For any synchronizing $n$-state deterministic automaton, \v{C}ern\'{y} conjectures the existence of a synchronizing word of length at most $(n-1)^2$. We prove that there exists a synchronizing word of length at most $2n^2 - 7n + 7$ for…
We prove that for any $\varepsilon>0$, a non-deterministic Turing machine $\mathcal{T}$ with time complexity $T(n)$ can be emulated by an $S$-machine with time and space complexities at most $T(n)^{1+\varepsilon}$ and $T(n)$, respectively.…
While prior work established a verifier-based polynomial-time framework for NP, explicit deterministic machines for concrete NP-complete problems have remained elusive. In this paper, we construct fully specified deterministic Turing…
In the paper we define three new complexity classes for Turing Machine undecidable problems inspired by the famous Cook/Levin's NP-complete complexity class for intractable problems. These are U-complete (Universal complete), D-complete…
The notion of quantum Turing machines is a basis of quantum complexity theory. We discuss a general model of multi-tape, multi-head Quantum Turing machines with multi final states that also allow tape heads to stay still.
This paper presents a novel idea for the general case of the Common Due-Date (CDD) scheduling problem. The problem is about scheduling a certain number of jobs on a single or parallel machines where all the jobs possess different processing…
This paper formalises the Canadian Traveller problem as a positional two-player game on graphs. We consider two variants depending on whether an edge is blocked. In the locally-informed variant, the traveller learns if an edge is blocked…
Suppose that A is a finite set of integers of diameter D. Suppose also that the set of integers B is such that A+B is a tiling of the integers, that is each integer is uniquely expressible as a+b, with a in A, b in B. It is well known that…
Motivated by studying the power of randomness, certifying algorithms and barriers for fine-grained reductions, we investigate the question whether the multiplication of two $n\times n$ matrices can be performed in near-optimal…
We give algorithms with running time $2^{O({\sqrt{k}\log{k}})} \cdot n^{O(1)}$ for the following problems. Given an $n$-vertex unit disk graph $G$ and an integer $k$, decide whether $G$ contains (1) a path on exactly/at least $k$ vertices,…
A polynomial Turing kernel for some parameterized problem $P$ is a polynomial-time algorithm that solves $P$ using queries to an oracle of $P$ whose sizes are upper-bounded by some polynomial in the parameter. Here the term "polynomial"…
Interior point algorithms for solving linear programs have been studied extensively for a long time [e.g. Karmarkar 1984; Lee, Sidford FOCS'14; Cohen, Lee, Song STOC'19]. For linear programs of the form $\min_{Ax=b, x \ge 0} c^\top x$ with…
The work is concerned with the trade-offs between the dimension and the time and space complexity of computations on nondeterministic cellular automata. It is proved, that 1). Every NCA $\Cal A$ of dimension $r$, computing a predicate $P$…
We show that deterministic quantum computing with a single bit (DQC1) can determine whether the classical limit of a quantum system is chaotic or integrable using O(N) physical resources, where $N$ is the dimension of the Hilbert space of…
Given a member A of the class of non-deterministic timed automata with silent transitions (eNTA), we effectively compute its timestamp: the set of all pairs (time value, action) of all observable timed traces of A, a generalization of the…
In this article we consider two-way two-tape (alternating) automata accepting pairs of words and we study some closure properties of this model. Our main result is that such alternating automata are not closed under complementation for…
A decision tree recursively splits a feature space $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ and then assigns class labels based on the resulting partition. Decision trees have been part of the basic machine-learning toolkit for decades. A large body of work treats…
We introduce a new technique for designing fixed-parameter algorithms for cut problems, namely randomized contractions. We apply our framework to obtain the first FPT algorithm for the Unique Label Cover problem and new FPT algorithms with…
We define a class of stochastic processes based on evolutions and measurements of quantum systems, and consider the complexity of predicting their long-term behavior. It is shown that a very general class of decision problems regarding…
One of the most fundamental problems in Computer Science is the Knapsack problem. Given a set of n items with different weights and values, it asks to pick the most valuable subset whose total weight is below a capacity threshold T. Despite…
