The $c$-approximate Near Neighbor problem in high dimensional spaces has been mainly addressed by Locality Sensitive Hashing (LSH), which offers polynomial dependence on the dimension, query time sublinear in the size of the dataset, and…
We study the non-uniform capacitated multi-item lot-sizing (\lotsizing) problem. In this problem, there is a set of demands over a planning horizon of $T$ time periods and all demands must be satisfied on time. We can place an order at the…
In the classical longest palindromic substring (LPS) problem, we are given a string $S$ of length $n$, and the task is to output a longest palindromic substring in $S$. Gilbert, Hajiaghayi, Saleh, and Seddighin [SPAA 2023] showed how to…
The similarity between a pair of time series, i.e., sequences of indexed values in time order, is often estimated by the dynamic time warping (DTW) distance, instead of any in the well-studied family of measures including the longest common…

Let $T$ be a tree space (or tree network) represented by a weighted tree with $t$ vertices, and $S$ be a set of $n$ stochastic points in $T$, each of which has a fixed location with an independent existence probability. We investigate two…
Given two positions $i$ and $j$ in a string $T$ of length $N$, a longest common extension (LCE) query asks for the length of the longest common prefix between suffixes beginning at $i$ and $j$. A compressed LCE data structure is a data…
A central problem in scheduling is to schedule $n$ unit size jobs with precedence constraints on $m$ identical machines so as to minimize the makespan. For $m=3$, it is not even known if the problem is NP-hard and this is one of the last…

In the Equal-Subset-Sum problem, we are given a set $S$ of $n$ integers and the problem is to decide if there exist two disjoint nonempty subsets $A,B \subseteq S$, whose elements sum up to the same value. The problem is NP-complete. The…
The Subset Sum problem asks whether a given set of $n$ positive integers contains a subset of elements that sum up to a given target $t$. It is an outstanding open question whether the $O^*(2^{n/2})$-time algorithm for Subset Sum by…

Estimating the length of the longest increasing subsequence (LIS) in an array is a problem of fundamental importance. Despite the significance of the LIS estimation problem and the amount of attention it has received, there are important…
Non-parametric entropy estimation on sequential data is a fundamental tool in signal processing, capturing information flow within or between processes to measure predictability, redundancy, or similarity. Methods based on longest common…
We study the aggregate/group nearest neighbor searching for the MAX operator in the plane. For a set $P$ of $n$ points and a query set $Q$ of $m$ points, the query asks for a point of $P$ whose maximum distance to the points in $Q$ is…
We consider the canonical Subset Sum problem: given a list of positive integers $a_1,\ldots,a_n$ and a target integer $t$ with $t > a_i$ for all $i$, determine if there is an $S \subseteq [n]$ such that $\sum_{i \in S} a_i = t$. The…
