Average-case analysis computes the complexity of an algorithm averaged over all possible inputs. Compared to worst-case analysis, it is more representative of the typical behavior of an algorithm, but remains largely unexplored in…
A balanced pair in a finite ordered set $P=(V,\leq)$ is a pair $(x,y)$ of elements of $V$ such that the proportion of linear extensions of $P$ that put $x$ before $y$ is in the real interval $[1/3, 2/3]$. We prove that every finite $N$-free…
In this paper, we provide a finite random iterated function system satisfying the open set condition, for which the random version of Bowen's formula fails to hold. This counterexample shows that analogous results established for random…
A Bayesian filtering algorithm is developed for a class of state-space systems that can be modelled via Gaussian mixtures. In general, the exact solution to this filtering problem involves an exponential growth in the number of mixture…
Due to a lack of coherent analysis, many common practices of humankind preserve low-efficient procedures. Balancing tubes during centrifugation exemplifies such a problem in laboratory practice. Using combination of symmetry group theory…
Recently, some mixture algorithms of pointwise and pairwise learning (PPL) have been formulated by employing the hybrid error metric of "pointwise loss + pairwise loss" and have shown empirical effectiveness on feature selection, ranking…
Gaussian process models are flexible, Bayesian non-parametric approaches to regression. Properties of multivariate Gaussians mean that they can be combined linearly in the manner of additive models and via a link function (like in…
We study a simple learning algorithm for binary classification. Instead of predicting with the best hypothesis in the hypothesis class, that is, the hypothesis that minimizes the training error, our algorithm predicts with a weighted…
An infinite dimensional algebra, which is useful for deriving exact solutions of the generalized pairing problem, is introduced. A formalism for diagonalizing the corresponding Hamiltonian is also proposed. The theory is illustrated with…
In this paper we study the generalized version of weighted matching in bipartite networks. Consider a weighted matching in a bipartite network in which the nodes derive value from the split of the matching edge assigned to them if they are…
The randomized extended Kaczmarz and Gauss-Seidel algorithms have attracted much attention because of their ability to treat all types of linear systems (consistent or inconsistent, full rank or rank-deficient). In this paper, we interpret…
Given two quasi-definite moment functionals, the corresponding orthogonal polynomial systems satisfy an algebraic differential relation(called an extended coherent pair). We study generalizing extended coherent pairs that unify extended…
The odds theorem and the corresponding solution algorithm (odds algorithm) are tools to solve a wide range of optimal stopping problems. Its generality and tractability have caught much attention. (Google for instance "Bruss odds" to obtain…
This paper gives an overview on and summarizes existing complexity and algorithmic results of some variants of the Stable Marriage and the Stable Roommates problems. The last section defines a list of stable matching problems mentioned in…
It is well known that a stable matching in a many-to-one matching market with couples need not exist. We introduce a new matching algorithm for such markets and show that for a general class of large random markets the algorithm will find a…
Previous parallel sorting algorithms do not scale to the largest available machines, since they either have prohibitive communication volume or prohibitive critical path length. We describe algorithms that are a viable compromise and…
The binary Euclidean algorithm is a variant of the classical Euclidean algorithm. It avoids multiplications and divisions, except by powers of two, so is potentially faster than the classical algorithm on a binary machine. We describe the…
Equational unification of two terms consists of finding a substitution that, when applied to both terms, makes them equal modulo some equational properties. Equational unification is of special relevance to automated deduction, theorem…
The applicability or terminating condition for the ordinary case of Zeilberger's algorithm was recently obtained by Abramov. For the $q$-analogue, the question of whether a bivariate $q$-hypergeometric term has a $qZ$-pair remains open. Le…
We study balanced solutions for network bargaining games with general capacities, where agents can participate in a fixed but arbitrary number of contracts. We provide the first polynomial time algorithm for computing balanced solutions for…
