A run in a string is a maximal periodic substring. For example, the string $\texttt{bananatree}$ contains the runs $\texttt{anana} = (\texttt{an})^{3/2}$ and $\texttt{ee} = \texttt{e}^2$. There are less than $n$ runs in any length-$n$…
The {Congested Clique} is a distributed-computing model for single-hop networks with restricted bandwidth that has been very intensively studied recently. It models a network by an $n$-vertex graph in which any pair of vertices can…
In the range $\alpha$-majority query problem, we are given a sequence $S[1..n]$ and a fixed threshold $\alpha \in (0, 1)$, and are asked to preprocess $S$ such that, given a query range $[i..j]$, we can efficiently report the symbols that…
We use exponential start time clustering to design faster and more work-efficient parallel graph algorithms involving distances. Previous algorithms usually rely on graph decomposition routines with strict restrictions on the diameters of…
A border of a string is a non-empty proper prefix of the string that is also a suffix. A string is unbordered if it has no border. The longest unbordered factor is a fundamental notion in stringology, closely related to string periodicity.…
Learning, prediction, and compression are intimately connected: a model that accurately predicts the next symbol in a sequence can be coupled with a source coder to compress that sequence near its information-theoretic limit. When tokenized…
