The 1-in-3 and Not-All-Equal satisfiability problems for Boolean CNF formulas are two well-known NP-hard problems. In contrast, the promise 1-in-3 vs. Not-All-Equal problem can be solved in polynomial time. In the present work, we…

This article describes a Turing machine which can solve for $\beta^{'}$ which is RE-complete. RE-complete problems are proven to be undecidable by Turing's accepted proof on the Entscheidungsproblem. Thus, constructing a machine which…

The set of all $ q $-ary strings that do not contain repeated substrings of length $ \leqslant\! 3 $ (i.e., that do not contain substrings of the form $ a a $, $ a b a b $, and $ a b c a b c $) constitutes a code correcting an arbitrary…

It was recently proved that any Straight-Line Program (SLP) generating a given string can be transformed in linear time into an equivalent balanced SLP of the same asymptotic size. We generalize this proof to a general class of grammars we…

The text-to-pattern Hamming distances problem asks to compute the Hamming distances between a given pattern of length $m$ and all length-$m$ substrings of a given text of length $n\ge m$. We focus on the $k$-mismatch version of the problem,…

The Promise Constraint Satisfaction Problem (PCSP) is a recently introduced vast generalization of the Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP). We investigate the computational complexity of a class of PCSPs beyond the most studied cases -…

Given a set of $k$ strings $I$, their longest common subsequence (LCS) is the string with the maximum length that is a subset of all the strings in $I$. A data-structure for this problem preprocesses $I$ into a data-structure such that the…

What makes a computational problem easy (e.g., in P, that is, solvable in polynomial time) or hard (e.g., NP-hard)? This fundamental question now has a satisfactory answer for a quite broad class of computational problems, so called…

Here we study the complexity of string problems as a function of the size of a program that generates input. We consider straight-line programs (SLP), since all algorithms on SLP-generated strings could be applied to processing…

We study algorithms for solving the problem of constructing a text (long string) from a dictionary (sequence of small strings). The problem has an application in bioinformatics and has a connection with the Sequence assembly method for…

Longest Common Substring (LCS) is an important text processing problem, which has recently been investigated in the quantum query model. The decisional version of this problem, LCS with threshold $d$, asks whether two length-$n$ input…

We show that the metaproblem for coset-generating polymorphisms is NP-complete, answering a question of Chen and Larose: given a finite structure, the computational question is whether this structure has a polymorphism of the form $(x,y,z)…

A central problem in quantum computing is to identify computational tasks which can be solved substantially faster on a quantum computer than on any classical computer. By studying the hardest such tasks, known as BQP-complete problems, we…

We study algorithms for solving three problems on strings. The first one is the Most Frequently String Search Problem. The problem is the following. Assume that we have a sequence of $n$ strings of length $k$. The problem is finding the…

We show that several reconfiguration problems known to be PSPACE-complete remain so even when limited to graphs of bounded bandwidth. The essential step is noticing the similarity to very limited string rewriting systems, whose ability to…

Lexicographically minimal string rotation is a fundamental problem in string processing that has recently garnered significant attention in quantum computing. Near-optimal quantum algorithms have been proposed for solving this problem,…

In the $k$-mismatch problem, given a pattern and a text of length $n$ and $m$ respectively, we have to find if the text has a sub-string with a Hamming distance of at most $k$ from the pattern. This has been studied in the classical setting…

We prove that deciding whether a given input word contains as subsequence every possible permutation of integers $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ is coNP-complete. The coNP-completeness holds even when given the guarantee that the input word contains as…

{\it Two-way quantum automata with quantum and classical states} (2QCFA) were introduced by Ambainis and Watrous in 2002. In this paper we study state succinctness of 2QCFA. For any $m\in {\mathbb{Z}}^+$ and any $\epsilon<1/2$, we show…
