Given a string of length $n$ that is composed of $r$ runs of letters from the alphabet $\{0,1,\ldots,\sigma{-}1\}$ such that $2 \le \sigma \le r$, we describe a data structure that, provided $r \le n / \log^{\omega(1)} n$, stores the string…

We consider the communication complexity of the Hamming distance of two strings. Bille et al. [SPIRE 2018] considered the communication complexity of the longest common prefix (LCP) problem in the setting where the two parties have their…

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…

Shannon's entropy is a definitive lower bound for statistical compression. Unfortunately, no such clear measure exists for the compressibility of repetitive strings. Thus, ad hoc measures are employed to estimate the repetitiveness of…

We describe recent progress in developing practical ab initio methods for which the computer effort is proportional to the number of atoms: linear scaling or O(N) methods. It is shown that the locality property of the density matrix gives a…

Polynomial factorization over $ZZ$ is of great historical and practical importance. Currently, the standard technique is to factor the polynomial over finite fields first and then to lift to integers. Factorization over finite fields can be…

Assuming a conjectural upper bound for the least prime in an arithmetic progression, we show that n-bit integers may be multiplied in O(n log n 4^(log^* n)) bit operations.

Given two positions $i$ and $j$ in a string $T$ of length $N$, a longest common extension (LCE) query asks for the length of the longest common prefix between suffixes beginning at $i$ and $j$. A compressed LCE data structure is a data…

Motivated by earlier results on universal randomized guessing, we consider an individual-sequence approach to the guessing problem: in this setting, the goal is to guess a secret, individual (deterministic) vector $x^n=(x_1,\ldots,x_n)$, by…

A number of algorithms for computing the simulation preorder (and equivalence) on Kripke structures are available. Let Sigma denote the state space, -> the transition relation and Psim the partition of Sigma induced by simulation…

We introduce the first grammar-compressed representation of a sequence that supports searches in time that depends only logarithmically on the size of the grammar. Given a text $T[1..u]$ that is represented by a (context-free) grammar of…

We present the first worst-case linear time algorithm that directly computes the parameterized suffix and LCP arrays for constant sized alphabets. Previous algorithms either required quadratic time or the parameterized suffix tree to be…

The Erd\H{o}s-Ginzburg-Ziv theorem states that every sequence of 2n - 1 integers contains a subsequence of length n whose sum is divisible by n. Choi, Kang, and Lim gave a simple deterministic O(n log n) algorithm for finding such a…

We study the following substring suffix selection problem: given a substring of a string T of length n, compute its k-th lexicographically smallest suffix. This a natural generalization of the well-known question of computing the maximal…

The problem of finding factors of a text string which are identical or similar to a given pattern string is a central problem in computer science. A generalised version of this problem consists in implementing an index over the text to…

Relative Lempel-Ziv (RLZ) is a popular algorithm for compressing databases of genomes from individuals of the same species when fast random access is desired. With Kuruppu et al.'s (SPIRE 2010) original implementation, a reference genome is…

For almost 35 years, Sch{\"o}nhage-Strassen's algorithm has been the fastest algorithm known for multiplying integers, with a time complexity O(n $\times$ log n $\times$ log log n) for multiplying n-bit inputs. In 2007, F{\"u}rer proved…

We consider computing the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ and Dirichlet $L$-functions $L(s,\chi)$ to $p$-bit accuracy for large $p$. Using the approximate functional equation together with asymptotically fast computation of the incomplete…

In this paper we give a fast algorithm to generate all partitions of a positive integer $n$. Integer partitions may be encoded as either ascending or descending compositions for the purposes of systematic generation. It is known that the…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in the plane. We show how to find, for a given integer $k>0$, the smallest-area axis-parallel rectangle that covers $k$ points of $P$ in $O(nk^2 \log n+ n\log^2 n)$ time. We also consider the problem of, given…
