We investigate the complexity of deciding, given a multiplication table representing a semigroup S, a subset X of S and an element t of S, whether t can be expressed as a product of elements of X. It is well-known that this problem is…

A finite group of order $n$ can be represented by its Cayley table. In the word-RAM model the Cayley table of a group of order $n$ can be stored using $O(n^2)$ words and can be used to answer a multiplication query in constant time. It is…

It is well-known that the graph isomorphism problem can be posed as an equivalent problem of determining whether an auxiliary graph structure contains a clique of specific order. However, the algorithms that have been developed so far for…

For smooth finite fields $F_q$ (i.e., when $q-1$ factors into small primes) the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) leads to the fastest known algebraic algorithms for many basic polynomial operations, such as multiplication, division,…

The paper is a part of an ongoing program which aims to show that the existential theory in free groups (hyperbolic groups or even toral relatively hyperbolic) is NP-complete. For that we study compression of solutions with straight-line…

Suppose that $F$ is a free group and $k$ is a natural number. We show that the fully compressed membership problem for $k$-generated subgroups of $F$ is solvable in polynomial time. In order to do this, we adapt the theory of Stallings'…

Semigroup theory is a branch of abstract algebra, and it provides mathematical tools for the theory of computation. Finite semigroups can describe state transition systems and thus they model physically realizable computers. Engineering…

We present a polynomial time exact quantum algorithm for the hidden subgroup problem in $Z_{m^k}^n$. The algorithm uses the quantum Fourier transform modulo m and does not require factorization of m. For smooth m, i.e., when the prime…

The Cayley table representation of a group uses $\mathcal{O}(n^2)$ words for a group of order $n$ and answers multiplication queries in time $\mathcal{O}(1)$. It is interesting to ask if there is a $o(n^2)$ space representation of groups…
