The Fr\'echet distance is a commonly used similarity measure between curves. It is known how to compute the continuous Fr\'echet distance between two polylines with $m$ and $n$ vertices in $\mathbb{R}^d$ in $O(mn (\log \log n)^2)$ time;…

Erd\H os introduced the quantity $S=T\sum^T_{i=1}X_i$, where $X_1,\dots, X_T$ are arithmetic progressions, and cover the square numbers up to $N$. He conjectured that $S$ is close to $N$, i.e. the square numbers cannot be covered…

Let $\tau$ and $\sigma$ be two polygonal curves in $\mathbb{R}^d$ for any fixed $d$. Suppose that $\tau$ and $\sigma$ have $n$ and $m$ vertices, respectively, and $m\le n$. While conditional lower bounds prevent approximating the Fr\'echet…

Given the importance of floating-point~(FP) performance in numerous domains, several new variants of FP and its alternatives have been proposed (e.g., Bfloat16, TensorFloat32, and Posits). These representations do not have correctly rounded…
