Algorithmicity of Evolutionary Algorithms [PDF]
Abstract In the first part of our article we will refer the penetration of scientific terms into colloquial language, focusing on the sense in which the concept of an algorithm currently functions outside its original scope. The given examples will refer mostly to disciplines not directly related to computer science and to the colloquial

Algorithm selection of anytime algorithms [PDF]
Anytime algorithms for optimization problems are of particular interest since they allow to trade off execution time with result quality. However, the selection of the best anytime algorithm for a given problem instance has been focused on a particular budget for execution time or particular target result quality.

Algorithmic audits of algorithms, and the law
Algorithmic decision making is now widespread, ranging from health care allocation to more common actions such as recommendation or information ranking. The aim to audit these algorithms has grown alongside. In this paper, we focus on external audits that are conducted by interacting with the user side of the target algorithm, hence considered as a ...

Some exactly solvable models of urn process theory [PDF]
We establish a fundamental isomorphism between discrete-time balanced urn processes and certain ordinary differential systems, which are nonlinear, autonomous, and of a simple monomial form.

Influence of the tie-break rule on the end-vertex problem [PDF]
End-vertices of a given graph search may have some nice properties, as for example it is well known that the last vertex of Lexicographic Breadth First Search (LBFS) in a chordal graph is simplicial, see Rose, Tarjan and Lueker 1976.

Algorithmics is the study and practice of taking a high-level description of a program’s purpose and, from it, producing an executable program of acceptable efficiency. Each step in that process is justified by rigorous, careful reasoning at the moment it is taken; and the repertoire of steps allowed by that rigour, at each stage, guides the ...

HyperLogLog: the analysis of a near-optimal cardinality estimation algorithm [PDF]
This extended abstract describes and analyses a near-optimal probabilistic algorithm, HYPERLOGLOG, dedicated to estimating the number of \emphdistinct elements (the cardinality) of very large data ensembles.

The height of random binary unlabelled trees [PDF]
This extended abstract is dedicated to the analysis of the height of non-plane unlabelled rooted binary trees. The height of such a tree chosen uniformly among those of size $n$ is proved to have a limiting theta distribution, both in a central and local

Distinct gene expression patterns within cells are foundational for the diversity of functions and unique characteristics observed in specific contexts, such as human tissues and cell types. Though some biological processes commonly occur across contexts,

Polynomial-Time Algorithms for Prime Factorization and Discrete Logarithms on a Quantum Computer [PDF]
A digital computer is generally believed to be an efficient universal computing device; that is, it is believed to be able to simulate any physical computing device with an increase in computation time by at most a polynomial factor. This may not be true
