In the $k$-cut problem, we are given an edge-weighted graph $G$ and an integer $k$, and have to remove a set of edges with minimum total weight so that $G$ has at least $k$ connected components. The current best algorithms are an…
Given an input $x$, and a search problem $F$, local computation algorithms (LCAs) implement access to specified locations of $y$ in a legal output $y \in F(x)$, using polylogarithmic time and space. Mansour et al., (2012), had previously…
We study the planted clique problem in which a clique of size k is planted in an Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph G(n, 1/2), and one is interested in either detecting or recovering this planted clique. This problem is interesting because it is…
Havel in 1955, Erd\H{o}s and Gallai in 1960, Hakimi in 1962, Ruskey, Cohen, Eades and Scott in 1994, Barnes and Savage in 1997, Kohnert in 2004, Tripathi, Venugopalan and West in 2010 proposed a method to decide, whether a sequence of…
The minimum degree algorithm is one of the most widely-used heuristics for reducing the cost of solving large sparse systems of linear equations. It has been studied for nearly half a century and has a rich history of bridging techniques…
We consider the problem of finding \textit{semi-matching} in bipartite graphs which is also extensively studied under various names in the scheduling literature. We give faster algorithms for both weighted and unweighted case. For the…
In this work we describe a fast and stable algorithm for the computation of the orthogonal moments of an image. Indeed, orthogonal moments are characterized by a high discriminative power, but some of their possible formulations are…
We present a new GCD algorithm of two integers or polynomials. The algorithm is iterative and its time complexity is still $O(n \\log^2 n ~ log \\log n)$ for $n$-bit inputs.
In this work, we study the relative hardness of fundamental problems with state-of-the-art word RAM algorithms that take $O(n\sqrt{\log n})$ time for instances described in $\Theta(n)$ machine words ($\Theta(n\log n)$ bits). This complexity…
We revisit classic string problems considered in the area of parameterized complexity, and study them through the lens of dynamic data structures. That is, instead of asking for a static algorithm that solves the given instance efficiently,…
Consider a set $P$ of $n$ points picked uniformly and independently from $[0,1]^d$ for a constant dimension $d$ -- such a point set is extremely well behaved in many aspects. For example, for a fixed $r \in [0,1]$, we prove a new…
We present an efficient algorithm for simulating the time evolution due to a sparse Hamiltonian. In terms of the maximum degree d and dimension N of the space on which the Hamiltonian H acts for time t, this algorithm uses (d^2(d+log*…
We give a new hypergeometric construction of rational approximations to $\zeta(4)$, which absorbs the earlier one from 2003 based on Bailey's ${}_9F_8$ hypergeometric integrals. With the novel ingredients we are able to get a better control…
We revisit the online Unit Covering problem in higher dimensions: Given a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, that arrive one by one, cover the points by balls of unit radius, so as to minimize the number of balls used. In this paper, we…
Based on previous results of digital topology, this paper focuses on algorithms of topological invariants of objects in 2D and 3D Digital Spaces. We specifically interest in solving hole counting of 2D objects and genus of closed surface in…

In this paper, we propose new techniques for solving geometric optimization problems involving interpoint distances of a point set in the plane. Given a set $P$ of $n$ points in the plane and an integer $1 \leq k \leq \binom{n}{2}$, the…
We prove the existence of an algorithm $A$ for computing 2-d or 3-d convex hulls that is optimal for every point set in the following sense: for every sequence $\sigma$ of $n$ points and for every algorithm $A'$ in a certain class…
We use the weighted version of the arithmetic-mean-geometric-mean inequality to motivate new results about Zaremba's function, $z(n) = \sum_{d|n} \frac{\log d}{d}$. We investigate record-setting values for $z(n)$ and the related function…
Most autonomous vehicles rely on accurate and efficient localization, which is achieved by comparing live sensor data to a preexisting map, to navigate their environment. Balancing the accuracy of localization with computational efficiency…
