I introduce a new type of continuous-time quantum walk on graphs called the quantum snake walk, the basis states of which are fixed-length paths (snakes) in the underlying graph. First I analyze the quantum snake walk on the line, and I…

There is a natural bijection between Dyck paths and basis diagrams of the Temperley-Lieb algebra defined via tiling. Overhang paths are certain generalisations of Dyck paths allowing more general steps but restricted to a rectangle in the…

We achieve new results on skew polynomial rings and their quotients, including the first explicit example of a skew polynomial ring where the ratio of the degree of a skew polynomial to the degree of its bound is not extremal. These methods…

The NP-complete $k$-Path problem asks whether a given undirected graph has a (simple) path of length at least $k$. We prove that $k$-Path has polynomial-size Turing kernels when restricted to planar graphs, graphs of bounded degree,…

As shown in earlier work, skew-adjoint linear differential operators, mapping efforts into flows, give rise to Dirac structures on a bounded spatial domain by a proper definition of boundary variables. In the present paper this is extended…

We present an analytic solution to the 3D Dubins path problem for paths composed of an initial circular arc, a straight component, and a final circular arc. These are commonly called CSC paths. By modeling the start and goal configurations…

Let S be a subset of {-1,0,1}^2 not containing (0,0). We address the enumeration of plane lattice walks with steps in S, that start from (0,0) and always remain in the first quadrant. A priori, there are 2^8 problems of this type, but some…

Stochastic gradient descent (SGD) for strongly convex functions converges at the rate $\bO(1/k)$. However, achieving good results in practice requires tuning the parameters (for example the learning rate) of the algorithm. In this paper we…

In analyzing balanced parentheses, we consider a group of related variables in Dyck paths. In the four-dimensional space, the Dyck triangle is constructed, i.e. an integer lattice with Dyck paths.

Lattice paths in the quarter plane have led to a large and varied set of results in recent years. One major project has been the classification of step sets according to the properties of the corresponding generating functions, and this has…

Dyck tilings are certain tilings in the region surrounded by two Dyck paths. We study bijections and combinatorial objects bijective to Dyck tilings, which include Dyck tiling strip (DTS) and Dyck tiling ribbon (DTR) bijections, increasing…

In this paper, we consider two variants of the concept of sharp minimum for mathematical programming problems with quasiconvex objective function and inequality constraints. It investigated the problem of describing a variant of a simple…

Prediction-correction algorithms are a highly effective class of methods for solving pseudo-convex optimization problems. The descent direction of these algorithms can be viewed as an adjustment to the gradient direction based on the…

This paper investigates numerical solution methods for the Schatten-$p$ quasi-norm regularized problem with $p \in [0,1]$, which has been widely studied for finding low-rank solutions of linear inverse problems and gained successful…

Garsia and Xin gave a linear algorithm for inverting the sweep map for Fuss rational Dyck paths in $D_{m,n}$ where $m=kn\pm 1$. They introduced an intermediate family $\mathcal{T}_n^k$ of certain standard Young tableau. Then inverting the…

Dyadic prediction methods operate on pairs of objects (dyads), aiming to infer labels for out-of-sample dyads. We consider the full and almost full cold start problem in dyadic prediction, a setting that occurs when both objects in an…

We study the number of tilings of skew Young diagrams by ribbon tiles shaped like Dyck paths, in which the tiles are "vertically decreasing". We use these quantities to compute pairing probabilities in the double-dimer model: Given a planar…

We propose kernel-gradient drifting, a one-step generative modeling framework that replaces the fixed Euclidean displacement direction in drifting models with directions induced by the kernel itself. Standard drifting is attractive because…

It is well-known that the length generating function E(t) of Dyck paths (excursions with steps +1 and -1) satisfies 1-E+t^2E^2=0. The generating function E^(k)(t) of Dyck paths of height at most k is E^(k)=F_k/F_{k+1}, where the F_k are…

We provide a framework for the design and analysis of dynamic programming algorithms for surface-embedded graphs on n vertices and branchwidth at most k. Our technique applies to general families of problems where standard dynamic…
