We study a variant of the subgraph isomorphism problem that is of high interest to the quantum computing community. Our results give an algorithm to perform pattern matching in quantum circuits for many patterns simultaneously,…
Conventional ways to solve optimization problems on low-rank matrix sets which appear in great number of applications ignore its underlying structure of an algebraic variety and existence of singular points. This leads to appearance of…
Access patterns to data stored remotely create a side channel that is known to leak information even if the content of the data is encrypted. To protect against access pattern leakage, Oblivious RAM is a cryptographic primitive that…
DPillar has recently been proposed as a server-centric datacenter network and is combinatorially related to (but distinct from) the well-known wrapped butterfly network. We explain the relationship between DPillar and the wrapped butterfly…
In this paper we study endomorphism rings of finite global dimension over a ring associated to a numerical semigroup. We construct these endomorphism rings in two ways, called the lazy and greedy construction. The first main result of this…
The guessing number of a directed graph (digraph), equivalent to the entropy of that digraph, was introduced as a direct criterion on the solvability of a network coding instance. This paper makes two contributions on the guessing number.…
The so-called welded tree problem provides an example of a black-box problem that can be solved exponentially faster by a quantum walk than by any classical algorithm. Given the name of a special ENTRANCE vertex, a quantum walk can find…
We introduce the first algorithm to perform topology-only local graph matching (a.k.a. local network alignment or subgraph isomorphism): BLANT, for Basic Local Alignment of Network Topology. BLANT first creates a limited, high-specificity…
A normal subgroup of the (extended) mapping class group of a surface is said to be geometric if its automorphism group is the mapping class group. We prove that in the case of the Cantor tree surface, every normal subgroup is geometric. We…
(Induced) Subgraph Isomorphism and Maximum Common (Induced) Subgraph are fundamental problems in graph pattern matching and similarity computation. In graphs derived from time-series data or protein structures, a natural total ordering of…
The graph isomorphism is to determine whether two graphs are isomorphic. A closely related problem is automorphism detection, where an isomorphism between two graphs is a bijection between their vertex sets that preserves adjacency, and an…
In this paper we consider endomorphisms of a finite directed path from monoid generators perspective. Our main aim is to determine the rank of the monoid $\wEnd\vec{P}_n$ of all weak endomorphisms of a directed path with $n$ vertices, which…
An ordered hypergraph is a hypergraph whose vertex set is linearly ordered, and a convex geometric hypergraph is a hypergraph whose vertex set is cyclically ordered. Extremal problems for ordered and convex geometric graphs have a rich…
Path finding algorithm addresses problem of finding shortest path from source to destination avoiding obstacles. There exist various search algorithms namely A*, Dijkstra's and ant colony optimization. Unlike most path finding algorithms…
We introduce an algorithm that constructs a random uniform graph with prescribed degree sequence together with a depth first exploration of it. In the so-called supercritical regime where the graph contains a giant component, we prove that…
The semidirect discrete logarithm problem (SDLP) in finite groups was proposed as a foundation for post-quantum cryptographic protocols, based on the belief that its non-abelian structure would resist quantum attacks. However, recent…
For a prime $p$, let $E_{p,p^m}=\{\begin{pmatrix}a&b\\p^{m-1}c&d\end{pmatrix}|a,b,c\in\mathbb{Z}_{p},~\mathrm{and}~d\in \mathbb{Z}_{p^{m}}\}$. We first establish a ring isomorphism from $\mathrm{End}(\mathbb{Z}_p\times\mathbb{Z}_p^m)$ onto…
We consider the problem of finding a Hamiltonian path or a Hamiltonian cycle with precedence constraints in the form of a partial order on the vertex set. We show that the path problem is $\mathsf{NP}$-complete for graphs of pathwidth 4…

The densest subgraph problem, introduced in the 80s by Picard and Queyranne as well as Goldberg, is a classic problem in combinatorial optimization with a wide range of applications. The lowest outdegree orientation problem is known to be…
