Integer sorts in OLAP engines often run on columns whose cardinality $K$ is much smaller than the array length $N$. After a group-by stage the intermediate key column has $K$ bounded by the number of distinct group keys, and even a…

We study a fundamental model of online preference aggregation, where an algorithm maintains an ordered list of $n$ elements. An input is a stream of preferred sets $R_1, R_2, \dots, R_t, \dots$. Upon seeing $R_t$ and without knowledge of…

Network reconstruction consists in determining the unobserved pairwise couplings between $N$ nodes given only observational data on the resulting behavior that is conditioned on those couplings -- typically a time-series or independent…

The lattice $A_n^*$ is an important lattice because of its covering properties in low dimensions. Clarkson \cite{Clarkson1999:Anstar} described an algorithm to compute the nearest lattice point in $A_n^*$ that requires $O(n\log{n})$…

Let $L$ be a set of $n$ lines in the plane. The zone $Z(\ell)$ of a line $\ell$ in the arrangement $\mathcal{A}(L)$ of $L$ is the set of faces of $\mathcal{A}(L)$ whose closure intersects $\ell$. It is known that the combinatorial size of…

We give a deterministic O(log n)^n algorithm for the {\em Shortest Vector Problem (SVP)} of a lattice under {\em any} norm, improving on the previous best deterministic bound of n^O(n) for general norms and nearly matching the bound of…

Let ${\mathcal C}$ be a proper minor-closed family of graphs. We present a randomized algorithm that given a graph $G \in {\mathcal C}$ with $n$ vertices, finds a simple cycle of size $k$ in $G$ (if exists) in $2^{O(k)}n$ time. The…

Sparse suffix sorting is the problem of sorting $b=o(n)$ suffixes of a string of length $n$. Efficient sparse suffix sorting algorithms have existed for more than a decade. Despite the multitude of works and their justified claims for…

We present a new algorithm for finding a near optimal low-rank approximation of a matrix $A$ in $O(nnz(A))$ time. Our method is based on a recursive sampling scheme for computing a representative subset of $A$'s columns, which is then used…

A novel integer value-sorting technique is proposed replacing bucket sort, distribution counting sort and address calculation sort family of algorithms. It requires only constant amount of additional memory. The technique is inspired from…

We propose logical characterizations of problems solvable in deterministic polylogarithmic time (PolylogTime) and polylogarithmic space (PolylogSpace). We introduce a novel two-sorted logic that separates the elements of the input domain…

Kallampally and Tewari showed in 2016 that there can be a trade-off between determinism and time in space-bounded computations. This they did by describing an unambiguous non-deterministic algorithm to solve Directed Graph Reachability that…

Sublinear time quantum algorithms have been established for many fundamental problems on strings. This work demonstrates that new, faster quantum algorithms can be designed when the string is highly compressible. We focus on two popular and…

We present one stable mergesort algorithm, called \Adaptive Shivers Sort, that exploits the existence of monotonic runs for sorting efficiently partially sorted data. We also prove that, although this algorithm is simple to implement, its…

Given an $n$-bit array $A$, the succinct rank data structure problem asks to construct a data structure using space $n+r$ bits for $r\ll n$, supporting rank queries of form $\mathtt{rank}(x)=\sum_{i=0}^{x-1} A[i]$. In this paper, we design…

Zeroth-order (derivative-free) optimization attracts a lot of attention in machine learning, because explicit gradient calculations may be computationally expensive or infeasible. To handle large scale problems both in volume and dimension,…

A wide range of implicit time integration methods, including multi-step, implicit Runge-Kutta, and Galerkin finite-time element schemes, is evaluated in the context of chaotic dynamical systems. The schemes are applied to solve the Lorenz…

Sorting is one of the most basic primitives in many algorithms and data analysis tasks. Comparison-based sorting algorithms, like quick-sort and merge-sort, are known to be optimal when the outcome of each comparison is error-free. However,…

In this paper, we present a framework based on a simple data structure and parameterized algorithms for the problems of finding items in an unsorted list of linearly ordered items based on their rank (selection) or value (search). As a…
