We initiate a study of solving a row/column diagonally dominant (RDD/CDD) linear system $Mx=b$ in sublinear time, with the goal of estimating $t^{\top}x^*$ for a given vector $t\in R^n$ and a specific solution $x^*$. This setting naturally…

We study the problem of planning paths for $p$ distinguishable pebbles (robots) residing on the vertices of an $n$-vertex connected graph with $p \le n$. A pebble may move from a vertex to an adjacent one in a time step provided that it…

One of the unique features of discrete-time quantum walks is called trapping, meaning the inability of the quantum walker to completely escape from its initial position, albeit the system is translationally invariant. The effect is…
