We present a unified framework for accelerating edit-distance computation between two compressible strings using straight-line programs. For two strings of total length $N$ having straight-line program representations of total size $n$, we…
Approximate string matching is the problem of finding all factors of a text t of length n that are at a distance at most k from a pattern x of length m. Approximate circular string matching is the problem of finding all factors of t that…
Let $A(n,d)$ be the maximum number of $0,1$ words of length $n$, any two having Hamming distance at least $d$. We prove $A(20,8)=256$, which implies that the quadruply shortened Golay code is optimal. Moreover, we show $A(18,6)\leq 673$,…
Kolmogorov argued that the concept of information exists also in problems with no underlying stochastic model (as Shannon's information representation) for instance, the information contained in an algorithm or in the genome. He introduced…
Symmetry of information establishes a relation between the information that x has about y (denoted I(x : y)) and the information that y has about x (denoted I(y : x)). In classical information theory, the two are exactly equal, but in…
Given a finite metric space $(V,d)$, an approximate distance oracle is a data structure which, when queried on two points $u,v \in V$, returns an approximation to the the actual distance between $u$ and $v$ which is within some bounded…
Ahlswede and Katona (1977) posed the following isodiametric problem in Hamming spaces: For every $n$ and $1\le M\le2^{n}$, determine the minimum average Hamming distance of binary codes with length $n$ and size $M$. Fu, Wei, and Yeung…
We show that real-value approximations of Kolmogorov-Chaitin (K_m) using the algorithmic Coding theorem as calculated from the output frequency of a large set of small deterministic Turing machines with up to 5 states (and 2 symbols), is in…
The logical depth with significance $b$ of a finite binary string $x$ is the shortest running time of a binary program for $x$ that can be compressed by at most $b$ bits. There is another definition of logical depth. We give two theorems…
Depth of an object concerns a tradeoff between computation time and excess of program length over the shortest program length required to obtain the object. It gives an unconditional lower bound on the computation time from a given program…
In many applications, it is necessary to determine the string similarity. Edit distance[WF74] approach is a classic method to determine Field Similarity. A well known dynamic programming algorithm [GUS97] is used to calculate edit distance…
With the growing focus on semantic searches and interpretations, an increasing number of standardized vocabularies and ontologies are being designed and used to describe data. We investigate the querying of objects described by a…
Let \({\mathbb K}\) be any field, let \(X\subset {\mathbb P}^{k-1}\) be a set of \(n\) distinct \({\mathbb K}\)-rational points, and let \(a\geq 1\) be an integer. In this paper we find lower bounds for the minimum distance \(d(X)_a\) of…
We show that the mutual information, in the sense of Kolmogorov complexity, of any pair of strings $x$ and $y$ is equal, up to logarithmic precision, to the length of the longest shared secret key that two parties, one having $x$ and the…
We define the distance between two information structures as the largest possible difference in value across all zero-sum games. We provide a tractable characterization of distance and use it to discuss the relation between the value of…
Computing the minimum distance of a linear code is one of the fundamental problems in algorithmic coding theory. Vardy [14] showed that it is an \np-hard problem for general linear codes. In practice, one often uses codes with additional…
We refer to the distance between optimal solutions of integer programs and their linear relaxations as proximity. In 2018, Eisenbrand and Weismantel proved that proximity is independent of the dimension for programs in standard form. We…
The edit distance is a metric of dissimilarity between strings, widely applied in computational biology, speech recognition, and machine learning. Let $e_k(n)$ denote the average edit distance between random, independent strings of $n$…
For a finite binary string $x$ its logical depth $d$ for significance $b$ is the shortest running time of a program for $x$ of length $K(x)+b$. There is another definition of logical depth. We give a new proof that the two versions are…
Given an LZW/LZ78 compressed text, we want to find an approximate occurrence of a given pattern of length m. The goal is to achieve time complexity depending on the size n of the compressed representation of the text instead of its length.…
