We prove a generalization of the author's work to show that any subset of the primes which is `well-distributed' in arithmetic progressions contains many primes which are close together. Moreover, our bounds hold with some uniformity in the…

Sequence classification algorithms, such as SVM, require a definition of distance (similarity) measure between two sequences. A commonly used notion of similarity is the number of matches between $k$-mers ($k$-length subsequences) in the…

We review some probabilistic properties of the sum-of-digits function of random integers. New asymptotic approximations to the total variation distance and its refinements are also derived. Four different approaches are used: a classical…

This paper deals with the following question: Suppose that there exist an integer or a non-negative integer solution $x$ to a system $Ax = b$, where the number of non-zero components of $x$ is $n$. The target is, for a given natural number…

A solution for Smale's 17th problem, for the case of systems with bounded degree was recently given. This solution, an algorithm computing approximate zeros of complex polynomial systems in average polynomial time, assumed infinite…

In recent years, large-scale Bayesian learning draws a great deal of attention. However, in big-data era, the amount of data we face is growing much faster than our ability to deal with it. Fortunately, it is observed that large-scale…

In scientific computing, it is common that a mathematical expression can be computed by many different algorithms (sometimes over hundreds), each identifying a specific sequence of library calls. Although mathematically equivalent, those…

The prime-counting function $\pi(x)$ which returns the number of primes smaller or equal to a given number is a topic of interest in number theory. An algorithm based on a cyclic group isomorphic to $Z/nZ$, the so-called $Z$-functions, was…

Many hard combinatorial problems can be mapped onto Ising models, which replicate the behavior of classical spins. Recent advances in probabilistic computers are characterized by parallelization and the introduction of novel hardware…

This paper considers the problem of positive semidefinite factorization (PSD factorization), a generalization of exact nonnegative matrix factorization. Given an $m$-by-$n$ nonnegative matrix $X$ and an integer $k$, the PSD factorization…

For a set of primes $\mathcal{P}$, let $\Psi(x, \mathcal{P})$ be the number of positive integers $n \leq x$ all of whose prime factors lie in $\mathcal{P}$. In this paper we classify the sets of primes $\mathcal{P}$ such that $\Psi(x,…

In this paper we describe a deep learning--based probabilistic algorithm for integer factorisation. We use Lawrence's extension of Fermat's factorisation algorithm to reduce the integer factorisation problem to a binary classification…

We show that both the Lempel Ziv 77- and the 78-factorization of a text of length $n$ on an integer alphabet of size $\sigma$ can be computed in $O(n \lg \lg \sigma)$ time (linear time if we allow randomization) using $O(n \lg \sigma)$ bits…

As far as we know, usual computer algebra packages can not compute denumerants for almost medium (about a hundred digits) or almost medium--large (about a thousand digits) input data in a reasonably time cost on an ordinary computer.…

Large integer factorization is a prominent research challenge, particularly in the context of quantum computing. This holds significant importance, especially in information security that relies on public key cryptosystems. The classical…

This paper is concerned with the relationship of $y$-smooth integers and de Bruijn's approximation $\Lambda(x,y)$. Under the Riemann hypothesis, Saias proved that the count of $y$-smooth integers up to $x$, $\Psi(x,y)$, is asymptotic to…

Numerous methods have been considered to create a fast integer factorization algorithm. Despite its apparent simplicity, the difficulty to find such an algorithm plays a crucial role in modern cryptography, notably, in the security of RSA…

$k$-Clustering in $\mathbb{R}^d$ (e.g., $k$-median and $k$-means) is a fundamental machine learning problem. While near-linear time approximation algorithms were known in the classical setting for a dataset with cardinality $n$, it remains…
