Let $W$ be a finite Weyl group and $\widetilde W$ the corresponding affine Weyl group. A random element of $\widetilde W$ can be obtained as a reduced random walk on the alcoves of $\widetilde W$. By a theorem of Lam (Ann. Prob. 2015), such…

In 1990, D.Snow proposed an effective algorithm for computing the orbits of finite Weyl groups. Snow's algorithm is designed for computation of weights, $W$-orbits and elements of the Weyl group. An extension of Snow's algorithm is…

Let $G$ be a connected semisimple real Lie group with finite center, and $\mu$ a probability measure on $G$ whose support generates a Zariski-dense subgroup of $G$. We consider the right $\mu$-random walk on $G$ and show that each random…

The smoothed analysis of algorithms is concerned with the expected running time of an algorithm under slight random perturbations of arbitrary inputs. Spielman and Teng proved that the shadow-vertex simplex method has polynomial smoothed…

We design a method to optimize the global mean first-passage time (GMFPT) of multiple random walkers searching in complex networks for a general target, without specifying the property of the target node. According to the Laplace…

We give a deterministic algorithm for computing a global minimum vertex cut in a vertex-weighted graph $n$ vertices and $m$ edges in $\widehat O(mn)$ time. This breaks the long-standing $\widehat \Omega(n^{4})$-time barrier in dense graphs,…

The purpose of this work is to develop a version of Forman's discrete Morse theory for simplicial complexes, based on internal strong collapses. Classical discrete Morse theory can be viewed as a generalization of Whitehead's collapses,…

Let $M$ be a random $m \times n$ matrix with binary entries and i.i.d. rows. The weight (i.e., number of ones) of a row has a specified probability distribution, with the row chosen uniformly at random given its weight. Let $N(n,m)$ denote…

We investigate the average-case complexity of decision problems for finitely generated groups, in particular the word and membership problems. Using our recent results on ``generic-case complexity'' we show that if a finitely generated…

Federated Learning (FL) refers to the paradigm where multiple worker nodes (WNs) build a joint model by using local data. Despite extensive research, for a generic non-convex FL problem, it is not clear, how to choose the WNs' and the…

The generalized Fitting height of a finite group $G$ is the least number $h=h^*(G)$ such that $F^*_h(G)=G$, where the $F^*_i(G)$ is the generalized Fitting series: $F^*_1(G)=F^*(G)$ and $F^*_{i+1}(G)$ is the inverse image of…

Consider the eigenvalues $\lambda_i(M_n)$ (in increasing order) of a random Hermitian matrix $M_n$ whose upper-triangular entries are independent with mean zero and variance one, and are exponentially decaying. By Wigner's semicircular law,…

In this paper we have considered a finite unitary matrix group with exact elements being unknown and only approximate elements available. Such a group becomes inconsistent with its own multiplication table. We found simple correction…

Minimum Weight Cycle (MWC) is the problem of finding a simple cycle of minimum weight in a graph $G=(V,E)$. This is a fundamental graph problem with classical sequential algorithms that run in $\tilde{O}(n^3)$ and $\tilde{O}(mn)$ time where…

Let $F$ be any finite-rank free group, and $R$ be any finite subset of $\{g, [g]: g \in F-\{1\}\}$, where $[g]:= \{fgf^{-1}:f\in F\}$. By an $R$-allocating $F$-factorization we mean a set $\mathcal{H}$ of nontrivial subgroups of $F$ such…
