This paper introduces a new family of reconstruction codes which is motivated by applications in DNA data storage and sequencing. In such applications, DNA strands are sequenced by reading some subset of their substrings. While previous…
A triple array is a rectangular array containing letters, each letter occurring equally often with no repeats in rows or columns, such that the number of letters common to two rows, two columns, or a row and a column are (possibly…
In this work, we study the limits of compressed data structures, i.e., structures that support various queries on an input text $T\in\Sigma^n$ using space proportional to the size of $T$ in compressed form. Nearly all fundamental queries…
The introduction of covering-based rough sets has made a substantial contribution to the classical rough sets. However, many vital problems in rough sets, including attribution reduction, are NP-hard and therefore the algorithms for solving…
We propose a new family of combinatorial inference problems for graphical models. Unlike classical statistical inference where the main interest is point estimation or parameter testing, combinatorial inference aims at testing the global…
Sum-rank metric codes, as a generalization of Hamming codes and rank metric codes, have important applications in fields such as multi-shot linear network coding, space-time coding and distributed storage systems. The purpose of this study…
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…
Motivated by recent interest in permutation arrays, we introduce and investigate the more general concept of frequency permutation arrays (FPAs). An FPA of length n=m lambda and distance d is a set T of multipermutations on a multiset of m…
Firms earning prediction plays a vital role in investment decisions, dividends expectation, and share price. It often involves multiple tensor-compatible datasets with non-linear multi-way relationships, spatiotemporal structures, and…
Linear codes are widely employed in communication systems, consumer electronics, and storage devices. All linear codes over finite fields can be generated by a generator matrix. Due to this, the generator matrix approach is called a…
Repeat finding in strings has important applications in subfields such as computational biology. Surprisingly, all prior work on repeat finding did not consider the constraint on the locality of repeats. In this paper, we propose and study…
Classic similarity measures of strings are longest common subsequence and Levenshtein distance (i.e., the classic edit distance). A classic similarity measure of curves is dynamic time warping. These measures can be computed by simple…
Sets of sequences with good correlation properties are desired in many active sensing and communication systems, e.g., multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) radar systems and code-division multiple-access (CDMA) cellular systems. In this…
The dynamic set cover problem has been subject to extensive research since the pioneering works of [Bhattacharya et al, 2015] and [Gupta et al, 2017]. The input is a set system $(U, S)$ on a fixed collection $S$ of sets and a dynamic…
We construct 1-parameter families of non-periodic embedded minimal surfaces of infinite genus in $T \times \mathbb{R}$, where $T$ denotes a flat 2-tori. Each of our families converges to a foliation of $T \times \mathbb{R}$ by $T$. These…
Recently, Cygan, Kowalik, and Wykurz [IPL 2009] gave sub-exponential-time approximation algorithms for the Set-Cover problem with approximation ratios better than ln(n). In light of this result, it is natural to ask whether such…
Iterative Fast Fourier Transform methods are useful for calculating the fields in composite materials and their macroscopic response. By iterating back and forth until convergence, the differential constraints are satisfied in Fourier…
A supersaturated design is a design whose run size is not large enough for estimating all the main effects. The goodness of multi-level supersaturated designs can be judged by the generalized minimum aberration criterion proposed by Xu and…
In this paper we study properties and invariants of matrix codes endowed with the rank metric, and relate them to the covering radius. We introduce new tools for the analysis of rank-metric codes, such as puncturing and shortening…
We give new explicit constructions of several fundamental objects in linear-algebraic pseudorandomness and combinatorics, including lossless rank extractors, weak subspace designs, and strong $s$-blocking sets over finite fields. Our focus…
