We report a cluster of results regarding the difficulty of finding approximate ground states to typical instances of the quantum satisfiability problem $k$-QSAT on large random graphs. As an approximation strategy, we optimize the solution…
We consider time-space tradeoffs for exactly computing frequency moments and order statistics over sliding windows. Given an input of length 2n-1, the task is to output the function of each window of length n, giving n outputs in total.…
Given $N$ instances $(X_1,t_1),\ldots,(X_N,t_N)$ of Subset Sum, the AND Subset Sum problem asks to determine whether all of these instances are yes-instances; that is, whether each set of integers $X_i$ has a subset that sums up to the…
Permutation patterns and pattern avoidance have been intensively studied in combinatorics and computer science, going back at least to the seminal work of Knuth on stack-sorting (1968). Perhaps the most natural algorithmic question in this…
We study the $k$-center problem in the context of individual fairness. Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in a metric space and $r_x$ be the distance between $x \in P$ and its $\lceil n/k \rceil$-th nearest neighbor. The problem asks to…
We first consider the problem of learning $k$-parities in the on-line mistake-bound model: given a hidden vector $x \in \{0,1\}^n$ with $|x|=k$ and a sequence of "questions" $a_1, a_2, ...\in \{0,1\}^n$, where the algorithm must reply to…
Integer programs with m constraints are solvable in pseudo-polynomial time in $\Delta$, the largest coefficient in a constraint, when m is a fixed constant. We give a new algorithm with a running time of $O(\sqrt{m}\Delta)^{2m} + O(nm)$,…
We consider a class of pattern matching problems where a normalising transformation is applied at every alignment. Normalised pattern matching plays a key role in fields as diverse as image processing and musical information processing…
We prove a general upper bound on the tradeoff between time and space that suffices for the reversible simulation of irreversible computation. Previously, only simulations using exponential time or quadratic space were known. The tradeoff…
Solving random subset sum instances plays an important role in constructing cryptographic systems. For the random subset sum problem, in 2013 Bernstein et al. proposed a quantum algorithm with heuristic time complexity…
In recent years, several powerful techniques have been developed to design {\em randomized} polynomial-space parameterized algorithms. In this paper, we introduce an enhancement of color coding to design deterministic polynomial-space…
We study a general family of facility location problems defined on planar graphs and on the 2-dimensional plane. In these problems, a subset of $k$ objects has to be selected, satisfying certain packing (disjointness) and covering…
Width parameterizations of SAT, such as tree-width and path-width, enable the study of computationally more tractable and practical SAT instances. We give two simple algorithms. One that runs simultaneously in time-space…

In the Subset Sum problem we are given a set of $n$ positive integers $X$ and a target $t$ and are asked whether some subset of $X$ sums to $t$. Natural parameters for this problem that have been studied in the literature are $n$ and $t$ as…
The $k$-subset sum problem over finite fields is a classical NP-complete problem.Motivated by coding theory applications, a more complex problem is the higher $m$-th moment $k$-subset sum problem over finite fields. We show that there is a…
Random $k$-SAT is the single most intensely studied example of a random constraint satisfaction problem. But despite substantial progress over the past decade, the threshold for the existence of satisfying assignments is not known precisely…
Local search is a widely-employed strategy for finding good solutions to Traveling Salesman Problem. We analyze the problem of determining whether the weight of a given cycle can be decreased by a popular $k$-opt move. Earlier work has…
