We consider the problem of finding a minimum cut of a weighted graph presented as a single-pass stream. While graph sparsification in streams has been intensively studied, the specific application of finding minimum cuts in streams is less…
We develop an extension of recently developed methods for obtaining time-space tradeoff lower bounds for problems of learning from random test samples to handle the situation where the space of tests is signficantly smaller than the space…
The sliding window model of computation captures scenarios in which data are continually arriving in the form of a stream, and only the most recent $w$ items are used for analysis. In this setting, an algorithm needs to accurately track…
In the kSUM problem we are given an array of numbers $a_1,a_2,...,a_n$ and we are required to determine if there are $k$ different elements in this array such that their sum is 0. This problem is a parameterized version of the well-studied…
We show that the known list-decoding algorithms for univariate multiplicity and folded Reed-Solomon codes can be made to run in $\tilde{O}(n)$ time. Univariate multiplicity codes and FRS codes are natural variants of Reed-Solomon codes that…
Many signal processing problems can be solved by maximizing the fitness of a segmented model over all possible partitions of the data interval. This letter describes a simple but powerful algorithm that searches the exponentially large…
We consider the classic Set Cover problem in the data stream model. For $n$ elements and $m$ sets ($m\geq n$) we give a $O(1/\delta)$-pass algorithm with a strongly sub-linear $\tilde{O}(mn^{\delta})$ space and logarithmic approximation…
A palindromic substring $T[i.. j]$ of a string $T$ is said to be a shortest unique palindromic substring (SUPS) in $T$ for an interval $[p, q]$ if $T[i.. j]$ is a shortest palindromic substring such that $T[i.. j]$ occurs only once in $T$,…
We consider space-bounded computations on a random-access machine (RAM) where the input is given on a read-only random-access medium, the output is to be produced to a write-only sequential-access medium, and the available workspace allows…
We consider the canonical Subset Sum problem: given a list of positive integers $a_1,\ldots,a_n$ and a target integer $t$ with $t > a_i$ for all $i$, determine if there is an $S \subseteq [n]$ such that $\sum_{i \in S} a_i = t$. The…
Given an unordered array of $N$ elements drawn from a totally ordered set and an integer $k$ in the range from $1$ to $N$, in the classic selection problem the task is to find the $k$-th smallest element in the array. We study the…
In this work we focus on the problem of finding the heaviest-k and lightest-k hitters in a sliding window data stream. The most recent research endeavours have yielded an epsilon-approximate algorithm with update operations in constant time…
Adversarially robust streaming algorithms are required to process a stream of elements and produce correct outputs, even when each stream element can be chosen as a function of earlier algorithm outputs. As with classic streaming…
We present a self-stabilizing algorithm for the (asynchronous) unison problem which achieves an efficient trade-off between time, workload, and space in a weak model. Precisely, our algorithm is defined in the atomic-state model and works…
Given a set of numbers, the $k$-SUM problem asks for a subset of $k$ numbers that sums to zero. When the numbers are integers, the time and space complexity of $k$-SUM is generally studied in the word-RAM model; when the numbers are reals,…
Indexing of static and dynamic sets is fundamental to a large set of applications such as information retrieval and caching. Denoting the characteristic vector of the set by B, we consider the problem of encoding sets and multisets to…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have significantly impacted many facets of natural language processing and information retrieval. Unlike previous encoder-based approaches, the enlarged context window of these generative models allows for…
A large number of NP-hard graph problems can be solved in $f(w)n^{O(1)}$ time and space when the input graph is provided together with a tree decomposition of width $w$, in many cases with a modest exponential dependence $f(w)$ on $w$.…
Many streaming algorithms provide only a high-probability relative approximation. These two relaxations, of allowing approximation and randomization, seem necessary -- for many streaming problems, both relaxations must be employed…
Let PT-DFA mean a deterministic finite automaton whose transition relation is a partial function. We present an algorithm for minimizing a PT-DFA in $O(m \lg n)$ time and $O(m+n+\alpha)$ memory, where $n$ is the number of states, $m$ is the…
