The 2-LCPS problem, first introduced by Chowdhury et al. [Fundam. Inform., 129(4):329-340, 2014], asks one to compute (the length of) a longest palindromic common subsequence between two given strings $A$ and $B$. We show that the 2-LCPS…
We give optimal sorting algorithms in the evolving data framework, where an algorithm's input data is changing while the algorithm is executing. In this framework, instead of producing a final output, an algorithm attempts to maintain an…
Detecting and counting copies of permutation patterns are fundamental algorithmic problems, with applications in the analysis of rankings, nonparametric statistics, and property testing tasks such as independence and quasirandomness…
We continue the study of selection and sorting of $n$ numbers under the adversarial comparator model, where comparisons can be adversarially tampered with if the arguments are sufficiently close. We derive a randomized sorting algorithm…
Time series are ubiquitous in domains ranging from medicine to marketing and finance. Frequent Pattern Mining (FPM) from a time series has thus received much attention. Recently, it has been studied under the order-preserving (OP) matching…
A rollercoaster is a sequence of real numbers for which every maximal contiguous subsequence, that is increasing or decreasing, has length at least three. By translating this sequence to a set of points in the plane, a rollercoaster can be…
We consider the algorithm by Ferson et al. (Reliable computing 11(3), p. 207-233, 2005) designed for solving the NP-hard problem of computing the maximal sample variance over interval data, motivated by robust statistics (in fact, the…
Palindromes are important objects in strings which have been extensively studied from combinatorial, algorithmic, and bioinformatics points of views. It is known that the length of the longest palindromic substrings (LPSs) of a given string…
Let $s(n)$ be the number of different remainders $n \bmod k$, where $1 \leq k \leq \lfloor n/2 \rfloor$. This rather natural sequence is sequence A283190 in the OEIS and while some basic facts are known, it seems that surprisingly it has…
In this paper, we consider a generalized longest common subsequence problem, in which a constraining sequence of length $s$ must be included as a substring and the other constraining sequence of length $t$ must be excluded as a subsequence…
This paper presents an $O(\log\log \bar{d})$ round massively parallel algorithm for $1+\epsilon$ approximation of maximum weighted $b$-matchings, using near-linear memory per machine. Here $\bar{d}$ denotes the average degree in the graph…
We initiate a broad study of classical problems in the streaming model with insertions and deletions in the setting where we allow the approximation factor $\alpha$ to be much larger than $1$. Such algorithms can use significantly less…
We study the precedence-constrained resource scheduling problem [SICOMP'75]. There are $n$ jobs where each job takes a certain time to finish and has a resource requirement throughout the execution time. There are precedence among the jobs.…
We present an $O(1)$-round fully-scalable deterministic massively parallel algorithm for computing the min-plus matrix multiplication of unit-Monge matrices. We use this to derive a $O(\log n)$-round fully-scalable massively parallel…
A gapped repeat is a factor of the form $uvu$ where $u$ and $v$ are nonempty words. The period of the gapped repeat is defined as $|u|+|v|$. The gapped repeat is maximal if it cannot be extended to the left or to the right by at least one…
Given two sequences $A[1..n]$ and $B[1..m]$ over a totally ordered alphabet, the \emph{Longest Common Bitonic Subsequence} (LCBS) problem asks for a longest common subsequence that is strictly increasing up to a single peak element and…
Let $A$ be a sequence of $n \geq 0$ real numbers. A subsequence of $A$ is a sequence of contiguous elements of $A$. A \emph{maximum scoring subsequence} of $A$ is a subsequence with largest sum of its elements, which can be found in O(n)…
Given a sequence of independent random variables with a common continuous distribution, we consider the online decision problem where one seeks to minimize the expected value of the time that is needed to complete the selection of a…
This study investigates whether reoptimization can help in solving the closest substring problem. We are dealing with the following reoptimization scenario. Suppose, we have an optimal l-length closest substring of a given set of sequences…
New algorithm for finding longest increasing subsequence is discussed. This algorithm is based on the ideas of idempotent mathematics and uses Max-Plus idempotent semiring. Problem of finding longest increasing sub- sequence is reformulated…
