We introduce the Random Subsequence Model, a spin glass model on pairs of random strings $(X,Y) \in \{0,1\}^N \times \{0,1\}^M$ whose partition function counts subsequence embeddings of $Y$ into $X$. We study two variants: the null model,…
We consider signal reconstruction from the norms of subspace components generalizing standard phase retrieval problems. In the deterministic setting, a closed reconstruction formula is derived when the subspaces satisfy certain cubature…
We consider the reconstruction of a phylogeny from multiple genes under the multispecies coalescent. We establish a connection with the sparse signal detection problem, where one seeks to distinguish between a distribution and a mixture of…
In this letter, we consider a problem of reconstructing an unknown discrete signal taking values in a finite alphabet from incomplete linear measurements. The difficulty of this problem is that the computational complexity of the…
The reconstruction problem for permutations on $n$ elements from their erroneous patterns which are distorted by transpositions is presented in this paper. It is shown that for any $n \geq 3$ an unknown permutation is uniquely…
Vertex deletion problems for graphs are studied intensely in classical and parameterized complexity theory. They ask whether we can delete at most k vertices from an input graph such that the resulting graph has a certain property.…
We show that under minimal assumptions on a random vector $X\in\mathbb{R}^d$ and with high probability, given $m$ independent copies of $X$, the coordinate distribution of each vector $(\langle X_i,\theta \rangle)_{i=1}^m$ is dictated by…
Recent experiments have demonstrated the feasibility of storing digital information in macromolecules such as DNA and protein. However, the DNA storage channel is prone to errors such as deletions, insertions, and substitutions. During the…
This short note modifies a reconstruction method by the author (Comm. PDE, 45(9):1118-1133, 2020), for reconstructing piecewise constant conductivities in the Calder\'on problem (electrical impedance tomography). In the former paper, a…
Motivated by the study of deletion channels, this work presents improved bounds on the number of subsequences obtained from a binary sting X of length n under t deletions. It is known that the number of subsequences in this setting strongly…
Consider an information source generating a symbol at the root of a tree network whose links correspond to noisy communication channels, and broadcasting it through the network. We study the problem of reconstructing the transmitted symbol…
The deletion channel is the simplest point-to-point communication channel that models lack of synchronization. Input bits are deleted independently with probability d, and when they are not deleted, they are not affected by the channel.…
An important problem of reconstruction of diffusion network and transmission probabilities from the data has attracted a considerable attention in the past several years. A number of recent papers introduced efficient algorithms for the…
In this paper we provide a new locally consistent decomposition of strings. Each string $x$ is decomposed into blocks that can be described by grammars of size $\widetilde{O}(k)$ (using some amount of randomness). If we take two strings $x$…
We revisit the problem of broadcasting on $d$-ary trees: starting from a Bernoulli$(1/2)$ random variable $X_0$ at a root vertex, each vertex forwards its value across binary symmetric channels $\mathrm{BSC}_\delta$ to $d$ descendants. The…
In this paper, we study how often unique decoding from $t$ insertions or $t$ deletions occurs for error correcting codes. Insertions and deletions frequently occur in synchronization problems and DNA, a medium which is beginning to be used…
The DNA storage channel is considered, in which a codeword is comprised of $M$ unordered DNA molecules. At reading time, $N$ molecules are sampled with replacement, and then each molecule is sequenced. A coded-index concatenated-coding…
Suppose that a solution $\widetilde{\mathbf{x}}$ to an underdetermined linear system $\mathbf{b} = \mathbf{A} \mathbf{x}$ is given. $\widetilde{\mathbf{x}}$ is approximately sparse meaning that it has a few large components compared to…
Graphs are a powerful tool for analyzing large data sets, but many real-world phenomena involve interactions that go beyond the simple pairwise relationships captured by a graph. In this paper we introduce and study a simple combinatorial…
We estimate the minimum number of distance queries that is sufficient to reconstruct the binomial random graph $G(n,p)$ with constant diameter with high probability. We get a tight (up to a constant factor) answer for all $p>n^{-1+o(1)}$…
