This paper establishes the exact comparison complexity of finding an element repeated $n$ times in a $2n$-element array containing $n+1$ distinct values, under the equality-comparison model with $O(1)$ extra space. We present a simple…
In the present article we propose a mixed-integer approximation of adjustable-robust optimization (ARO) problems, that have both, continuous and discrete variables on the lowest level. As these trilevel problems are notoriously hard to…
The interpolation step in the Guruswami-Sudan algorithm is a bivariate interpolation problem with multiplicities commonly solved in the literature using either structured linear algebra or basis reduction of polynomial lattices. This…
Projection methods are popular algorithms for iteratively solving feasibility problems in Euclidean or even Hilbert spaces. They employ (selections of) nearest point mappings to generate sequences that are designed to approximate a point in…
This paper is an attempt to remedy the problem of slow convergence for first-order numerical algorithms by proposing an adaptive conditioning heuristic. First, we propose a parallelizable numerical algorithm that is capable of solving…
Despite remarkable achievements in its practical tractability, the notorious class of NP-complete problems has been escaping all attempts to find a worst-case polynomial time-bound solution algorithms for any of them. The vast majority of…
Subset Sum is a classical optimization problem taught to undergraduates as an example of an NP-hard problem, which is amenable to dynamic programming, yielding polynomial running time if the input numbers are relatively small. Formally,…
Solving feasibility problems is a central task in mathematics and the applied sciences. One particularly successful method is the Douglas-Rachford algorithm. In this paper, we provide many new conditions sufficient for finite convergence.…
In this paper we study a class of split variational inclusion (SVI) and regularized split variational inclusion (RSVI) problems in real Hilbert spaces. We discuss various analytical properties of the net generated by the RSVI and establish…
Although the validation step can appear crucial in the case of clustering adopting fuzzy approaches, the problem of the partition validity obtained by those adopting the hard ones was not tackled. To cure this problem, we propose in this…
The generalized alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) of Xiao et al. [{\tt Math. Prog. Comput., 2018}] aims at the two-block linearly constrained composite convex programming problem, in which each block is in the form of…
Suppose we partition the integers into finitely many cells. Can we always find a solution of the equation $x^2+y^2=z^2$ with $x,y,z$ on the same cell? What about more general homogeneous quadratic equations in three variables? These are…
The Subset Sum problem asks whether a given set of $n$ positive integers contains a subset of elements that sum up to a given target $t$. It is an outstanding open question whether the $O^*(2^{n/2})$-time algorithm for Subset Sum by…
We introduce a new -as far as we know- problem, according to which we are asked to match sequences of two digits in matrices having entries among those two digits (but others too) and prove that this problem is NP-complete
In the literature, besides the assumption of strict complementarity, superlinear convergence of implementable polynomial-time interior point algorithms using known search directions, namely, the HKM direction, its dual or the NT direction,…
In some particular cases we give criteria for morphic sequences to be almost periodic (=uniformly recurrent). Namely, we deal with fixed points of non-erasing morphisms and with automatic sequences. In both cases a polynomial-time algorithm…
When eating spaghetti, one should have the sauce and noodles mixed instead of eating them separately. We argue that also in string solving, word equations and regular constraints are better mixed together than approached separately as in…

Approximations of optimization problems arise in computational procedures and sensitivity analysis. The resulting effect on solutions can be significant, with even small approximations of components of a problem translating into large…
This paper studies the robustness of observability of a linear time-invariant system under sensor failures from a computational perspective. To be precise, the problem of determining the minimum number of sensors whose removal can destroy…
