Pattern matching is a fundamental process in almost every scientific domain. The problem involves finding the positions of a given pattern (usually of short length) in a reference stream of data (usually of large length). The matching can…

Given a sequence of integers, we want to find a longest increasing subsequence of the sequence. It is known that this problem can be solved in $O(n \log n)$ time and space. Our goal in this paper is to reduce the space consumption while…

We develop a new algorithmic technique that allows to transfer some constant time approximation algorithms for general graphs into random order streaming algorithms. We illustrate our technique by proving that in random order streams with…

We show the $O(\log n)$ time extract minimum function of efficient priority queues can be generalized to the extraction of the $k$ smallest elements in $O(k \log(n/k))$ time (we define $\log(x)$ as $\max(\log_2(x), 1)$.), which we prove…

We propose an algorithm with expected complexity of $\bigO(n\log n)$ arithmetic operations to solve a special shortest vector problem arising in computer-and-forward design, where $n$ is the dimension of the channel vector. This algorithm…

We study the rank of the random $n\times m$ 0/1 matrix ${\bf A}_{n,m;k}$ where each column is chosen independently from the set $\Omega_{n,k}$ of 0/1 vectors with exactly $k$ 1's. Here 0/1 are the elements of the field $GF_2$. We obtain an…

The issue of data-driven neural network model construction is one of the core problems in the domain of Artificial Intelligence. A standard approach assumes a fixed architecture with trainable weights. A conceptually more advanced…

Given a weighted bipartite graph $G = (L, R, E, w)$, the maximum weight matching (MWM) problem seeks to find a matching $M \subseteq E$ that maximizes the total weight $\sum_{e \in M} w(e)$. This paper presents a novel algorithm with a time…

It is well-known that, given a probability distribution over $n$ characters, in the worst case it takes (\Theta (n \log n)) bits to store a prefix code with minimum expected codeword length. However, in this paper we first show that, for…

We investigate the construction of prefix-free and fix-free codes with specified codeword compositions. We present a polynomial time algorithm which constructs a fix-free code with the same codeword compositions as a given code for a…

This paper addresses the problem of finding a representation of a subtree distance, which is an extension of the tree metric. We show that a minimal representation is uniquely determined by a given subtree distance, and give a linear time…

An absent word of a word y of length n is a word that does not occur in y. It is a minimal absent word if all its proper factors occur in y. Minimal absent words have been computed in genomes of organisms from all domains of life; their…

A $c$-short program for a string $x$ is a description of $x$ of length at most $C(x) + c$, where $C(x)$ is the Kolmogorov complexity of $x$. We show that there exists a randomized algorithm that constructs a list of $n$ elements that…

We give a randomized algorithm that finds a minimum cut in an undirected weighted $m$-edge $n$-vertex graph $G$ with high probability in $O(m \log^2 n)$ time. This is the first improvement to Karger's celebrated $O(m \log^3 n)$ time…

We introduce a new approach to LZ77 factorization that uses O(n/d) words of working space and O(dn) time for any d >= 1 (for polylogarithmic alphabet sizes). We also describe carefully engineered implementations of alternative approaches to…
