Polar codes have gained significant amount of attention during the past few years and have been selected as a coding scheme for the next generation of mobile broadband standard. Among decoding schemes, successive-cancellation list (SCL)…

For positive integers $n$ and $k$ such that $k$ is at most $n$, we find an explicit one-to-one correspondence between the following two sets: the set of words consisting of $k$ $R$s, $k$ $U$s, and $n - k$ $D$s, where the first letter of the…

In 1948, Erd\"{o}s and Straus formulated a conjecture : for any positive integer $n>2$, there exist positive integers $n_1,n_2$ and $n_3$ such that…

This paper studies the problem of finding an $(1+\epsilon)$-approximate solution to positive semidefinite programs. These are semidefinite programs in which all matrices in the constraints and objective are positive semidefinite and all…

Fast SC decoding overcomes the latency caused by the serial nature of the SC decoding by identifying new nodes in the upper levels of the SC decoding tree and implementing their fast parallel decoders. In this work, we first present a novel…

Given a linear equation of the form $a_1x_1 + a_2x_2 + a_3x_3 = 0$ with integer coefficients $a_i$, we are interested in maximising the number of solutions to this equation in a set $S \subseteq \mathbb{Z}$, for sets $S$ of a given size. We…

Correlation Clustering is a fundamental and widely-studied problem in unsupervised learning and data mining. The input is a graph and the goal is to construct a clustering minimizing the number of inter-cluster edges plus the number of…

In this paper, we study parallel algorithms for the correlation clustering problem, where every pair of two different entities is labeled with similar or dissimilar. The goal is to partition the entities into clusters to minimize the number…

This paper investigates a variant of the famous "happy numbers" sequence, given by A351327 on the oeis. First of all we'll define this integer sequence, and then we'll show some important results about it; in particular we conjectured that…

We extend the well known theory of $s$-numbers of linear operators to homogeneous polynomials defined between Banach spaces. Approximation, Kolmogorov and Gelfand numbers of polynomials are introduced and some well-known results of the…

In this paper we consider the seating couple problem with an even number of seats, which, using graph theory terminology, can be stated as follows. Given a positive even integer $v=2n$ and a list $L$ containing $n$ positive integers not…

Given a pair of strings, the problems of computing their Longest Common Subsequence and Edit Distance have been extensively studied for decades. For exact algorithms, LCS and Edit Distance (with character insertions and deletions) are…

An efficient procedure for the computation of $Li_{s}(z)$ where $s<0$ is here presented. We started with Polylogarithm $Li_{s}(z)$ where $s<0$. The summation of $n^{s}z^{n}$ is evaluated using a new method. An assumption is made that the…

Let $\{x_1, x_2, ..., x_n\}$ be a vector of real numbers. An integer relation algorithm is a computational scheme to find the $n$ integers $a_k$, if they exist, such that $a_1 x_1 + a_2 x_2 + ... + a_n x_n= 0$. In the past few years,…

We consider sequences of the type $A_n=6A_{n-1}-A_{n-2}, A_0=r, A_1=s$ ($r$ and $s$ integers) and show that all sequences that solve particular cases of the Pell generalized equation are expressible as a constant times one of four…
