In the last decade, an impressive increase in software adaptions has led to a surge in log data production, making manual log analysis impractical and establishing the necessity for automated methods. Conversely, most automated analysis…

A reachability oracle (or hop labeling) assigns each vertex v two sets of vertices: Lout(v) and Lin(v), such that u reaches v iff Lout(u) \cap Lin(v) \neq \emptyset. Despite their simplicity and elegance, reachability oracles have failed to…

The annihilation number $a(G)$ of a graph $G$ is an efficiently computable upper bound on the independence number $\alpha(G)$ of $G$. Recently, Hiller observed that a characterization of the graphs $G$ with $\alpha(G)=a(G)$ due to Larson…

In [Discrete differential calculus on simplicial complexes and constrained homology, Chin. Ann. Math. Ser. B 44(4), 615-640, 2023], the constrained (co)homology for simplicial complexes and independence hypergraphs is constructed via…

Consistent hashing is a technique that can minimize key remapping when the number of hash buckets changes. The paper proposes a fast consistent hash algorithm (called power consistent hash) that has $O(1)$ expected time for key lookup,…

Given a separable unital C*algebra $C$, let $E_n$ denote the Hilbert module equal to the completion of the Schwartz space of rapidly decreasing smooth functions from $R^n$ to $C$ equipped with the $C$-valued inner product given by…

Recent advances in random linear systems on finite fields have paved the way for the construction of constant-time data structures representing static functions and minimal perfect hash functions using less space with respect to existing…

Cayley hash functions are based on a simple idea of using a pair of semigroup elements, A and B, to hash the 0 and 1 bit, respectively, and then to hash an arbitrary bit string in the natural way, by using multiplication of elements in the…

In multiple-choice data structures each element $x$ in a set $S$ of $m$ keys is associated with a random set $e(x) \subseteq [n]$ of buckets with capacity $\ell \geq 1$ by hash functions. This setting is captured by the hypergraph $H =…

These lecture notes show that linear probing takes expected constant time if the hash function is 5-independent. This result was first proved by Pagh et al. [STOC'07,SICOMP'09]. The simple proof here is essentially taken from [Patrascu and…

Given a graph $G$ and two independent sets $I_s$ and $I_t$ of size $k$, the independent set reconfiguration problem asks whether there exists a sequence of $k$-sized independent sets $I_s = I_0, I_1, I_2, \ldots, I_\ell = I_t$ such that…

Table structure recognition (TSR) requires both table-level coherence (row/column counts, headers, spanning cells) and precise separator localization. We introduce FastTab, a grid-centric TSR model that avoids autoregressive HTML decoding…

Let $(c_k)_{k\in \mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence of positive integers. We investigate the set of $A>1$ such that the integer part of $A^{c_1\cdots c_k}$ is always a prime number for every positive integer $k$. Let $\mathcal{W}(c_k)$ be this set.…

We consider the hashing of a set $X\subseteq U$ with $|X|=m$ using a simple tabulation hash function $h:U\to [n]=\{0,\dots,n-1\}$ and analyse the number of non-empty bins, that is, the size of $h(X)$. We show that the expected size of…

The purpose of this paper is to combine classical methods from transcendental number theory with the technique of restriction to real scalars. We develop a conceptual approach relating transcendence properties of algebraic groups to results…

We give a sufficient condition for an algebraic structure to have a computable presentation with a computable basis and a computable presentation with no computable basis. We apply the condition to differentially closed, real closed, and…

A classic data structure problem is to preprocess a string T of length $n$ so that, given a query $q$, we can quickly find all substrings of T with Hamming distance at most $k$ from the query string. Variants of this problem have seen…

For an extension A/B of neither necessarily associative nor necessarily unital rings, we investigate the connection between simplicity of A with a property that we call A-simplicity of B. By this we mean that there is no non-trivial ideal I…

This paper proposes a method for identification of a user`s fixed string set (which can be a command/instruction set for a terminal or microprocessor). This method is fast and has very small memory requirements, compared to a traditional…

We consider the dictionary problem in external memory and improve the update time of the well-known buffer tree by roughly a logarithmic factor. For any \lambda >= max {lg lg n, log_{M/B} (n/B)}, we can support updates in time O(\lambda /…
