We introduce and study modular truncations of the Ackermann function viewed as self-maps on finite rings. These maps form a hierarchy of rapidly increasing compositional complexity indexed by recursion depth. We investigate their structural…
We use the "tridiagonal representation approach" to solve the time-independent Schr\"odinger equation for bound states in a basis set of finite size. We obtain two classes of solutions written as finite series of square integrable functions…

The Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis (SETH) is a standard assumption in (fine-grained) parameterized complexity and many tight lower bounds are based on it. We consider a number of reasonable weakenings of the SETH, with sources from (i)…
Algorithmic extension problems of partial graph representations such as planar graph drawings or geometric intersection representations are of growing interest in topological graph theory and graph drawing. In such an extension problem, we…

Finding all maximal $k$-plexes on networks is a fundamental research problem in graph analysis due to many important applications, such as community detection, biological graph analysis, and so on. A $k$-plex is a subgraph in which every…
Given a set S of n keys, a k-perfect hash function (kPHF) is a data structure that maps the keys to the first m integers, where each output integer can be hit by at most k input keys. When m=n/k, the resulting function is called a minimal…

A linear operator in a Hilbert space defined through the form of Riesz representation naturally introduces a reproducing kernel Hilbert space structure over the range space. Such formulation, called H-HK formulation in this paper, possesses…
For a graph $G$ and partition $\mathcal{U}$ of its vertex set, an independent transversal of $(G, \mathcal{U})$ is an independent set of $G$ that contains one vertex from each block of $\mathcal{U}$. Buys, Kang, and Ozeki studied when a…
An algorithm is presented that efficiently solves the selection problem: finding the k-th smallest member of a set. Relevant to a divide-and-conquer strategy, the algorithm also partitions a set into small and large valued subsets. Applied…
We give the first analysis of the computational complexity of {\it coalition structure generation over graphs}. Given an undirected graph $G=(N,E)$ and a valuation function $v:2^N\rightarrow\RR$ over the subsets of nodes, the problem is to…
This note provides a very short proof of a spectral gap independent property of the simultaneous iterations algorithm for finding the top singular space of a matrix. See Rokhlin-Szlam-Tygert-2009, Halko-Martinsson-Tropp-2011 and…
After introducing the formalism of the general space and time fractional Schr\"odinger equation, we concentrate on the time fractional Schr\"odinger equation and present new results via the elegant language of Fox's H-functions. We show…
The Birkhoff graph $\mathcal{B}_n$ is the Cayley graph of the symmetric group $S_n$, where two permutations are adjacent if they differ by a single cycle. Our main result is a tighter upper bound on the independence number…
In this paper, we consider the problem of scheduling an application on a parallel computational platform. The application is a particular task graph, either a linear chain of tasks, or a set of independent tasks. The platform is made of…
Let $\Gamma$ be a function that maps two arbitrary graphs $G$ and $H$ to a non-negative real number such that $$\alpha(G^{\boxtimes n})\leq \alpha(H^{\boxtimes n})\Gamma(G,H)^n$$ where $n$ is any natural number and $G^{\boxtimes n}$ is the…
Two kinds of approximation algorithms exist for the k-BALANCED PARTITIONING problem: those that are fast but compute unsatisfying approximation ratios, and those that guarantee high quality ratios but are slow. In this paper we prove that…
Concurrent hash tables are one of the most important concurrent data structures with numerous applications. Since hash table accesses can dominate the execution time of the overall application, we need implementations that achieve good…
