We present a new combinatorial algorithm for triangle finding and Boolean matrix multiplication that runs in $\hat{O}(n^3/\log^4 n)$ time, where the $\hat{O}$ notation suppresses poly(loglog) factors. This improves the previous best…
We are concerned with the fastest possible direct numerical solution algorithm for a thin-banded or tridiagonal linear system of dimension $N$ on a distributed computing network of $N$ nodes that is connected in a binary communication tree.…
An average-case variant of the $k$-SUM conjecture asserts that finding $k$ numbers that sum to 0 in a list of $r$ random numbers, each of the order $r^k$, cannot be done in much less than $r^{\lceil k/2 \rceil}$ time. On the other hand, in…
Our work explores the hardness of $3$SUM instances without certain additive structures, and its applications. As our main technical result, we show that solving $3$SUM on a size-$n$ integer set that avoids solutions to $a+b=c+d$ for $\{a,…
Many problems that can be solved in quadratic time have bit-parallel speed-ups with factor $w$, where $w$ is the computer word size. For example, edit distance of two strings of length $n$ can be solved in $O(n^2/w)$ time. In a reasonable…
We consider two kinds of problems: the computation of polynomial and rational solutions of linear recurrences with coefficients that are polynomials with integer coefficients; indefinite and definite summation of sequences that are…
We assume the permutation $\pi$ is given by an $n$-element array in which the $i$-th element denotes the value $\pi(i)$. Constructing its inverse in-place (i.e. using $O(\log{n})$ bits of additional memory) can be achieved in linear time…
We prove 3SUM-hardness (no strongly subquadratic-time algorithm, assuming the 3SUM conjecture) of several problems related to finding Abelian square and additive square factors in a string. In particular, we conclude conditional optimality…
The observed frequency of the longest proper prefix, the longest proper suffix, and the longest infix of a word $w$ in a given sequence $x$ can be used for classifying $w$ as avoided or overabundant. The definitions used for the expectation…
The principal minors of a tridiagonal matrix satisfy two-term and three-term recurrences [1, 2]. Based on these facts, the current article presents a new efficient and reliable hybrid numerical algorithm for evaluating general n-th order…
We provide new high-accuracy randomized algorithms for solving linear systems and regression problems that are well-conditioned except for $k$ large singular values. For solving such $d \times d$ positive definite system our algorithms…
It has recently been shown that starting with a classical query algorithm (decision tree) and a guessing algorithm that tries to predict the query answers, we can design a quantum algorithm with query complexity $O(\sqrt{GT})$ where $T$ is…
The fastest known algorithm for factoring a degree $n$ univariate polynomial over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ runs in time $O(n^{3/2 + o(1)}\text{polylog } q)$, and there is a reason to believe that the $3/2$ exponent represents a…
We study tensor networks as a model of arithmetic computation for evaluating multilinear maps. These capture any algorithm based on low border rank tensor decompositions, such as $O(n^{\omega+\epsilon})$ time matrix multiplication, and in…
Noisy $k$-XOR is a basic average-case inference problem in which one observes random noisy $k$-ary parity constraints and seeks to recover, or more weakly, detect, a hidden Boolean assignment. A central question is to characterize the…
3SUM-Indexing is a preprocessing variant of the 3SUM problem that has recently received a lot of attention. The best known time-space tradeoff for the problem is $T S^3 = n^{6}$ (up to logarithmic factors), where $n$ is the number of input…
We investigate pseudopolynomial-time algorithms for Bounded Knapsack and Bounded Subset Sum. Recent years have seen a growing interest in settling their fine-grained complexity with respect to various parameters. For Bounded Knapsack, the…
We show that the three-dimensional layers-of-maxima problem can be solved in $o(n\log n)$ time in the word RAM model. Our algorithm runs in $O(n(\log \log n)^3)$ deterministic time or $O(n(\log\log n)^2)$ expected time and uses O(n) space.…
As one of the three main pillars of fine-grained complexity theory, the 3SUM problem explains the hardness of many diverse polynomial-time problems via fine-grained reductions. Many of these reductions are either directly based on or…
In the Bin Packing problem one is given $n$ items with weights $w_1,\ldots,w_n$ and $m$ bins with capacities $c_1,\ldots,c_m$. The goal is to find a partition of the items into sets $S_1,\ldots,S_m$ such that $w(S_j) \leq c_j$ for every bin…
