Consider the following Online Boolean Matrix-Vector Multiplication problem: We are given an $n\times n$ matrix $M$ and will receive $n$ column-vectors of size $n$, denoted by $v_1,\ldots,v_n$, one by one. After seeing each vector $v_i$, we…

We prove that deciding whether a given input word contains as subsequence every possible permutation of integers $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ is coNP-complete. The coNP-completeness holds even when given the guarantee that the input word contains as…

Let f(n)=1 if n=1, 2^(2^(n-2)) if n \in {2,3,4,5}, (2+2^(2^(n-4)))^(2^(n-4)) if n \in {6,7,8,...}. We conjecture that if a system T \subseteq {x_i+1=x_k, x_i \cdot x_j=x_k: i,j,k \in {1,...,n}} has only finitely many solutions in positive…

Complexity of a quantum analogue of the satisfiability problem is studied. Quantum k-SAT is a problem of verifying whether there exists n-qubit pure state such that its k-qubit reduced density matrices have support on prescribed subspaces.…

This work represents an in-depth study of the structural behavior of the Collatz sequences. We consider a finite arithmetic progression with a common difference is 2 and the number of terms in the sequence is equal to 2^n . After, we…

We show that for any constant $c>0$, any (two-sided error) adaptive algorithm for testing monotonicity of Boolean functions must have query complexity $\Omega(n^{1/2-c})$. This improves the $\tilde\Omega(n^{1/3})$ lower bound of [CWX17] and…

It is known that Goertzel's algorithm is much less numerically accurate than the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)(Cf. \cite{gen:69}). In order to improve accuracy we propose modifications of both Goertzel's and Horner's algorithms based on the…

We discuss conjectures related to the following two conjectures: (1) for each complex numbers x_1,...,x_n there exist rationals y_1,...,y_n \in [-2^{n-1},2^{n-1}] such that \forall i \in {1,...,n} (x_i=1 \Rightarrow y_i=1) \forall i,j,k \in…

For every irrational real $\alpha$, let $M(\alpha) = \sup_{n\geq 1} a_n(\alpha)$ denote the largest partial quotient in its continued fraction expansion (or $\infty$, if unbounded). The $2$-adic Littlewood conjecture (2LC) can be stated as…
