In this paper, we provide polynomial-time algorithms for different extensions of the matching counting problem, namely maximal matchings, path matchings (linear forest) and paths, on graph classes of bounded clique-width. For maximal…

This paper shows how to solve linear programs of the form $\min_{Ax=b,x\geq0} c^\top x$ with $n$ variables in time $$O^*((n^{\omega}+n^{2.5-\alpha/2}+n^{2+1/6}) \log(n/\delta))$$ where $\omega$ is the exponent of matrix multiplication,…

The well-known Eulerian path problem can be solved in polynomial time (more exactly, there exists a linear time algorithm for this problem). In this paper, we model the problem using a string matching framework, and then initiate an…

Linear matroid intersection is an important problem in combinatorial optimization. Given two linear matroids over the same ground set, the linear matroid intersection problem asks you to find a common independent set of maximum size. The…

Polymatroids are combinatorial abstractions of subspace arrangements in the same way that matroids are combinatorial abstractions of hyperplane arrangements. By introducing augmented Chow rings of polymatroids, modeled after augmented…

In the matroid secretary problem we are given a stream of elements and asked to choose a set of elements that maximizes the total value of the set, subject to being an independent set of a matroid given in advance. The difficulty comes from…

Permutation patterns and pattern avoidance have been intensively studied in combinatorics and computer science, going back at least to the seminal work of Knuth on stack-sorting (1968). Perhaps the most natural algorithmic question in this…

In this paper we present a new algorithm for solving linear programs that requires only $\tilde{O}(\sqrt{rank(A)}L)$ iterations to solve a linear program with $m$ constraints, $n$ variables, and constraint matrix $A$, and bit complexity…

We present algorithms that break the $\tilde O(nr)$-independence-query bound for the Matroid Intersection problem for the full range of $r$; where $n$ is the size of the ground set and $r\leq n$ is the size of the largest common independent…

One of the classical line of work in graph algorithms has been the Replacement Path Problem: given a graph $G$, $s$ and $t$, find shortest paths from $s$ to $t$ avoiding each edge $e$ on the shortest path from $s$ to $t$. These paths are…

While most classical NP-hard graph problems cannot be solved in time $2^{o(n)}$ on general graphs under the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH), many exhibit the square-root phenomenon and admit optimal algorithms running in time…

Matrix $M$ is {\em $k$-concise} if the finite entries of each column of $M$ consist of $k$ or less intervals of identical numbers. We give an $O(n+m)$-time algorithm to compute the row minima of any $O(1)$-concise $n\times m$ matrix. Our…

Matroid intersection is one of the most powerful frameworks of matroid theory that generalizes various problems in combinatorial optimization. Edmonds' fundamental theorem provides a min-max characterization for the unweighted setting,…

Given two matroids $\mathcal{M}_1 = (V, \mathcal{I}_1)$ and $\mathcal{M}_2 = (V, \mathcal{I}_2)$ over an $n$-element integer-weighted ground set $V$, the weighted matroid intersection problem aims to find a common independent set $S^{*} \in…

Spanning trees are a representative example of linear matroid bases that are efficiently countable. Perfect matchings of Pfaffian bipartite graphs are a countable example of common bases of two matrices. Generalizing these two examples,…

Seymour's decomposition theorem for regular matroids is a fundamental result with a number of combinatorial and algorithmic applications. In this work we demonstrate how this theorem can be used in the design of parameterized algorithms on…

Matrix multiplication is a fundamental task in almost all computational fields, including machine learning and optimization, computer graphics, signal processing, and graph algorithms (static and dynamic). Twin-width is a natural complexity…

We provide a general framework to exclude parameterized running times of the form $O(\ell^\beta+ n^\gamma)$ for problems that have polynomial running time lower bounds under hypotheses from fine-grained complexity. Our framework is based on…

We consider the problem of finding an independent set of maximum weight simultaneously contained in $k$ matroids over a common ground set. This $k$-matroid intersection problem appears naturally in many contexts, for example in generalizing…

We consider a basic computational task of finding $s$ planted rank-1 $m \times n$ matrices in a linear subspace $\mathcal{U} \subseteq \mathbb{R}^{m \times n}$ where $\dim(\mathcal{U}) = R \ge s$. The work of Johnston-Lovitz-Vijayaraghavan…
