We provide a smoothed analysis of Hoare’s find algorithm and we revisit the smoothed analysis of quicksort. Hoare’s find algorithm – often called quickselect – is an easy...

For a given positive integer k, sr(m, k) denotes the minimal positive integer such that every coloring of [n], n ≥ sr(m, k), that uses each color at most k times, yields a rainb...
IP problems characterise combinatorial optimisation problems where conventional numerical methods based on the hill-climbing technique can not be directly applied. Conventional me...
We define the weight of an integer N to be the smallest w such that N can be represented as w i=1 i2ci , with 1,..., w{1,-1}. Since arithmetic modulo a prime of low weight is parti...
A set of integers A is called a B2[g] set if every integer m has at most g representations of the form m = a + a , with a a and a, a A. We obtain a new lower bound for F(g, n), t...
