In this paper we study complexity of an extension of ordered binary decision diagrams (OBDDs) called $c$-OBDDs on CNFs of bounded (primal graph) treewidth. In particular, we show that for each $k$ there is a class of CNFs of treewidth $k…
In this paper, we study quantum algorithms for computing the exact value of the treewidth of a graph. Our algorithms are based on the classical algorithm by Fomin and Villanger (Combinatorica 32, 2012) that uses $O(2.616^n)$ time and…
Tries are general purpose data structures for information retrieval. The most significant parameter of a trie is its height $H$ which equals the length of the longest common prefix of any two string in the set $A$ over which the trie is…
Fourier transform is an essential ingredient in Shor's factoring algorithm. In the standard quantum circuit model with the gate set $\{\U(2), \textrm{CNOT}\}$, the discrete Fourier transforms $F_N=(\omega^{ij})_{N\times N},i,j=0,1,..., N-1,…

Recently, a new polynomial basis over binary extension fields was proposed such that the fast Fourier transform (FFT) over such fields can be computed in the complexity of order $\mathcal{O}(n\lg(n))$, where $n$ is the number of points…
Recent work has pinned down the existentially optimal size bounds for vertex fault-tolerant spanners: for any positive integer $k$, every $n$-node graph has a $(2k-1)$-spanner on $O(f^{1-1/k} n^{1+1/k})$ edges resilient to $f$ vertex…
Algorithms that rely on a pseudorandom number generator often lose their performance guarantees when adversaries can predict the behavior of the generator. To protect non-cryptographic applications against such attacks, we propose 'strong'…

We give an algorithm that takes as input an $n$-vertex graph $G$ and an integer $k$, runs in time $2^{O(k^2)} n^{O(1)}$, and outputs a tree decomposition of $G$ of width at most $k$, if such a decomposition exists. This resolves the…
CPUs and operating systems are moving from 32 to 64 bits, and hence it is important to have good pseudorandom number generators designed to fully exploit these word lengths. However, existing 64-bit very long period generators based on…
We show that for a number of parameterized problems for which only $2^{O(k)} n^{O(1)}$ time algorithms are known on general graphs, subexponential parameterized algorithms with running time $2^{O(k^{1-\frac{1}{1+\delta}} \log^2 k)}…
We give improved lower bounds for binary $3$-query locally correctable codes (3-LCCs) $C \colon \{0,1\}^k \rightarrow \{0,1\}^n$. Specifically, we prove: (1) If $C$ is a linear design 3-LCC, then $n \geq 2^{(1 - o(1))\sqrt{k} }$. A design…
The problem of computing the vertex expansion of a graph is an NP-hard problem. The current best worst-case approximation guarantees for computing the vertex expansion of a graph are a $O(\sqrt{\log n})$-approximation algorithm due to…

The nonlinear Fourier transform has the potential to overcome limits on performance and achievable data rates which arise in modern optical fiber communication systems when nonlinear interference is treated as noise. The periodic nonlinear…
