The so-called block-term decomposition (BTD) tensor model has been recently receiving increasing attention due to its enhanced ability of representing systems and signals that are composed of \emph{blocks} of rank higher than one, a…

We present a unified constructive digit-by-digit framework for exact root extraction using only integer arithmetic. The core contribution is a complete correctness theory for the fractional square root algorithm, proving that each computed…

The Hidden Subset Sum Problem (HSSP) is a significant NP-complete problem in number theory and combinatorics, with applications in cryptography and AI privacy. For the $(n,k)$-complete HSSP, where a target multiset must be recovered from…

We present an efficient learning algorithm for the problem of training neural networks with discrete synapses, a well-known hard (NP-complete) discrete optimization problem. The algorithm is a variant of the so-called Max-Sum (MS)…

This paper presents the following results on sets that are complete for NP. 1. If there is a problem in NP that requires exponential time at almost all lengths, then every many-one NP-complete set is complete under length-increasing…

Approximating Subset Sum is a classic and fundamental problem in computer science and mathematical optimization. The state-of-the-art approximation scheme for Subset Sum computes a $(1-\varepsilon)$-approximation in time…

We study a class of linear network coding (LNC) schemes, called circular-shift LNC, whose encoding operations consist of only circular-shifts and bit-wise additions (XOR). Formulated as a special vector linear code over GF($2$), an…

We propose a constructive algorithm that decomposes an arbitrary real tensor into a finite sum of orthonormal rank-1 outer products. The algorithm, named TTr1SVD, works by converting the tensor into a tensor-train rank-1 (TTr1) series via…

In this paper, we investigate a neural network-based learning approach towards solving an integer-constrained programming problem using very limited training. To be specific, we introduce a symmetric and decomposed neural network structure,…

This work aims to jointly optimize the coding and node selection to minimize the processing time for distributed computing tasks over wireless edge networks. Since the joint optimization problem formulation is NP-hard and nonlinear, we…

Memcomputing is a novel non-Turing paradigm of computation that uses interacting memory cells (memprocessors for short) to store and process information on the same physical platform. It was recently proved mathematically that memcomputing…

Two concatenated coding schemes based on fixed-rate Raptor codes are proposed for error control in NAND flash memory. One is geared for off-line recovery of uncorrectable pages and the other is designed for page error correction during the…

We thoroughly study a novel but basic combinatorial matrix completion problem: Given a binary incomplete matrix, fill in the missing entries so that every pair of rows in the resulting matrix has a Hamming distance within a specified range.…

A tandem duplication denotes the process of inserting a copy of a segment of DNA adjacent to its original position. More formally, a tandem duplication can be thought of as an operation that converts a string $S = AXB$ into a string $T =…

We explore the impact of coarse quantization on matrix completion in the extreme scenario of dithered one-bit sensing, where the matrix entries are compared with time-varying threshold levels. In particular, instead of observing a subset of…

In this work, a graph partitioning problem in a fixed number of connected components is considered. Given an undirected graph with costs on the edges, the problem consists of partitioning the set of nodes into a fixed number of subsets with…

One-bit compressed sensing (1bCS) addresses the recovery of sparse signals from highly quantized measurements, retaining only the sign of each linear measurement. In the support recovery setting, the goal is to identify $\text{supp}(x)$,…

Sparse optimization is a central problem in machine learning and computer vision. However, this problem is inherently NP-hard and thus difficult to solve in general. Combinatorial search methods find the global optimal solution but are…

We study the problem of finding elements in the intersection of an arbitrary conic variety in $\mathbb{F}^n$ with a given linear subspace (where $\mathbb{F}$ can be the real or complex field). This problem captures a rich family of…

Binary embeddings provide efficient and powerful ways to perform operations on large scale data. However binary embedding typically requires long codes in order to preserve the discriminative power of the input space. Thus binary coding…
