4)^4 pi^5 = 2^{12} 3^2, and C_7^6 Gamma(1/3)^9 pi^6 = 2^{20} 3^3, in addition to confirming the known C_2^2 pi^3 = 6. Equally significant is a negative result: exhaustive PSLQ searches at 30-digit precision with coefficient bounds up to 2000 find no closed form for C_4, strongly suggesting the x^8 case introduces a genuinely new transcendental number. A number-theoretic pattern emerges: closed-form existence correlates with Euler's totient function phi(M-1)/2, which counts algebraically independent Gamma-function transcendentals at denominator M-1. We formulate conjectures connecting computational constant recognition to classical number theory, and provide all code and data for full reproducibility.

Ozaki Scheme II: A GEMM-oriented emulation of floating-point matrix multiplication using an integer modular technique

This paper addresses emulation algorithms for matrix multiplication. General Matrix-Matrix Multiplication (GEMM), a fundamental operation in the Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms (BLAS), is typically optimized for specific hardware architectures. The Ozaki scheme is a well-established GEMM-based emulation method for matrix multiplication, wherein input matrices are decomposed into several low-precision components to ensure that the resulting matrix product is computed exactly through numerical operations. This study proposes a novel GEMM-based emulation method for matrix multiplication that leverages the Chinese Remainder Theorem. The proposed method inherits the computational efficiency of highly optimized GEMM routines and further enables control over the number of matrix multiplications, which can enhance computational accuracy. We present numerical experiments featuring INT8 Tensor Core operations on GPUs and FP64 arithmetic on CPUs as case studies. The results demonstrate that FP64 emulation using the proposed method achieves performance levels of up to 7.4 to 9.8 TFLOPS on the NVIDIA RTX 4090 and 56.6 to 80.2 TFLOPS on the NVIDIA GH200, exceeding the measured performance of native FP64 arithmetic. Furthermore, for FP64 computations on CPUs, the proposed method achieved up to a 2.3x speedup in emulating quadruple-precision arithmetic compared to the conventional Ozaki scheme.

Eigensolvers for polynomial roots and tensor decomposition

Computing eigenvalues and eigenvectors is at the heart of the solution of many non-linear problems. For instance, finding the roots of polynomial systems reduces to computing joint eigenvectors of operators of multiplication. Similarly, tensor decomposition can be performed via the joint diagonalization of submatrices of the Catalecticant of the tensor. We describe and illustrate symbolic-numeric methods for computing the solutions of these algebraic problems from the computation of joint eigenvectors of commuting operators, and for analysing their multiplicity structure, as well as their implementation in the package AlgebraicSolvers.jl.

The Art of Closed-Formula Defaults: Search-Free Code Generation for Tensor Operators

Agentic search and automated optimization of GPU kernels are powerful tools for large language model inference. Their effectiveness, however, depends not on the sophistication of the search itself, but on the clarity of the optimization problem being solved. We provide an application-first approach that drives a hierarchical code generation tool from operator specifi cation down to GPU instructions, and show that a clearly defined computational model makes the optimization problem tractable.
