We show how to compute the edit distance between two strings of length n up to a factor of 2 ~O( log n) in n1+o(1) time. This is the first sub-polynomial approximation algorithm f...
There are two main classes of decoding algorithms for "compressed sensing," those which run time time polynomial in the signal length and those which use sublinear resou...
We propose an algorithm that given as input a full word w of length n, and positive integers p and d, outputs (if any exists) a maximal p-periodic partial word contained in w with ...

The Prefix table of a string reports for each position the maximal length of its prefixes starting here. The Prefix table and its dual Suffix table are basic tools used in the d...
An attractive mechanism to specify global constraints in rostering and other domains is via formal languages. For instance, the REGULAR and GRAMMAR constraints specify constraints ...
