Described are two algorithms to find long approximate palindromes in a string, for example a DNA sequence. A simple algorithm requires O(n)-space and almost always runs in $O(k.n)$-time where n is the length of the string and k is the…
The clique problems, including $k$-CLIQUE and Triangle Finding, form an important class of computational problems; the former is an NP-complete problem, while the latter directly gives lower bounds for Matrix Multiplication. A number of…
In this paper we initiate a systematic study of exact algorithms for well-known clustering problems, namely $k$-Median and $k$-Means. In $k$-Median, the input consists of a set $X$ of $n$ points belonging to a metric space, and the task is…
The stable roommates problem with $n$ agents has worst case complexity $O(n^2)$ in time and space. Random instances can be solved faster and with less memory, however. We introduce an algorithm that has average time and space complexity…
In this paper, we seek a natural problem and a natural distribution of instances such that any $O(n^{c-\epsilon})$-time algorithm fails to solve most instances drawn from the distribution, while the problem admits an $n^{c+o(1)}$-time…
Motivated by many applications, we study clustering with a faulty oracle. In this problem, there are $n$ items belonging to $k$ unknown clusters, and the algorithm is allowed to ask the oracle whether two items belong to the same cluster or…
This research addresses the multiprocessor scheduling problem of hard real-time systems, and it especially focuses on optimal and global schedulers when practical constraints are taken into account. First, we propose an improvement of the…
The 3SUM problem is to decide, given a set of $n$ real numbers, whether any three sum to zero. It is widely conjectured that a trivial $O(n^2)$-time algorithm is optimal and over the years the consequences of this conjecture have been…
We design a space-efficient algorithm for performing depth-first search traversal(DFS) of a graph in $O(m+n\log^* n)$ time using $O(n)$ bits of space. While a normal DFS algorithm results in a DFS-tree (in case the graph is connected), our…
Let $\|n\|$ stand for the integer complexity of the number $n$, i.e. for the least number of $1$'s needed to write $n$ using arbitrary many additions, multiplications, and parentheses. The two-sided inequality $3\log_3 n\leq\|n\|\leq…
Two algorithms for computing $P(n,m)$, the number of integer partitions of $n$ into exactly $m$ parts, are described, and using a combination of these two algorithms, the resulting algorithm is $O(n^{3/2})$. The second algorithm uses a list…
We consider the problem of finding \textit{semi-matching} in bipartite graphs which is also extensively studied under various names in the scheduling literature. We give faster algorithms for both weighted and unweighted case. For the…
Jumbled indexing is the problem of indexing a text $T$ for queries that ask whether there is a substring of $T$ matching a pattern represented as a Parikh vector, i.e., the vector of frequency counts for each character. Jumbled indexing has…
Ohya and Volovich have been proposed a new quantum computation model with chaos amplification to solve the SAT problem, which went beyond usual quantum algorithm. In this paper we study the complexity of the SAT algorithm by counting the…
We present an iterative algorithm for solving a class of \\nonlinear Laplacian system of equations in $\tilde{O}(k^2m \log(kn/\epsilon))$ iterations, where $k$ is a measure of nonlinearity, $n$ is the number of variables, $m$ is the number…
We study a path-planning problem amid a set $\mathcal{O}$ of obstacles in $\mathbb{R}^2$, in which we wish to compute a short path between two points while also maintaining a high clearance from $\mathcal{O}$; the clearance of a point is…
We present an exact quantum algorithm for solving the Exact Satisfiability (XSAT) problem, which belongs to the important NP-complete complexity class. The algorithm is based on an intuitive approach that can be divided into two parts:…
We give a new proof of F\"urer's bound for the cost of multiplying n-bit integers in the bit complexity model. Unlike F\"urer, our method does not require constructing special coefficient rings with "fast" roots of unity. Moreover, we prove…
In this paper, we show that there is an O(log k log^2 n)-competitive randomized algorithm for the k-sever problem on any metric space with n points, which improved the previous best competitive ratio O(log^2 k log^3 n log log n) by Nikhil…
The $k$-mappability problem has two integers parameters $m$ and $k$. For every subword of size $m$ in a text $S$, we wish to report the number of indices in $S$ in which the word occurs with at most $k$ mismatches. The problem was lately…
