A tuple (Z_1,...,Z_p) of matrices of size r is said to be a commuting extension of a tuple (A_1,...,A_p) of matrices of size n <r if the Z_i pairwise commute and each A_i sits in the upper left corner of a block decomposition of Z_i. This…
One of the most powerful techniques to study protein structures is to look for recurrent fragments (also called substructures or spatial motifs), then use them as patterns to characterize the proteins under study. An emergent trend consists…
This paper introduces a novel algorithm combination designed for fast one-to-many multicriteria shortest path search. A preprocessing algorithm excludes irrelevant vertices by building a smaller cover graph. A modified version of…
A graph with n vertices is 1-planar if it can be drawn in the plane such that each edge is crossed at most once, and is optimal if it has the maximum of 4n-8 edges. We show that optimal 1-planar graphs can be recognized in linear time. Our…
One matrix structure in the area of monotone Boolean functions is defined here. Some of its combinatorial, algebraic and algorithmic properties are derived. On the base of these properties, three algorithms are built. First of them…
The authors and Fischer recently proved that any hereditary property of two-dimensional matrices (where the row and column order is not ignored) over a finite alphabet is testable with a constant number of queries, by establishing the…
The fundamental question considered in algorithms on strings is that of indexing, that is, preprocessing a given string for specific queries. By now we have a number of efficient solutions for this problem when the queries ask for an exact…
In 2003 COHN and UMANS introduced a group-theoretic approach to fast matrix multiplication. This involves finding large subsets of a group $G$ satisfying the Triple Product Property (TPP) as a means to bound the exponent $\omega$ of matrix…
We describe the conditions under which a set of continuous variables or characters can be described as an X-tree or a split network. A distance matrix corresponds exactly to a split network or a valued X-tree if, after ordering of the taxa,…
A 0-1 matrix $M$ contains a 0-1 matrix $P$ if $M$ has a submatrix $P'$ which can be turned into $P$ by changing some of the ones to zeroes. Matrix $M$ is $P$-saturated if $M$ does not contain $P$, but any matrix $M'$ derived from $M$ by…
The binary Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) is to decide whether there exists an assignment to a set of variables which satisfies specified constraints between pairs of variables. A binary CSP instance can be presented as a labelled…
A palindrome is a string that reads the same forward and backward. A palindromic substring $w$ of a string $T$ is called a minimal unique palindromic substring (MUPS) of $T$ if $w$ occurs only once in $T$ and any proper palindromic…
Trellises provide a graphical representation for the row space of a matrix. The product construction of Kschischang and Sorokine builds minimal conventional trellises from matrices in minimal span form. Koetter and Vardy showed that minimal…
The M-P (Moore-Penrose) pseudoinverse has as a key application the computation of least-squares solutions of inconsistent systems of linear equations. Irrespective of whether a given input matrix is sparse, its M-P pseudoinverse can be…
In a capacitated directed graph, it is known that the set of all min-cuts forms a distributive lattice [1], [2]. Here, we describe this lattice as a regular predicate whose forbidden elements can be advanced in constant parallel time after…
Motivated by the problem of reducing the peak to average power ratio (PAPR) of transmitted signals, we consider a design of complementary set matrices whose column sequences satisfy a correlation constraint. The design algorithm recursively…
An index coding problem is called unicast-uniprior when each receiver demands a unique subset of messages while knowing another unique subset of messages apriori as side-information. In this work, we give an algorithm to compute the minrank…
A linear parameter must be consumed exactly once in the body of its function. When declaring resources such as file handles and manually managed memory as linear arguments, a linear type system can verify that these resources are used…
A matrix always has a full rank submatrix such that the rank of this matrix is equal to the rank of that submatrix. This property is one of the corner stones of the matrix rank theory. We call this property the max-full-rank-submatrix…
In this paper, it is shown that a necessary condition for unique identifiability of $K$ chirps from $N$ regularly spaced samples of their mixture is $N\geq 2K$ when $K\geq 2$. A necessary and sufficient condition is that a rank-constrained…
