We investigate adaptive sublinear algorithms for detecting monotone patterns in an array. Given fixed $2 \leq k \in \mathbb{N}$ and $\varepsilon > 0$, consider the problem of finding a length-$k$ increasing subsequence in an array $f \colon…

Longest Increasing Subsequence (LIS) is a fundamental statistic of a sequence, and has been studied for decades. While the LIS of a sequence of length $n$ can be computed exactly in time $O(n\log n)$, the complexity of estimating the…

Finding the length of the longest increasing subsequence (LIS) is a classic algorithmic problem. Let $n$ denote the size of the array. Simple $O(n\log n)$ algorithms are known for this problem. We develop a polylogarithmic time randomized…

We study dynamic algorithms for the longest increasing subsequence (\textsf{LIS}) problem. A dynamic \textsf{LIS} algorithm maintains a sequence subject to operations of the following form arriving one by one: (i) insert an element, (ii)…

Approximating the length of the longest increasing sequence (LIS) of an array is a well-studied problem. We study this problem in the data stream model, where the algorithm is allowed to make a single left-to-right pass through the array…

This paper studies parallel algorithms for the longest increasing subsequence (LIS) problem. Let $n$ be the input size and $k$ be the LIS length of the input. Sequentially, LIS is a simple problem that can be solved using dynamic…

In this note, we consider the complexity of maintaining the longest increasing subsequence (LIS) of an array under (i) inserting an element, and (ii) deleting an element of an array. We show that no algorithm can support queries and updates…

We show that every algorithm for testing $n$-variate Boolean functions for monotonicity must have query complexity $\tilde{\Omega}(n^{1/4})$. All previous lower bounds for this problem were designed for non-adaptive algorithms and, as a…

Longest Increasing Subsequence (LIS) is a fundamental problem in combinatorics and computer science. Previously, there have been numerous works on both upper bounds and lower bounds of the time complexity of computing and approximating LIS,…

Longest common subsequence ($\mathsf{LCS}$) is a classic and central problem in combinatorial optimization. While $\mathsf{LCS}$ admits a quadratic time solution, recent evidence suggests that solving the problem may be impossible in truly…

We revisit the problem of maintaining the longest increasing subsequence (LIS) of an array under (i) inserting an element, and (ii) deleting an element of an array. In a recent breakthrough, Mitzenmacher and Seddighin [STOC 2020] designed…

In this paper, we provide new approximation algorithms for dynamic variations of the longest increasing subsequence (\textsf{LIS}) problem, and the complementary distance to monotonicity (\textsf{DTM}) problem. In this setting, operations…

We report some new observation concerning the statistics of Longest Increasing Subsequences (LIS). We show that the expectation of LIS, its variance, and apparently the full distribution function appears in statistical analysis of some…

We study the problem of finding monotone subsequences in an array from the viewpoint of sublinear algorithms. For fixed $k \in \mathbb{N}$ and $\varepsilon > 0$, we show that the non-adaptive query complexity of finding a length-$k$…

In this work, we present a plethora of results for the range longest increasing subsequence problem (Range-LIS) and its variants. The input to RLIS is a sequence $S$ of $n$ real numbers and a collection $Q$ of $m$ query ranges, and for each…

We study the problem of estimating the size of the maximum matching in the sublinear-time setting. This problem has been extensively studied, with several known upper and lower bounds. A notable result by Behnezhad (FOCS 2021) established a…

We study approximation algorithms for the following three string measures that are widely used in practice: edit distance (ED), longest common subsequence (LCS), and longest increasing sequence (LIS). All three problems can be solved…

We consider the problem of testing whether an unknown Boolean function $f$ is monotone versus $\epsilon$-far from every monotone function. The two main results of this paper are a new lower bound and a new algorithm for this well-studied…

The Longest Common Increasing Subsequence problem (LCIS) is a natural variant of the celebrated Longest Common Subsequence (LCS) problem. For LCIS, as well as for LCS, there is an $O(n^2)$-time algorithm and a SETH-based conditional lower…

We consider the canonical generalization of the well-studied Longest Increasing Subsequence problem to multiple sequences, called $k$-LCIS: Given $k$ integer sequences $X_1,\dots,X_k$ of length at most $n$, the task is to determine the…
