It is shown that for cuckoo hashing with a stash as proposed by Kirsch, Mitzenmacher, and Wieder (2008) families of very simple hash functions can be used, maintaining the favorable performance guarantees: with stash size $s$ the…
We introduce squared families, which are families of probability densities obtained by squaring a linear transformation of a statistic. Squared families are singular, however their singularity can easily be handled so that they form regular…
We study families of subsets of $\omega$ which are independent with respect to the asymptotic density $\mathsf{d}$. We show, for instance, that there exists a maximal $\mathsf{d}$-independent family $\mathcal{A}$ such that…
Recently, Musco and Woodruff (FOCS, 2017) showed that given an $n \times n$ positive semidefinite (PSD) matrix $A$, it is possible to compute a $(1+\epsilon)$-approximate relative-error low-rank approximation to $A$ by querying…
In this work, we introduce a natural notion concerning finite vector spaces. A family of $k$-dimensional subspaces of $\mathbb{F}_q^n$, which forms a partial spread, is called almost affinely disjoint if any $(k+1)$-dimensional subspace…
Prefix-free parsing (PFP) was introduced by Boucher et al. (2019) as a preprocessing step to ease the computation of Burrows-Wheeler Transforms (BWTs) of genomic databases. Given a string $S$, it produces a dictionary $D$ and a parse $P$ of…
A new family of binary linear completely transitive (and, therefore, completely regular) codes is constructed. The covering radius of these codes is growing with the length of the code. In particular, for any integer r > 1, there exist two…
The flux reconstruction (FR) approach offers a flexible framework for describing a range of high-order numerical schemes; including nodal discontinuous Galerkin and spectral difference schemes. This is accomplished through the use of…
Let ${\cal F}$ be a family of graphs. In the ${\cal F}$-Completion problem, we are given a graph $G$ and an integer $k$ as input, and asked whether at most $k$ edges can be added to $G$ so that the resulting graph does not contain a graph…
Fractional repetition (FR) codes is a family of codes for distributed storage systems (DSS) that allow uncoded exact repairs with minimum repair bandwidth. In this work, we consider a bound on the maximum amount of data that can be stored…
In this paper, we present a new data structure called the packed compact trie (packed c-trie) which stores a set $S$ of $k$ strings of total length $n$ in $n \log\sigma + O(k \log n)$ bits of space and supports fast pattern matching queries…
We consider a relaxation of the concept of well-covered graphs, which are graphs with all maximal independent sets of the same size. The extent to which a graph fails to be well-covered can be measured by its independence gap, defined as…
Covering and partitioning the edges of a graph into cliques are classical problems at the intersection of combinatorial optimization and graph theory, having been studied through a range of algorithmic and complexity-theoretic lenses.…
Quasi-cyclic codes have been recently employed in the constructions of quantum error-correcting codes. In this paper, we propose a construction of infinite families of quasi-cyclic codes over $\F_q$ which are self-orthogonal with respect to…
We (nearly) settle the time complexity for computing vertex fault-tolerant (VFT) spanners with optimal sparsity (up to polylogarithmic factors). VFT spanners are sparse subgraphs that preserve distance information, up to a small…
In this paper we present a simple linear-time algorithm constructing a context-free grammar of size O(g log(N/g)) for the input string, where N is the size of the input string and g the size of the optimal grammar generating this string.…
We study progression-free sets in the abelian groups $G=(\mathbb{Z}_m^n,+)$. Let $r_k(\mathbb{Z}_m^n)$ denote the maximal size of a set $S \subset \mathbb{Z}_m^n$ that does not contain a proper arithmetic progression of length $k$. We give…
This work is concerned with the prime factor decomposition (PFD) of strong product graphs. A new quasi-linear time algorithm for the PFD with respect to the strong product for arbitrary, finite, connected, undirected graphs is derived.…
A coreset is a point set containing information about geometric properties of a larger point set. A series of previous works show that in many machine learning problems, especially in clustering problems, coreset could be very useful to…
The fully connected conditional random field (CRF) with Gaussian pairwise potentials has proven popular and effective for multi-class semantic segmentation. While the energy of a dense CRF can be minimized accurately using a linear…
