Data compression has been widely applied in many data processing areas. Compression methods use variable-size codes with the shorter codes assigned to symbols or groups of symbols that appear in the data frequently. Fibonacci coding, as a…
Two very fast and simple O(lg n) algorithms for individual Fibonacci numbers are given and compared to competing algorithms. A simple O(lg n) recursion is derived that can also be applied to Lucas. A formula is given to estimate the largest…
The main component of (constructive) recognition algorithms for black box groups of Lie type in computational group theory is the construction of unipotent elements. In the existing algorithms unipotent elements are found by random search…
In order to study how well a finite group might be generated by repeated random multiplications, P. Diaconis suggested the following urn model. An urn contains some balls labeled by elements which generate a group G. Two are drawn at random…
Random numbers are essential for our modern information based society e.g. in cryptography. Unlike frequently used pseudo-random generators, physical random number generators do not depend on complex algorithms but rather on a physical…
The discrete logarithm problem in a finite group is the basis for many protocols in cryptography. The best general algorithms which solve this problem have time complexity of $\mathcal{O}(\sqrt{N}\log N)$, and a space complexity of…
We present a quantum algorithm which identifies with certainty a hidden subgroup of an arbitrary finite group G in only a polynomial (in log |G|) number of calls to the oracle. This is exponentially better than the best classical algorithm.…
For a finite group $G$, the size of a minimum generating set of $G$ is denoted by $d(G)$. Given a finite group $G$ and an integer $k$, deciding if $d(G)\leq k$ is known as the minimum generating set (MIN-GEN) problem. A group $G$ of order…

Withdrawn by the author due to irreparable errors. We present a quantum algorithm that in the black-box model performs a search in an ordered list of N elements. Using 3/4 log N + O(1) queries, it achieves a success probability of at least…
Performing large-scale, accurate quantum simulations of many-fermion systems is a central challenge in quantum science, with applications in chemistry, materials, and high-energy physics. Despite significant progress, realizing generic…
We present three simple algorithms to uniformly generate `Fibonacci words' (i.e., some words that are enumerated by Fibonacci numbers), Schr{\"o}der trees of size $n$ and Motzkin left factors of size $n$ and final height $h$. These…
We introduce a geometrically natural probability measure on the group of all M\"obius transformations of the circle. Our aim is to study "random" groups of M\"obius transformations, and in particular random two-generator groups. By this we…
Quantum random number generation is a technique to generate random numbers by extracting randomness from specific quantum processes. As for practical random number generators, they are required not only to have no information leakage but…
The dominant theme of this thesis is the construction of matrix representations of finite solvable groups using a suitable system of generators. For a finite solvable group $G$ of order $N = p_{1}p_{2}\dots p_{n}$, where $p_{i}$'s are…
