We tackle the problems of computing the rightmost variant of the Lempel-Ziv factorizations in the online/sliding model. Previous best bounds for this problem are O(n log n) time with O(n) space, due to Amir et al. [IPL 2002] for the online…

The Lempel-Ziv 77 (LZ77) factorization is a fundamental compression scheme widely used in text processing and data compression. In this work, we investigate the time complexity of maintaining the LZ77 factorization of a dynamic string. By…

We investigate the classic Knapsack problem and propose a fully polynomial-time approximation scheme (FPTAS) that runs in $\widetilde{O}(n + (1/\varepsilon)^2)$ time. This improves upon the $\widetilde{O}(n + (1/\varepsilon)^{11/5})$-time…

We present a new on-line algorithm for computing the Lempel-Ziv factorization of a string that runs in $O(N\log N)$ time and uses only $O(N\log\sigma)$ bits of working space, where $N$ is the length of the string and $\sigma$ is the size of…
A novel probabilistic numerical method for quantifying the uncertainty induced by the time integration of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) is introduced. Departing from the classical strategy to randomize ODE solvers by adding a…

We use lookup tables to design faster algorithms for important algebraic problems over finite fields. These faster algorithms, which only use arithmetic operations and lookup table operations, may help to explain the difficulty of…
We show that there is a polynomial space algorithm that counts the number of perfect matchings in an $n$-vertex graph in $O^*(2^{n/2})\subset O(1.415^n)$ time. ($O^*(f(n))$ suppresses functions polylogarithmic in $f(n)$).The previously…
Given a set $W = \{w_1,\ldots, w_n\}$ of non-negative integer weights and an integer $C$, the #Knapsack problem asks to count the number of distinct subsets of $W$ whose total weight is at most $C$. In the more general integer version of…
The currently fastest algorithm for regular expression pattern matching and membership improves the classical O(nm) time algorithm by a factor of about log^{3/2}n. Instead of focussing on general patterns we analyse homogeneous patterns of…
Given n elements with nonnegative integer weights w1,..., wn and an integer capacity C, we consider the counting version of the classic knapsack problem: find the number of distinct subsets whose weights add up to at most the given…
We propose a method to exponentially speed up computation of various fingerprints, such as the ones used to compute similarity and rarity in massive data sets. Rather then maintaining the full stream of $b$ items of a universe $[u]$, such…
