We present efficient circuits for the addition of binary numbers. We assume that we are given arrival times for all input bits and optimize the delay of the circuits, i.e.\ the time when the last output bit is computed. This contains the…
A linear Diophantine equation $ax + by = n$ is solvable if and only if gcd$(a; b)$ divides $n$. A graph $G$ of order $n$ is called Diophantine if there exists a labeling function $f$ of vertices such that gcd$(f(u); f(v))$ divides $n$ for…
We study the cycles generated by the chip firing game associated with n-cube orientations. We show the existence of the cycles generated by parallel evolutions of even lengths from 2 to $2^n$ on $H_n$ (n >= 1), and of odd lengths different…
Fragments of first-order logic over words can often be characterized in terms of finite monoids, and identities of omega-terms are an effective mechanism for specifying classes of monoids. Huschenbett and the first author have shown how to…
For fixed $k\ge 2$, determining the order of magnitude of the number of edges in an $n$-vertex bipartite graph not containing $C_{2k}$, the cycle of length $2k$, is a long-standing open problem. We consider an extension of this problem to…
Complex-linearization of a class of systems of second order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) has already been studied with complex symmetry analysis. Linearization of this class has been achieved earlier by complex method, however,…
We show that the bipartite perfect matching problem is in quasi-NC$^2$. That is, it has uniform circuits of quasi-polynomial size $n^{O(\log n)}$, and $O(log^2 n)$ depth. Previously, only an exponential upper bound was known on the size of…
In an $n \times n$ array filled with symbols, a transversal is a collection of entries with distinct rows, columns and symbols. In this note we show that if no symbol appears more than $\beta n$ times, the array contains a transversal of…
The representation of a dynamic ordered set of $n$ integer keys drawn from a universe of size $m$ is a fundamental data structuring problem. Many solutions to this problem achieve optimal time but take polynomial space, therefore preserving…
We present a method for ordering two-nucleon interactions based upon their scaling with the number of QCD colors, $N_c$, in the limit that $N_c$ becomes large. Available data in the two-nucleon sector shows general agreement with this…
The concern of this paper is to show that there always exist Krasner hyperfields of order n, where n is an integer greater than or equal to 2.
Not only are Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) black box models, but also we frequently conceptualize them as such. We lack good interpretations of the mechanisms linking inputs to outputs. Therefore, we find it difficult to analyze in…
A finite set $P$ of points in the plane is $n$-universal with respect to a class $\mathcal{C}$ of planar graphs if every $n$-vertex graph in $\mathcal{C}$ admits a crossing-free straight-line drawing with vertices at points of $P$. For the…
Preference orderings are orderings of a set of items according to the preferences (of judges). Such orderings arise in a variety of domains, including group decision making, consumer marketing, voting and machine learning. Measuring the…
Complex Lie point transformations are used to linearize a class of systems of second order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) which have Lie algebras of maximum dimension $d$, with $d\leq 4$. We identify such a class by employing…
Linear programming is a powerful method in combinatorial optimization with many applications in theory and practice. For solving a linear program quickly it is desirable to have a formulation of small size for the given problem. A useful…
We show that on graphs with n vertices, the 2-dimensional Weisfeiler-Leman algorithm requires at most O(n^2/log(n)) iterations to reach stabilization. This in particular shows that the previously best, trivial upper bound of O(n^2) is…
We consider the feasibility problem of integer linear programming (ILP). We show that solutions of any ILP instance can be naturally represented by an FO-definable class of graphs. For each solution there may be many graphs representing it.…
We study -- within the framework of propositional proof complexity -- the problem of certifying unsatisfiability of CNF formulas under the promise that any satisfiable formula has many satisfying assignments, where ``many'' stands for an…
Let $\mathscr{H}$ be a family of digraphs. A digraph $D$ is \emph{$\mathscr{H}$-free} if it contains no isomorphic copy of any member of $\mathscr{H}$. For $k\geq2$, we set $C_{\leq k}=\{C_{2}, C_{3},\ldots,C_{k}\}$, where $C_{\ell}$ is a…
