Range Minimum Query (RMQ) is an important building brick of many compressed data structures and string matching algorithms. Although this problem is essentially solved in theory, with sophisticated data structures allowing for constant time…

Let {\alpha} be the maximal value such that the product of an n x n^{\alpha} matrix by an n^{\alpha} x n matrix can be computed with n^{2+o(1)} arithmetic operations. In this paper we show that \alpha>0.30298, which improves the previous…

The input to the Multiway Cut problem is a weighted undirected graph, with nonnegative edge weights, and $k$ designated terminals. The goal is to partition the vertices of the graph into $k$ parts, each containing exactly one of the…

The primary Carmichael numbers were recently introduced as a special subset of the Carmichael numbers. A primary Carmichael number $m$ has the unique property that $s_p(m) = p$ holds for each prime factor $p$, where $s_p(m)$ is the sum of…

We design new approximation algorithms for the Multiway Cut problem, improving the previously known factor of 1.32388 [Buchbinder et al., 2013]. We proceed in three steps. First, we analyze the rounding scheme of Buchbinder et al., 2013 and…

For a Carmichael number $n$ with prime factors $p_1,\cdots,p_m$, define $$K=GCD[p_1-1,\cdots,p_m-1],$$ and let $C_\nu(X)$ denote the number of Carmichael numbers up to $X$ such that $K=\nu$. Assuming a strong conjecture on the first prime…

We describe how the Hardy-Ramanujan-Rademacher formula can be implemented to allow the partition function $p(n)$ to be computed with softly optimal complexity $O(n^{1/2+o(1)})$ and very little overhead. A new implementation based on these…

We prove that for each odd number k, the sequence (k2^n+1)_{n\ge 1} contains only a finite number of Carmichael numbers. We also prove that k=27 is the smallest value for which such a sequence contains some Carmichael number.

We show that universal elliptic Carmichael numbers do not exist, answering a question of Silverman. Moreover, we show that the probability that an integer $n$, which is not a prime power, is an elliptic Carmichael number for a random curve…

In this work we study two families of codes with availability, namely private information retrieval (PIR) codes and batch codes. While the former requires that every information symbol has $k$ mutually disjoint recovering sets, the latter…

Recent years have witnessed extensive attention in binary code learning, a.k.a. hashing, for nearest neighbor search problems. It has been seen that high-dimensional data points can be quantized into binary codes to give an efficient…

This paper presents an enhancement to Grover's search algorithm for instances where the number of items (or the size of the search problem) $N$ is not a power of 2. By employing an efficient algorithm for the preparation of uniform quantum…

Let $S\subset R^n$ be a compact basic semi-algebraic set defined as the real solution set of multivariate polynomial inequalities with rational coefficients. We design an algorithm which takes as input a polynomial system defining $S$ and…

We show new lower bounds on the sample complexity of $(\varepsilon, \delta)$-differentially private algorithms that accurately answer large sets of counting queries. A counting query on a database $D \in (\{0,1\}^d)^n$ has the form "What…

Binary codes are widely used to represent the data due to their small storage and efficient computation. However, there exists an ambiguity problem that lots of binary codes share the same Hamming distance to a query. To alleviate the…

Multipoint polynomial evaluation and interpolation are fundamental for modern symbolic and numerical computing. The known algorithms solve both problems over any field of constants in nearly linear arithmetic time, but the cost grows to…

The PSLQ algorithm is one of the most popular algorithm for finding nontrivial integer relations for several real numbers. In the present work, we present an incremental version of PSLQ. For some applications needing to call PSLQ many…

Drawing on various notions from theoretical computer science, we present a novel numerical approach, motivated by the notion of algorithmic probability, to the problem of approximating the Kolmogorov-Chaitin complexity of short strings. The…

This article proposes an PQR search method for probabilistic objects. The main idea of our method is to use a strategy called \textit{pre-approximation} that can reduce the initial problem to a highly simplified version, implying that it…

The purpose of this paper is the formal verification of a counterexample of Santos et al. to the so-called Hirsch Conjecture on the diameter of polytopes (bounded convex polyhedra). In contrast with the pen-and-paper proof, our approach is…
