We give the first truly subquadratic time algorithm, with $O^*(n^{2-1/18})$ running time, for computing the diameter of an $n$-vertex unit-disk graph, resolving a central open problem in the literature. Our result is obtained as an instance…

We consider the problem of subspace clustering: given points that lie on or near the union of many low-dimensional linear subspaces, recover the subspaces. To this end, one first identifies sets of points close to the same subspace and uses…

We prove that any algorithm computing the sum-exclude-self of an unsigned $d$-bit integer array of length $n$ under sublinear space must perform two linear passes over the input. More precisely, the algorithm must read at least $n-1$ input…

Consider positive integral solutions $x \in \mathbb{Z}^{n+1}$ to the equation $a_0 x_0 + \ldots + a_n x_n = t$. In the so called unbounded subset sum problem, the objective is to decide whether such a solution exists, whereas in the…
