In this paper, we study a distributed learning problem constrained by constant communication bits. Specifically, we consider the distributed hypothesis testing (DHT) problem where two distributed nodes are constrained to transmit a constant…
In computational biology, tandem duplication is an important biological phenomenon which can occur either at the genome or at the DNA level. A tandem duplication takes a copy of a genome segment and inserts it right after the segment - this…
In this work, we study the classic submodular maximization problem under knapsack constraints and beyond. We first present an $(7/16-\varepsilon)$-approximate algorithm for single knapsack constraint, which requires…
In this article, we study the problem of finding the longest common separable pattern between several permutations. We give a polynomial-time algorithm when the number of input permutations is fixed and show that the problem is NP-hard for…
We consider approximate circular pattern matching (CPM, in short) under the Hamming and edit distance, in which we are given a length-$n$ text $T$, a length-$m$ pattern $P$, and a threshold $k>0$, and we are to report all starting positions…
In the Determinant Maximization problem, given an $n\times n$ positive semi-definite matrix $\bf{A}$ in $\mathbb{Q}^{n\times n}$ and an integer $k$, we are required to find a $k\times k$ principal submatrix of $\bf{A}$ having the maximum…
For all $k \geq 1$, we show that deciding whether a graph is $k$-planar is NP-complete, extending the well-known fact that deciding 1-planarity is NP-complete. Furthermore, we show that the gap version of this decision problem is…
We consider the problem of computing distance between a pattern of length $n$ and all $n$-length subwords of a text in the streaming model. In the streaming setting, only the Hamming distance ($L_0$) has been studied. It is known that…
A linear constraint loop is specified by a system of linear inequalities that define the relation between the values of the program variables before and after a single execution of the loop body. In this paper we consider the problem of…

We study the maximum cardinality problem of a set of few distances in the Hamming and Johnson spaces. We formulate semidefinite programs for this problem and extend the 2011 works by Barg-Musin and Musin-Nozaki. As our main result, we find…
Independent parallel q-ary symmetric channels are a suitable transmission model for several applications. The proposed weighted-Hamming metric is tailored to this setting and enables optimal decoding performance. We show that some…
Determining the distance between a controllable system to the set of uncontrollable systems, namely, the controllability radius problem, has been extensively studied in the past. However, the opposite direction, that is, determining the…
In minimum-cost inverse optimization problems, we are given a feasible solution to an underlying optimization problem together with a linear cost function, and the goal is to modify the costs by a small deviation vector so that the input…
Sum-rank Hamming codes are introduced in this work. They are essentially defined as the longest codes (thus of highest information rate) with minimum sum-rank distance at least $ 3 $ (thus one-error-correcting) for a fixed redundancy $ r $,…
A question going back to Halmos asks when two approximately commuting matrices of a certain kind are close to exactly commuting matrices of the same kind. It has long been known that there is a winding number obstruction for approximately…
We prove the existence of a canonical form for semi-deterministic transducers with incomparable sets of output strings. Based on this, we develop an algorithm which learns semi-deterministic transducers given access to translation queries.…

The column Hamming distance of a convolutional code determines the error correction capability when streaming over a class of packet erasure channels. We introduce a metric known as the column sum rank, that parallels column Hamming…
This paper demonstrates the relativity of Computability and Nondeterministic; the nondeterministic is just Turing's undecidable Decision rather than the Nondeterministic Polynomial time. Based on analysis about TM, UM, DTM, NTM, Turing…
