We introduce and study a mathematical framework for a broad class of regularization functionals for ill-posed inverse problems: Regularization Graphs. Regularization graphs allow to construct functionals using as building blocks linear…

Dominant sentence ordering models can be classified into pairwise ordering models and set-to-sequence models. However, there is little attempt to combine these two types of models, which inituitively possess complementary advantages. In…

We examine ordered graphs, defined as graphs with linearly ordered vertices, from the perspective of homomorphisms (and colorings) and their complexities. We demonstrate the corresponding computational and parameterized complexities, along…

Reasoning is a fundamentally algorithmic task. Yet current work on LLM-based reasoning relies on free-form generation whose theoretical guarantees (soundness, completeness, complexity, optimality) remain poorly understood. We argue that we…

The computational complexity of the isomorphism problem for regular trees, regular linear orders, and regular words is analyzed. A tree is regular if it is isomorphic to the prefix order on a regular language. In case regular languages are…

The usefulness of parameterized algorithmics has often depended on what Niedermeier has called, "the art of problem parameterization". In this paper we introduce and explore a novel but general form of parameterization: the number of…

We introduce the task of out-of-order membership to a formal language L, where the letters of a word w are revealed one by one in an adversarial order. The length |w| is known in advance, but the content of w is streamed as pairs (i, w[i]),…

In the first part of the present work we consider periodically or quasiperiodically forced systems of the form $(d/dt)x = \epsilon f(x,t \omega )$, where $\epsilon\ll 1$, $\omega\in\mathbb{R}^d$ is a nonresonant vector of frequencies and…

Burrows-Wheeler transform (BWT) is an invertible text transformation that, given a text $T$ of length $n$, permutes its symbols according to the lexicographic order of suffixes of $T$. BWT is one of the most heavily studied algorithms in…
