Sorting is one of the most used and well investigated algorithmic problem [1]. Traditional postulation supposes the sorting data archived, and the elementary operation as comparisons of two numbers. In a view of appearance of new processors…
In this paper we discuss the basic problems of algorithmic algebraic number theory. The emphasis is on aspects that are of interest from a purely mathematical point of view, and practical issues are largely disregarded. We describe what has…
The First Hilbert problem is studied in this paper by applying two instruments: a new methodology distinguishing between mathematical objects and mathematical languages used to describe these objects; and a new numeral system allowing one…
We present new theoretical algorithms that sums the n-ary comparators output in order to get the permutation indices in order to sort a sequence. By analysing the parallel ranking algorithm, we found that the special comparators number of…
We consider the problem of sorting $n$ items, given the outcomes of $m$ pre-existing comparisons. We present a simple and natural deterministic algorithm that runs in $O(m + \log T)$ time and does $O(\log T)$ comparisons, where $T$ is the…
The problem of ranking can be described as follows. We have a set of combinatorial objects $S$, such as, say, the k-subsets of n things, and we can imagine that they have been arranged in some list, say lexicographically, and we want to…
This paper discusses about a sorting algorithm which uses the concept of buckets where each bucket represents a certain number of digits. A two dimensional data structure is used where one dimension represents buckets i. e; number of digits…
We explore the fundamental problem of sorting through the lens of learning-augmented algorithms, where algorithms can leverage possibly erroneous predictions to improve their efficiency. We consider two different settings: In the first…
Sorting is one of the most fundamental problems in the field of computer science. With the rapid development of manycore processors, it shows great importance to design efficient parallel sort algorithm on manycore architecture. This paper…
We give the first sorting algorithm with bounds in terms of higher-order entropies: let $S$ be a sequence of length $m$ containing $n$ distinct elements and let (H_\ell (S)) be the $\ell$th-order empirical entropy of $S$, with (n^{\ell + 1}…
The query containment problem is a fundamental algorithmic problem in data management. While this problem is well understood under set semantics, it is by far less understood under bag semantics. In particular, it is a long-standing open…
We examine sorting algorithms for $n$ elements whose basic operation is comparing $t$ elements simultaneously (a $t$-comparator). We focus on algorithms that use only a single round or two rounds -- comparisons performed in the second round…
This paper deals with the Darcy-Forchheimer problem with two kinds of boundary conditions. We discretize the system by using the finite element methods and we propose two iterative schemes to solve the discrete problems. The well-posedness…
A fast algorithm to study one-dimensional self-gravitating systems, and, more generally, systems that are Lagrangian integrable between collisions, is presented. The algorithm is event-driven, and uses a heap-ordered set of predicted future…
We demonstrate a method to optimize the combination of distinct components in a paragraph retrieval system. Our system makes use of several indices, query generators and filters, each of them potentially contributing to the quality of the…
In a previous paper (q-alg/9501022) we suggested some algorithms that could be useful in solving the problem of knot classification. Here we continue this discussion by answering questions raised in that paper and by commenting on practical…
We investigate numerical solutions of high order curl problems with various formulations and finite elements. We show that several classical conforming finite elements lead to spurious solutions, while mixed formulations with finite…
We estimate, in a number field, the number of elements and the maximal number of linearly independent elements, with prescribed bounds on their valuations. As a by-product, we obtain new bounds for the successive minima of ideal lattices.…
Tagging items with descriptive annotations or keywords is a very natural way to compress and highlight information about the properties of the given entity. Over the years several methods have been proposed for extracting a hierarchy…
This paper proposes new derivations of three well-known sorting algorithms, in their functional formulation. The approach we use is based on three main ingredients: first, the algorithms are derived from a simpler algorithm, i.e. the…
