We study greedy-type algorithms such that at a greedy step we pick several dictionary elements contrary to a single dictionary element in standard greedy-type algorithms. We call such greedy algorithms {\it super greedy algorithms}. The…
We provide a trace partitioned Gray code for the set of q-ary strings avoiding a pattern constituted by k consecutive equal symbols. The definition of this Gray code is based on two different constructions, according to the parity of q.…
An $n$-length binary word is $q$-decreasing, $q\geq 1$, if every of its length maximal factor of the form $0^a1^b$ satisfies $a=0$ or $q\cdot a > b$.We show constructively that these words are in bijection with binary words having no…
A prefix normal word is a binary word with the property that no substring has more $1$s than the prefix of the same length. By proving that the set of prefix normal words is a bubble language, we can exhaustively list all prefix normal…
Greedy algorithms are a fundamental category of algorithms in mathematics and computer science, characterized by their iterative, locally optimal decision-making approach, which aims to find global optima. In this review, we will discuss…
A lot of recent activity in the theory of cluster algebras has been directed towards various constructions of "natural" bases in them. One of the approaches to this problem was developed several years ago by P.Sherman - A.Zelevinsky who…
We consider two order relations: that induced by the m-ary reflected Gray code and a suffix partitioned variation of it. We show that both of them when applied to some sets of restricted growth sequences still yield Gray codes. These sets…
We propose a general greedy algorithm for binary de Bruijn sequences, called Generalized Prefer-Opposite (GPO) Algorithm, and its modifications. By identifying specific feedback functions and initial states, we demonstrate that most…
A Gray code is a listing structure for a set of combinatorial objects such that some consistent (usually minimal) change property is maintained throughout adjacent elements in the list. While Gray codes for m-ary strings have been…
The idea of (combinatorial) Gray codes is to list objects in question in such a way that two successive objects differ in some pre-specified small way. In this paper, we utilize beta-description trees to cyclicly Gray code three classes of…
We consider the $X$-Greedy Algorithm and the Dual Greedy Algorithm in a finite-dimensional Banach space with a strictly monotone basis as the dictionary. We show that when the dictionary is an initial segment of the Haar basis in $L_p[0,1]$…
Can a list of binary strings be ordered so that consecutive strings differ in a single bit? Can a list of permutations be ordered so that consecutive permutations differ by a swap? Can a list of non-crossing set partitions be ordered so…
In this note we extend the notion of greedy bases developed by Lee, Li, and Zelevinsky to rank two generalized cluster algebras, i.e. binomial exchange relations are replaced by polynomial exchange relations. In the process we give a…
A Gray code for a combinatorial class is a method for listing the objects in the class so that successive objects differ in some prespecified, small way, typically expressed as a bounded Hamming distance. In a previous work, the authors of…
Motivated by the change-making problem, we extend the notion of greediness to sets of positive integers not containing the element $1$, and from there to numerical semigroups. We provide an algorithm to determine if a given set (not…
We investigate at decision trees that incorporate both traditional queries based on one attribute and queries based on hypotheses about the values of all attributes. Such decision trees are similar to ones studied in exact learning, where…
In this paper, we consider the construction of linear lexicodes over finite chain rings by using a $B$-ordering over these rings and a selection criterion. % and a greedy Algorithm. As examples we give lexicodes over $\mathbb{Z}_4$ and…
We use results on Dyck words and lattice paths to derive a formula for the exact number of binary words of a given length with a given minimal abelian border length, tightening a bound on that number from Christodoulakis et al. (Discrete…
In [A. Frid, S. Puzynina, L.Q. Zamboni, \textit{On palindromic factorization of words}, Adv. in Appl. Math. 50 (2013), 737-748], it was conjectured that any infinite word whose palindromic lengths of factors are bounded is ultimately…
We show for several computational problems how classical greedy algorithms for special cases can be derived in a simple way from dynamic programs for the general case: interval scheduling (restricted to unit weights), knapsack (restricted…
