Most of the attention in statistical compression is given to the space used by the compressed sequence, a problem completely solved with optimal prefix codes. However, in many applications, the storage space used to represent the prefix…
A binary code Enc$:\{0,1\}^k \to \{0,1\}^n$ is $(0.5-\epsilon,L)$-list decodable if for all $w \in \{0,1\}^n$, the set List$(w)$ of all messages $m \in \{0,1\}^k$ such that the relative Hamming distance between Enc$(m)$ and $w$ is at most…
We revisit the complexity of building, given a two-dimensional string of size $n$, an indexing structure that allows locating all $k$ occurrences of a two-dimensional pattern of size $m$. While a structure of size $\mathcal{O}(n)$ with…
We consider the problem of encoding a string of length $n$ from an integer alphabet of size $\sigma$ so that access and substring equality queries (that is, determining the equality of any two substrings) can be answered efficiently. Any…
We describe a data structure, called a priority range tree, which accommodates fast orthogonal range reporting queries on prioritized points. Let $S$ be a set of $n$ points in the plane, where each point $p$ in $S$ is assigned a weight…
We give new constructions of two classes of algebraic code families which are efficiently list decodable with small output list size from a fraction $1-R-\epsilon$ of adversarial errors where $R$ is the rate of the code, for any desired…
Let $\D = $$ \{d_1,d_2,...d_D\}$ be a given set of $D$ string documents of total length $n$, our task is to index $\D$, such that the $k$ most relevant documents for an online query pattern $P$ of length $p$ can be retrieved efficiently. We…
We observe that a standard transformation between \emph{ordinal} trees (arbitrary rooted trees with ordered children) and binary trees leads to interesting succinct binary tree representations. There are four symmetric versions of these…
Top-$k$ decoding is a widely used method for sampling from LLMs: at each token, only the largest $k$ next-token-probabilities are kept, and the next token is sampled after re-normalizing them to sum to unity. Top-$k$ and other sampling…
We prove new lower bounds for locally decodable codes and private information retrieval. We show that a 2-query LDC encoding n-bit strings over an l-bit alphabet, where the decoder only uses b bits of each queried position of the codeword,…
In the semialgebraic range searching problem, we are to preprocess $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ s.t. for any query range from a family of constant complexity semialgebraic sets, all the points intersecting the range can be reported or…
We investigate the ratio $\rho_{n,L}$ of prefix codes to all uniquely decodable codes over an $n$-letter alphabet and with length distribution $L$. For any integers $n\geq 2$ and $m\geq 1$, we construct a lower bound and an upper bound for…
The range-minimum query (RMQ) problem is a fundamental data structuring task with numerous applications. Despite the fact that succinct solutions with worst-case optimal $2n+o(n)$ bits of space and constant query time are known, it has been…
The string indexing problem is a fundamental computational problem with numerous applications, including information retrieval and bioinformatics. It aims to efficiently solve the pattern matching problem: given a text T of length n for…
This paper presents encoding and decoding algorithms for several families of optimal rank metric codes whose codes are in restricted forms of symmetric, alternating and Hermitian matrices. First, we show the evaluation encoding is the right…
Priority encoders are typically considered expensive hardware components in terms of complexity, especially at high bit precisions or input lengths (e.g., above 512 bits). However, if the complexity can be reduced, priority encoders can…
We present several novel encodings for cardinality constraints, which use fewer clauses than previous encodings and, more importantly, introduce new generally applicable techniques for constructing compact encodings. First, we present a CNF…
We study the problem of supporting queries on a string $S$ of length $n$ within a space bounded by the size $\gamma$ of a string attractor for $S$. Recent works showed that random access on $S$ can be supported in optimal…
We consider a range-search variant of the closest-pair problem. Let $\varGamma$ be a fixed shape in the plane. We are interested in storing a given set of $n$ points in the plane in some data structure such that for any specified translate…
We propose a full-rate iterated space-time code construction, to design 2n-dimensional codes from n-dimensional cyclic algebra based codes. We give a condition to determine whether the resulting codes satisfy the full-diversity property,…
