The sequential structure of language, and the order of words in a sentence specifically, plays a central role in human language processing. Consequently, in designing computational models of language, the de facto approach is to present…
The process of sorting the suffixes of a text plays a fundamental role in Text Algorithms. They are used for instance in the constructions of the Burrows-Wheeler transform and the suffix array, widely used in several fields of Computer…
We describe a matrix multiplication recognition algorithm for a subset of binary linear context-free rewriting systems (LCFRS) with running time $O(n^{\omega d})$ where $M(m) = O(m^{\omega})$ is the running time for $m \times m$ matrix…
A Lyndon word is a non-empty word strictly smaller in the lexicographic order than any of its suffixes, except itself and the empty word. In this paper, we show how Lyndon words can be used in the distributed control of a set of n weak…
In this work, we study the relative hardness of fundamental problems with state-of-the-art word RAM algorithms that take $O(n\sqrt{\log n})$ time for instances described in $\Theta(n)$ machine words ($\Theta(n\log n)$ bits). This complexity…
It is a fundamental property of non-letter Lyndon words that they can be expressed as a concatenation of two shorter Lyndon words. This leads to a naive lower bound log_{2}(n)} + 1 for the number of distinct Lyndon factors that a Lyndon…
We study the $\ell_0$-Low Rank Approximation Problem, where the goal is, given an $m \times n$ matrix $A$, to output a rank-$k$ matrix $A'$ for which $\|A'-A\|_0$ is minimized. Here, for a matrix $B$, $\|B\|_0$ denotes the number of its…
In this work we will present algorithms for decoding rank metric codes. First we will look at a new decoding algorithm for Gabidulin codes using the property of Dickson matrices corresponding to linearized polynomials. We will be using a…
In applications such as natural language processing or computer vision, one is given a large $n \times d$ matrix $A = (a_{i,j})$ and would like to compute a matrix decomposition, e.g., a low rank approximation, of a function $f(A) =…
Suffix arrays and LCP arrays are one of the most fundamental data structures widely used for various kinds of string processing. We consider two problems for a read-only string of length $N$ over an integer alphabet $[1, \dots, \sigma]$ for…
It is shown that every tree of size $n$ over a fixed set of $\sigma$ different ranked symbols can be decomposed (in linear time as well as in logspace) into $O\big(\frac{n}{\log_\sigma n}\big) = O\big(\frac{n \log \sigma}{\log n}\big)$ many…
We describe an algorithm computing an optimal prefix free code from $N$ unsorted positive integer weights in time linear in the number of machine words holding those weights. This algorithm takes advantage of common non-algebraic…
We present a construction of subspace codes along with an efficient algorithm for list decoding from both insertions and deletions, handling an information-theoretically maximum fraction of these with polynomially small rate. Our…
We give an $\mathcal{O}(n \log n)$-time, $\mathcal{O}(n)$-space algorithm for factoring a string into the minimum number of palindromic substrings. That is, given a string $S [1..n]$, in $\mathcal{O}(n \log n)$ time our algorithm returns…
We present a fast randomized algorithm that computes a low rank LU decomposition. Our algorithm uses random projections type techniques to efficiently compute a low rank approximation of large matrices. The randomized LU algorithm can be…
We study a fixed-window counting system in which integers are represented by words of constant length while the alphabet grows as needed. This viewpoint arises from De Bruijn sequences: for fixed order $n$, the reverse prefer-max sequence…
A shift rule for the prefer-max De Bruijn sequence is formulated, for all sequence orders, and over any finite alphabet. An efficient algorithm for this shift rule is presented, which has linear (in the sequence order) time and memory…

Recent large language models (LLMs) employ billions of parameters to enable broad problem-solving capabilities. Such language models also tend to be memory-bound because of the dominance of matrix-vector and matrix-matrix multiplications…
Zimin words are very special finite words which are closely related to the pattern-avoidability problem. This problem consists in testing if an instance of a given pattern with variables occurs in almost all words over any finite alphabet.…
