We investigate parameterizing hard combinatorial problems by the size of the solution set compared to all solution candidates. Our main result is a uniform sampling algorithm for satisfying assignments of 2-CNF formulas that runs in…
This paper presents an $O^{*}(1.42^{n})$ time algorithm for the Maximum Cut problem on split graphs, along with a subexponential time algorithm for its decision variant.
We present MADAM, a parallel semidefinite based exact solver for Max-Cut, a problem of finding the cut with maximum weight in a given graph. The algorithm uses branch and bound paradigm that applies alternating direction method of…
We study several questions related to diversifying search results. We give improved approximation algorithms in each of the following problems, together with some lower bounds. - We give a polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) for a…
We investigate the complexity of three optimization problems in Boolean propositional logic related to information theory: Given a conjunctive formula over a set of relations, find a satisfying assignment with minimal Hamming distance to a…
The problem of counting the number of models of a given Boolean formula has numerous applications, including computing the leakage of deterministic programs in Quantitative Information Flow. Model counting is a hard, #P-complete problem.…
We aim to create the highest possible quality of treatment-control matches for categorical data in the potential outcomes framework. Matching methods are heavily used in the social sciences due to their interpretability, but most matching…
Goemans and Williamson proposed a randomized rounding algorithm for the MAX-CUT problem with a 0.878 approximation bound in expectation. The 0.878 approximation bound remains the best-known approximation bound for this APX-hard problem.…
In this paper, we present and study the \emph{Hamming distance oracle problem}. In this problem, the task is to preprocess two strings $S$ and $T$ of lengths $n$ and $m$, respectively, to obtain a data-structure that is able to answer…
This paper describes novel and fast, simple and robust algorithm with O(N) expected complexity which enables to decrease run-time needed to find an exact maximum distance of two points in E2. The proposed algorithm has been evaluated…
We introduce the problem of finding a satisfying assignment to a CNF formula that must further belong to a prescribed input subspace. Equivalent formulations of the problem include finding a point outside a union of subspaces (the…
We study the fundamental problem of finding the best string to represent a given set, in the form of the Closest String problem: Given a set $X \subseteq \Sigma^d$ of $n$ strings, find the string $x^*$ minimizing the radius of the smallest…
We present an exact algorithm that decides, for every fixed $r \geq 2$ in time $O(m) + 2^{O(k^2)}$ whether a given multiset of $m$ clauses of size $r$ admits a truth assignment that satisfies at least $((2^r-1)m+k)/2^r$ clauses. Thus…
In this work, we study the classic submodular maximization problem under knapsack constraints and beyond. We first present an $(7/16-\varepsilon)$-approximate algorithm for single knapsack constraint, which requires…
Given an LZW/LZ78 compressed text, we want to find an approximate occurrence of a given pattern of length m. The goal is to achieve time complexity depending on the size n of the compressed representation of the text instead of its length.…
This paper proposes an efficient HOT algorithm for solving the optimal transport (OT) problems with finite supports. We particularly focus on an efficient implementation of the HOT algorithm for the case where the supports are in…
We provide a parameterized polynomial algorithm for the propositional model counting problem #SAT, the runtime of which is single-exponential in the rank-width of a formula. Previously, analogous algorithms have been known -- e.g.~[Fischer,…
This paper studies the possibility of upper bounding the position error of an estimate for range based positioning algorithms in wireless sensor networks. In this study, we argue that in certain situations when the measured distances…
This work presents two new algorithms for performing constraint satisfaction. The first algorithm presented, DMaxWalkSat, is a constraint solver specialized for solving dynamic, weighted constraint satisfaction problems. The second…
Given $k$ collections of 2SAT clauses on the same set of variables $V$, can we find one assignment that satisfies a large fraction of clauses from each collection? We consider such simultaneous constraint satisfaction problems, and design…
