We introduce the algorithm ExpoSort, a groundbreaking method that sorts an array of $n$ numbers in a spectacularly inefficient $\Theta(2^n)$ time. ExpoSort proudly claims the title of the first reluctant algorithm to decisively surpass the…
We study operator complexity on various time scales with emphasis on those much larger than the scrambling period. We use, for systems with a large but finite number of degrees of freedom, the notion of K-complexity employed in…
We are interested in computing $k$ most preferred models of a given d-DNNF circuit $C$, where the preference relation is based on an algebraic structure called a monotone, totally ordered, semigroup $(K, \otimes, <)$. In our setting, every…
The Subtree Isomorphism problem asks whether a given tree is contained in another given tree. The problem is of fundamental importance and has been studied since the 1960s. For some variants, e.g., ordered trees, near-linear time algorithms…
We present the path-sum formulation for $\mathsf{OE}[\mathsf{H}](t',t)=\mathcal{T}\,\text{exp}\big(\int_{t}^{t'}\!\mathsf{H}(\tau)\,d\tau\big)$, the time-ordered exponential of a time-dependent matrix $\mathsf{H}(t)$. The path-sum…
In the last 30 years it was found that many combinatorial systems undergo phase transitions. One of the most important examples of these can be found among the random k-satisfiability problems (often referred to as k-SAT), asking whether…
By creating some new concepts and methods: checking tree, long unit path, direct contradiction unit pair, indirect contradiction unit pair, additional contradiction unit pair, 2-unit layer and 3-unit layer, redundant units, and destroying…
Boolean satisfiability ({\SAT}) has played a key role in diverse areas spanning testing, formal verification, planning, optimization, inferencing and the like. Apart from the classical problem of checking boolean satisfiability, the…
We investigate geometrical properties of the random K-satisfiability problem using the notion of x-satisfiability: a formula is x-satisfiable if there exist two SAT assignments differing in Nx variables. We show the existence of a sharp…
We propose a novel parallel algorithm for decomposing hard CircuitSAT instances. The technique employs specialized constraints to partition an original SAT instance into a family of weakened formulas. Our approach is implemented as a…
We consider Achlioptas processes for k-SAT formulas. We create a semi-random formula with n variables and m clauses, where each clause is a choice, made on-line, between two or more uniformly random clauses. Our goal is to delay the…
In the foreseeable future, toolchains for quantum computing should offer automatic means of transforming a high level problem formulation down to a hardware executable form. Thereby, it is crucial to find (multiple) transformation paths…
The time integration of semilinear parabolic problems by exponential methods of different kinds is considered. A new algorithm for the implementation of these methods is proposed. The algorithm evaluates the operators required by the…
We present an algorithm that takes as input an $n$-vertex planar graph $G$ and a $k$-vertex pattern graph $P$, and computes the number of (induced) copies of $P$ in $G$ in $2^{O(k/\log k)}n^{O(1)}$ time. If $P$ is a matching, independent…
A new algorithm named EXPected Similarity Estimation (EXPoSE) was recently proposed to solve the problem of large-scale anomaly detection. It is a non-parametric and distribution free kernel method based on the Hilbert space embedding of…
M.Alekhnovich et al. recently have proposed a model of algorithms, called BT model, which covers Greedy, Backtrack and Simple Dynamic Programming methods and can be further divided into fixed, adaptive and fully adaptive three kinds, and…
Fixed-parameter algorithms, approximation algorithms and moderately exponential algorithms are three major approaches to algorithms design. While each of them being very active in its own, there is an increasing attention to the connection…
We give a deterministic, polynomial-time algorithm for approximately counting the number of {0,1}-solutions to any instance of the knapsack problem. On an instance of length n with total weight W and accuracy parameter eps, our algorithm…
Reid conjectured that any finite set of non-negative integers is the score set of some tournament and Yao gave a non-constructive proof of Reid's conjecture using arithmetic arguments. No constructive proof has been found since. In this…
We investigate parameterizing hard combinatorial problems by the size of the solution set compared to all solution candidates. Our main result is a uniform sampling algorithm for satisfying assignments of 2-CNF formulas that runs in…
