We consider Rote words, which are infinite binary words with factor complexity $2n$. We prove that the repetition threshold for this class is $5/2$. Our technique is purely computational, using the Walnut theorem prover and a new technique…

We show that any randomised Monte Carlo distributed algorithm for the Lov\'asz local lemma requires $\Omega(\log \log n)$ communication rounds, assuming that it finds a correct assignment with high probability. Our result holds even in the…

In a recent breakthrough result, Balliu et al. [FOCS'19] proved a deterministic $\Omega(\min(\Delta,\log n /\log \log n))$-round and a randomized $\Omega(\min(\Delta,\log \log n/\log \log \log n))$-round lower bound for the complexity of…

In this paper, we study the restricted isometry property of partial random circulant matrices. For a bounded subgaussian generator with independent entries, we prove that the partial random circulant matrices satisfy $s$-order RIP with high…

A maximal matching can be maintained in fully dynamic (supporting both addition and deletion of edges) $n$-vertex graphs using a trivial deterministic algorithm with a worst-case update time of O(n). No deterministic algorithm that…

A \emph{saddlepoint} of an $n \times n$ matrix is an entry that is the maximum of its row and the minimum of its column. Saddlepoints give the \emph{value} of a two-player zero-sum game, corresponding to its pure-strategy Nash equilibria;…

Minimal deterministic finite automata (DFAs) can be reduced further at the expense of a finite number of errors. Recently, such minimization algorithms have been improved to run in time O(n log n), where n is the number of states of the…

We prove a list recovery guarantee for random low-rate linear codes over sufficiently large prime fields. For fixed dimension $d$, error fraction $\alpha$, and accuracy parameter $\varepsilon$, a random $d$-dimensional linear code $C…

In previous work (Kuo, Nuyens, Wilkes, 2023), we showed that a lattice rule with a pre-determined generating vector but random number of points can achieve the near optimal convergence of $O(n^{-\alpha-1/2+\epsilon})$, $\epsilon > 0$, for…

Let $\mathbf {x}_1,\ldots,\mathbf {x}_n$ be a random sample from a $p$-dimensional population distribution, where $p=p_n\to\infty$ and $\log p=o(n^{\beta})$ for some $0<\beta\leq1$, and let $L_n$ be the coherence of the sample correlation…

We consider the minimum makespan problem for $n$ tasks and two unrelated parallel selfish machines. Let $R_n$ be the best approximation ratio of randomized monotone scale-free algorithms. This class contains the most efficient algorithms…

We determine the sharp threshold for Hamilton cycles in randomly perturbed sparse graphs. For any $\alpha=\alpha(n)=o(1)$, let $G_{\alpha}$ be an $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree $\delta(G_{\alpha})\ge\alpha n$. We prove that if…

We present improved deterministic distributed algorithms for a number of well-studied matching problems, which are simpler, faster, more accurate, and/or more general than their known counterparts. The common denominator of these results is…

This paper introduces a simple Markov process inspired by the problem of quasicrystal growth. It acts over two-letter words by randomly performing \emph{flips}, a local transformation which exchanges two consecutive different letters. More…

Consider finite sequences $X_{[1,n]}=X_1\dots X_n$ and $Y_{[1,n]}=Y_1\dots Y_n$ of length $n$, consisting of i.i.d.\ samples of random letters from a finite alphabet, and let $S$ and $T$ be chosen i.i.d.\ randomly from the unit ball in the…

It is a classical result that a random permutation of $n$ elements has, on average, about $\log n$ cycles. We generalise this fact to all directed $d$-regular graphs on $n$ vertices by showing that, on average, a random cycle-factor of such…

Consider a random graph process with $n$ vertices corresponding to points $v_{i} \sim {Unif}[0,1]$ embedded randomly in the interval, and where edges are inserted between $v_{i}, v_{j}$ independently with probability given by the graphon…

We prove that, for any arbitrary finite alphabet and for the uniform distribution over deterministic and accessible automata with n states, the average complexity of Moore's state minimization algorithm is in O(n log n). Moreover this bound…

We describe a uniform construction for converting $\omega$-automata with arbitrary acceptance conditions (based on the notion of infinity sets i.e. the set of states visited infinitely often in a run of the automaton) to equivalent…

Given some binary matrix $M$, suppose we are presented with the collection of its rows and columns in independent arbitrary orderings. From this information, are we able to recover the unique original orderings and matrix? We present an…
