In this paper, we study the problem of computing Euclidean geodesic centers of a polygonal domain $\mathcal{P}$ with a total of $n$ vertices. We discover many interesting observations. We give a necessary condition for a point being a…
Trees are useful entities allowing to model data structures and hierarchical relationships in networked decision systems ubiquitously. An ordered tree is a rooted tree where the order of the subtrees (children) of a node is significant. In…
We consider the group isomorphism problem: given two finite groups G and H specified by their multiplication tables, decide if G and H are isomorphic. The n^(log n) barrier for group isomorphism has withstood all attacks --- even for the…
In this paper we give a polynomial-time quantum algorithm for computing orders of solvable groups. Several other problems, such as testing membership in solvable groups, testing equality of subgroups in a given solvable group, and testing…
We show that for a fixed free group F and an arbitrary finitely generated subgroup H (as given above) we can perform the Stalling's folding process in time O(N log^*(N)), where N is the sum of the word lengths of the given generators of H.
We introduce a compressed suffix array representation that, on a text $T$ of length $n$ over an alphabet of size $\sigma$, can be built in $O(n)$ deterministic time, within $O(n\log\sigma)$ bits of working space, and counts the number of…
According to the pioneering work of Nielsen and collaborators, the length of the minimal geodesic in a geometric realization of a suitable operator space provides a measure of the quantum complexity of an operation. Compared with the…
This paper presents a novel approach to automatically solving arithmetic word problems. This is the first algorithmic approach that can handle arithmetic problems with multiple steps and operations, without depending on additional…
The Groebner walk is an algorithm for conversion between Groebner bases for different term orders. It is based on the polyhedral geometry of the Groebner fan and involves tracking a line between cones representing the initial and target…
We consider low-space algorithms for the classic Element Distinctness problem: given an array of $n$ input integers with $O(\log n)$ bit-length, decide whether or not all elements are pairwise distinct. Beame, Clifford, and Machmouchi [FOCS…
The word problem of a group is a very important question. The word problem in the braid group is of particular interest for topologists, algebraists and geometers. In previouse article we have looked at the braid group from a topological…
Word Break is a prototypical factorization problem in string processing: Given a word $w$ of length $N$ and a dictionary $\mathcal{D} = \{d_1, d_2, \ldots, d_{K}\}$ of $K$ strings, determine whether we can partition $w$ into words from…
We consider three important and well-studied algorithmic problems in group theory: the word, geodesic, and conjugacy problem. We show transfer results from individual groups to graph products. We concentrate on logspace complexity because…
The main component of (constructive) recognition algorithms for black box groups of Lie type in computational group theory is the construction of unipotent elements. In the existing algorithms unipotent elements are found by random search…
In this paper we present a new parsing algorithm for linear indexed grammars (LIGs) in the same spirit as the one described in (Vijay-Shanker and Weir, 1993) for tree adjoining grammars. For a LIG $L$ and an input string $x$ of length $n$,…
A universal method to solve the differential equations of light-like geodesics is developed. The validity of this method depends on a new theorem, which is introduced for light-like geodesics in analogy to Beltrami's "geometrical" method…
Given an undirected planar graph G with n vertices and a set S of n points inside a simple polygon P, a point-set embedding of G on S is a planar drawing of G such that each vertex is mapped to a distinct point of S and the edges are…
If a (cusped) surface S admits an ideal triangulation T with no shears, we show an efficient algorithm to give S as a quotient of hypebolic plane by a subgroup of PSL(2, Z). The algorithm runs in time O(n log n), where n is the number of…
Gaussian processes (GPs) produce good probabilistic models of functions, but most GP kernels require $O((n+m)n^2)$ time, where $n$ is the number of data points and $m$ the number of predictive locations. We present a new kernel that allows…
In this paper, we study the linear separability problem for stochastic geometric objects under the well-known unipoint/multipoint uncertainty models. Let $S=S_R \cup S_B$ be a given set of stochastic bichromatic points, and define $n =…
