We consider the classical problem of sorting an input array containing $n$ elements, where each element is described with a $k$-bit comparison-key and a $w$-bit payload. A long-standing open problem is whether there exist $(k + w) \cdot o(n…

We build boolean circuits of size $O(nm^2)$ and depth $O(\log(n) + m \log(m))$ for sorting $n$ integers each of $m$-bits. We build also circuits that sort $n$ integers each of $m$-bits according to their first $k$ bits that are of size…

This paper ties the line of work on algorithms that find an O(sqrt(log(n)))-approximation to the sparsest cut together with the line of work on algorithms that run in sub-quadratic time by using only single-commodity flows. We present an…

Given an array A[1: n] of n elements drawn from an ordered set, the sorted range selection problem is to build a data structure that can be used to answer the following type of queries efficiently: Given a pair of indices i, j $ (1\le i\le…

In the online sorting problem, a sequence of $n$ numbers in $[0, 1]$ (including $\{0,1\}$) have to be inserted in an array of size $m \ge n$ so as to minimize the sum of absolute differences between pairs of numbers occupying consecutive…

Given a sequence of integers, we want to find a longest increasing subsequence of the sequence. It is known that this problem can be solved in $O(n \log n)$ time and space. Our goal in this paper is to reduce the space consumption while…

We consider the problem of finding a near ground state of a $p$-spin model with Rademacher couplings by means of a low-depth circuit. As a direct extension of the authors' recent work [Gamarnik, Jagannath, Wein 2020], we establish that any…

It is well known that n integers in the range [1,n^c] can be sorted in O(n) time in the RAM model using radix sorting. More generally, integers in any range [1,U] can be sorted in O(n sqrt{loglog n}) time. However, these algorithms use O(n)…

We solve a 40-year-old open problem on the depth optimality of sorting networks. In 1973, Donald E. Knuth detailed, in Volume 3 of "The Art of Computer Programming", sorting networks of the smallest depth known at the time for n =< 16…
