We introduce a general approach for solving partition problems where the goal is to represent a given set as a union (either disjoint or not) of subsets satisfying certain properties. Many NP-hard problems can be naturally stated as such…
Integer partitions are one of the most fundamental objects of combinatorics (and number theory), and so is enumerating objects avoiding patterns. In the present paper we describe two approaches for the systematic counting of classes of…
The successive projection algorithm (SPA) can quickly solve a nonnegative matrix factorization problem under a separability assumption. Even if noise is added to the problem, SPA is robust as long as the perturbations caused by the noise…
BioFabrics were introduced by Longabaugh in 2012 as a way to draw large graphs in a clear and uncluttered manner. The visual quality of BioFabrics crucially depends on the order of vertices and edges, which can be chosen independently.…
Given permutations $\sigma \in S_k$ and $\pi \in S_n$ with $k<n$, the \emph{pattern matching} problem is to decide whether $\pi$ matches $\sigma$ as an order-isomorphic subsequence. We give a linear-time algorithm in case both $\pi$ and…
Algorithmicists are well-aware that fast dynamic programming algorithms are very often the correct choice when computing on compositional (or even recursive) graphs. Here we initiate the study of how to generalize this folklore intuition to…
Klazar defined and studied a notion of pattern avoidance for set partitions, which is an analogue of pattern avoidance for permutations. Sagan considered partitions which avoid a single partition of three elements. We enumerate partitions…
The stable roommates problem does not necessarily have a solution, i.e. a stable matching. We had found that, for the uniformly random instance, the expected number of solutions converges to $e^{1/2}$ as $n$, the number of members, grows,…
Suffixient sets are a novel prefix array (PA) compression technique based on subsampling PA (rather than compressing the entire array like previous techniques used to do): by storing very few entries of PA (in fact, a compressed number of…
We present a framework for synthesising formulas in first-order logic (FOL) from examples, which unifies and advances state-of-the-art approaches for inference of transition system invariants. To do so, we study and categorise the existing…
We study first-order logic (FO) over the structure consisting of finite words over some alphabet $A$, together with the (non-contiguous) subword ordering. In terms of decidability of quantifier alternation fragments, this logic is…
An exploit of the Sequential Importance Sampling (SIS) algorithm using Differential Algebra (DA) techniques is derived to develop an efficient particle filter. The filter creates an original kind of particles, called scout particles, that…
A computable structure $\mathcal{A}$ is decidable if, given a formula $\varphi(\bar{x})$ of elementary first-order logic, and a tuple $\bar{a} \in \mathcal{A}$, we have a decision procedure to decide whether $\varphi$ holds of $\bar{a}$. We…
We propose a filtering feature selection framework that considers subsets of features as paths in a graph, where a node is a feature and an edge indicates pairwise (customizable) relations among features, dealing with relevance and…
We prove that, for every decreasing sequence {a \sb k} of natural numbers, there exists a map f: X --> X with cat (f\sp k)=a\sb k.
A refinement of Shor's Algorithm for determining order is introduced, which determines a divisor of the order after any one run of a quantum computer with almost absolute certainty. The information garnered from each run is accumulated to…
We consider the problem of sorting $n$ elements subject to persistent random comparison errors. In this problem, each comparison between two elements can be wrong with some fixed (small) probability $p$, and comparing the same pair of…
We explore the fundamental problem of sorting through the lens of learning-augmented algorithms, where algorithms can leverage possibly erroneous predictions to improve their efficiency. We consider two different settings: In the first…
Given a proper morphism X -> S, we show that a large class of objects in the derived category of X naturally form an Artin stack locally of finite presentation over S. This class includes S-flat coherent sheaves and, more generally,…
The paper addresses the problem of defining families of ordered sequences $\{x_i\}_{i\in N}$ of elements of a compact subset $X$ of $R^d$ whose prefixes $X_n=\{x_i\}_{i=1}^{n}$, for all orders $n$, have good space-filling properties as…
