Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are able to model the complex highdimensional distributions of real-world data, which suggests they could be effective for anomaly detection. However, few works have explored the use of GANs for the…

Let $G_n$ be the group of permutations on $\mathbb{Z}_n$ that is induced by a Dickson polynomial, where $n$ is a positive integer. In this work, by solving special types of systems of linear congruences, we obtain $G_n$. In addition, we…

In recent work, Rosenbaum and Wagner showed that isomorphism of explicitly listed $p$-groups of order $n$ could be tested in $n^{\frac{1}{2}\log_p n + O(p)}$ time, roughly a square root of the classical bound. The $O(p)$ term is entirely…

Complex real-world networks commonly reveal characteristic groups of nodes like communities and modules. These are of value in various applications, especially in the case of large social and information networks. However, while numerous…

This article presents a methodology that automatically derives a combinatorial specification for a permutation class C, given its basis B of excluded patterns and the set of simple permutations in C, when these sets are both finite. This is…

We improve the upper bounds (in terms of $n$) in [9] and [13] on the minimal number of elements required to generate a minimally transitive permutation group of degree $n$.

We describe an efficient algorithm to write any element of the alternating group A_n as a product of two n-cycles (in particular, we show that any element of A_n can be so written -- a result of E. A. Bertram). An easy corollary is that…

Operators acting on the discrete random chaos yield signed multiplicative systems, extending the notion of spin matrices and quaternions. We investigate signed groups through the associated sign matrices, focusing on generators and their…

Linear second order recursive sequences with arbitrary initial conditions are studied. For sequences with the same parameters a ring and a group is attached, and isomorphisms and homomorphisms are established for related parameters. In the…

This paper presents a novel algorithm solving the classic problem of generating a random sample of size s from population of size n with non-uniform probabilities. The sampling is done with replacement. The algorithm requires constant…

We show that normalizers and permutational isomorphisms of permutation groups given by generating sets can be computed in time simply exponential in the degree of the groups. The result is obtained by exploiting canonical forms for…

We consider bond percolation on random graphs with given degrees and bounded average degree. In particular, we consider the order of the largest component after the random deletion of the edges of such a random graph. We give a rough…

The importance of classifying connections in large graphs has been the motivation for a rich line of work on distributed subgraph finding that has led to exciting recent breakthroughs. A crucial aspect that remained open was whether…

We describe a straightforward method to generate a random prime q such that the multiplicative group GF(q)* also has a random large prime-order subgroup. The described algorithm also yields this order p as well as a p'th primitive root of…

We consider two related problems arising from a question of R. Graham on quasirandom phenomena in permutation patterns. A ``pattern'' in a permutation $\sigma$ is the order type of the restriction of $\sigma : [n] \to [n]$ to a subset $S…

In this paper we show that certain special cases of the hidden subgroup problem can be solved in polynomial time by a quantum algorithm. These special cases involve finding hidden normal subgroups of solvable groups and permutation groups,…

We introduce a very general model of an inhomogenous random graph with independence between the edges, which scales so that the number of edges is linear in the number of vertices. This scaling corresponds to the p=c/n scaling for G(n,p)…

N-grams have been a common tool for information retrieval and machine learning applications for decades. In nearly all previous works, only a few values of $n$ are tested, with $n > 6$ being exceedingly rare. Larger values of $n$ are not…

The prime graph (or Gruenberg-Kegel graph) of a finite group $G$ is a familiar graph. In this paper first, we investigate the structure of the finite groups with a non-complete prime graph. Then we prove that every alternating group…

The problem of finding a nontrivial factor of a polynomial f(x) over a finite field F_q has many known efficient, but randomized, algorithms. The deterministic complexity of this problem is a famous open question even assuming the…
