Given a set $Z$ of $n$ positive integers and a target value $t$, the Subset Sum problem asks whether any subset of $Z$ sums to $t$. A textbook pseudopolynomial time algorithm by Bellman from 1957 solves Subset Sum in time $O(nt)$. This has…

The classical division algorithm for polynomials requires $O(n^2)$ operations for inputs of size $n$. Using reversal technique and Newton iteration, it can be improved to $O({M}(n))$, where ${M}$ is a multiplication time. But the method…
Classically, the edit distance of two length-$n$ strings can be computed in $O(n^2)$ time, whereas an $O(n^{2-\epsilon})$-time procedure would falsify the Orthogonal Vectors Hypothesis. If the edit distance does not exceed $k$, the running…

Given a multiset $X=\{x_1,..., x_n\}$ of real numbers, the {\it floating-point set summation} problem asks for $S_n=x_1+...+x_n$. Let $E^*_n$ denote the minimum worst-case error over all possible orderings of evaluating $S_n$. We prove that…

$ $In its usual form, Grover's quantum search algorithm uses $O(\sqrt{N})$ queries and $O(\sqrt{N} \log N)$ other elementary gates to find a solution in an $N$-bit database. Grover in 2002 showed how to reduce the number of other gates to…
