An optimal bound for embedding linear spaces into projective planes

1988

Abstract Linear spaces with υ >n 2 − 1 2 n + 1 points, b⩽n2 + n + 1 lines and not constant point degree are classified. It turns out that there is essentially one class of such linear spaces which are not near pencils and which can not be embedded into any projective plane of order n.

Cyclic and lift closures for k…21-avoiding permutations

2011

We prove that the cyclic closure of the permutation class avoiding the pattern k(k-1)...21 is finitely based. The minimal length of a minimal permutation is 2k-1 and these basis permutations are enumerated by (2k-1).c"k where c"k is the kth Catalan number. We also define lift operations and give similar results. Finally, we consider the toric closure of a class and we propose some open problems.

Tighter Relations between Sensitivity and Other Complexity Measures

2014

The sensitivity conjecture of Nisan and Szegedy [12] asks whether the maximum sensitivity of a Boolean function is polynomially related to the other major complexity measures of Boolean functions. Despite major advances in analysis of Boolean functions in the past decade, the problem remains wide open with no positive result toward the conjecture since the work of Kenyon and Kutin from 2004 [11].

Search by Quantum Walks on Two-Dimensional Grid without Amplitude Amplification

2013

We study search by quantum walk on a finite two dimensional grid. The algorithm of Ambainis, Kempe, Rivosh [AKR05] uses \(O(\sqrt{N \log{N}})\) steps and finds a marked location with probability O(1 / logN) for grid of size \(\sqrt{N} \times \sqrt{N}\). This probability is small, thus [AKR05] needs amplitude amplification to get Θ(1) probability. The amplitude amplification adds an additional \(O(\sqrt{\log{N}})\) factor to the number of steps, making it \(O(\sqrt{N} \log{N})\).

The irregularity strength of circulant graphs

2005

AbstractThe irregularity strength of a simple graph is the smallest integer k for which there exists a weighting of the edges with positive integers at most k such that all the weighted degrees of the vertices are distinct. In this paper we study the irregularity strength of circulant graphs of degree 4. We find the exact value of the strength for a large family of circulant graphs.

Almost Tight Bound for the Union of Fat Tetrahedra in Three Dimensions

2007

For any AND-OR formula of size N, there exists a bounded-error N1/2+o(1)-time quantum algorithm, based on a discrete-time quantum walk, that evaluates this formula on a black-box input. Balanced, or "approximately balanced," formulas can be evaluated in O(radicN) queries, which is optimal. It follows that the (2-o(1))th power of the quantum query complexity is a lower bound on the formula size, almost solving in the positive an open problem posed by Laplante, Lee and Szegedy.

The equidistribution of some Mahonian statistics over permutations avoiding a pattern of length three

2022

Abstract We prove the equidistribution of several multistatistics over some classes of permutations avoiding a 3-length pattern. We deduce the equidistribution, on the one hand of inv and foz e ″ statistics, and on the other hand that of maj and makl statistics, over these classes of pattern avoiding permutations. Here inv and maj are the celebrated Mahonian statistics, foz e ″ is one of the statistics defined in terms of generalized patterns in the 2000 pioneering paper of Babson and Steingrimsson, and makl is one of the statistics defined by Clarke, Steingrimsson and Zeng in (1997) [5] . These results solve several conjectures posed by Amini in (2018) [1] .

Ambainis-Freivalds’ Algorithm for Measure-Once Automata

2001

An algorithm given by Ambainis and Freivalds [1] constructs a quantum finite automaton (QFA) with O(log p) states recognizing the language Lp = {ai| i is divisible by p} with probability 1 - Ɛ , for any Ɛ > 0 and arbitrary prime p. In [4] we gave examples showing that the algorithm is applicable also to quantum automata of very limited size. However, the Ambainis-Freivalds algoritm is tailored to constructing a measure-many QFA (defined by Kondacs andWatrous [2]), which cannot be implemented on existing quantum computers. In this paper we modify the algorithm to construct a measure-once QFA of Moore and Crutchfield [3] and give examples of parameters for this automaton. We show for the lang…

Span programs for functions with constant-sized 1-certificates

2012

Besides the Hidden Subgroup Problem, the second large class of quantum speed-ups is for functions with constant-sized 1-certificates. This includes the OR function, solvable by the Grover algorithm, the element distinctness, the triangle and other problems. The usual way to solve them is by quantum walk on the Johnson graph. We propose a solution for the same problems using span programs. The span program is a computational model equivalent to the quantum query algorithm in its strength, and yet very different in its outfit. We prove the power of our approach by designing a quantum algorithm for the triangle problem with query complexity O(n35/27) that is better than O(n13/10) of the best p…
