The celebrated Time Hierarchy Theorem for Turing machines states, informally, that more problems can be solved given more time. The extent to which a time hierarchy-type theorem holds in the distributed LOCAL model has been open for many…

The $k$-mismatch problem consists in computing the Hamming distance between a pattern $P$ of length $m$ and every length-$m$ substring of a text $T$ of length $n$, if this distance is no more than $k$. In many real-world applications, any…

Implicit computational complexity is a lively area of theoretical computer science, which aims to provide machine-independent characterizations of relevant complexity classes. % for uniformity with subsequent uses >> 1960s (but feel free to…

We investigate a famous decision problem in automata theory: separation. Given a class of language C, the separation problem for C takes as input two regular languages and asks whether there exists a third one which belongs to C, includes…

If $S$ is a transitive metric space, then $|C|\cdot|A| \le |S|$ for any distance-$d$ code $C$ and a set $A$, ``anticode'', of diameter less than $d$. For every Steiner S$(t,k,n)$ system $S$, we show the existence of a $q$-ary…

In this paper, using the compression method, we recover the lower bound for the Erd\H{o}s unit distance problem and provide an alternative proof to the distinct distance conjecture. In particular, in $\mathbb{R}^k$ for all $k\geq 2$, we…

Given a large network and a query node, finding its top-k similar nodes is a primitive operation in many graph-based applications. Recently enhancing search results with diversification have received much attention. In this paper, we…

We deal with monotone inclusion problems of the form $0\in Ax+Dx+N_C(x)$ in real Hilbert spaces, where $A$ is a maximally monotone operator, $D$ a cocoercive operator and $C$ the nonempty set of zeros of another cocoercive operator. We…

Let $\left\{a_1, \dots, a_n\right\} \subset \mathbb{N}$ be a set of positive integers, $a_n$ denoting the largest element, so that for any two of the $2^n$ subsets the sum of all elements is distinct. Erd\H{o}s asked whether this implies…

Recent work of Bravyi et al. and follow-up work by Bene Watts et al. demonstrates a quantum advantage for shallow circuits: constant-depth quantum circuits can perform a task which constant-depth classical (i.e., AC$^0$) circuits cannot.…

For any positive integers $n\ge d+1\ge 3$, what is the maximum size of a $(d+1)$-uniform set system in $[n]$ with VC-dimension at most $d$? In 1984, Frankl and Pach initiated the study of this fundamental problem and provided an upper bound…

We show that once $\theta>17/30$, every sufficiently long interval $[x,x+x^\theta]$ contains many $k$-term arithmetic progressions of primes, uniformly in the starting point $x$. More precisely, for each fixed $k\ge3$ and $\theta>17/30$,…
