Simon's congruence $\sim_k$ is defined as follows: two words are $\sim_k$-equivalent if they have the same set of subsequences of length at most $k$. We propose an algorithm which computes, given two words $s$ and $t$, the largest $k$ for…

We revisit the classic combinatorial pattern matching problem of finding a longest common subsequence (LCS). For strings $x$ and $y$ of length $n$, a textbook algorithm solves LCS in time $O(n^2)$, but although much effort has been spent,…
In this paper we consider $m$ ($m \geq 1$)conjunctions of Max-atoms that is atoms of the form $\max(z,y) + r \geq x$, where the offset $r$ is a real constant and $x,y,z$ are variables. We show that the Max-atom problem (MAP) belongs to…
Solving linear systems of equations is a common problem that arises both on its own and as a subroutine in more complex problems: given a matrix A and a vector b, find a vector x such that Ax=b. We consider the case where one doesn't need…
In computational complexity theory, a decision problem is NP-complete when it is both in NP and NP-hard. Although a solution to a NP-complete can be verified quickly, there is no known algorithm to solve it in polynomial time. There exists…
A pair of unit clauses is called conflicting if it is of the form $(x)$, $(\bar{x})$. A CNF formula is unit-conflict free (UCF) if it contains no pair of conflicting unit clauses. Lieberherr and Specker (J. ACM 28, 1981) showed that for…
We consider the Modular Subset Sum problem: given a multiset $X$ of integers from $\mathbb{Z}_m$ and a target integer $t$, decide if there exists a subset of $X$ with a sum equal to $t \pmod{m}$. Recent independent works by Cardinal and…
In this note, we give an algorithm that computes the linearwidth of input $n$-vertex graphs in time $O^*(2^n)$, which improves a trivial $O^*(2^m)$-time algorithm, where $n$ and $m$ the number of vertices and edges, respectively.
A method is presented for constructing a Tunstall code that is linear time in the number of output items. This is an improvement on the state of the art for non-Bernoulli sources, including Markov sources, which require a (suboptimal)…
Causal effect estimation from observational data is a fundamental task in empirical sciences. It becomes particularly challenging when unobserved confounders are involved in a system. This paper focuses on front-door adjustment -- a classic…
We give new algorithms based on Markov chains to sample and approximately count satisfying assignments to $k$-uniform CNF formulas where each variable appears at most $d$ times. For any $k$ and $d$ satisfying $kd<n^{o(1)}$ and $k\ge 20\log…
