On the distance between the expressions of a permutation
Abstract. We prove that the combinatorial distance between any two reduced expressions of a given permutation of {1, ..., n} in terms of transpositions lies in O(n4), a sharp bound...

Graph Logics with Rational Relations and the Generalized Intersection Problem
Abstract—We investigate some basic questions about the interaction of regular and rational relations on words. The primary motivation comes from the study of logics for querying ...

Rate distortion and denoising of individual data using Kolmogorov complexity
We examine the structure of families of distortion balls from the perspective of Kolmogorov complexity. Special attention is paid to the canonical rate-distortion function of a so...

Minimizing the object dimensions in circle and sphere packing problems
Given a fixed set of identical or different-sized circular items, the problem we deal with consists on finding the smallest object within which the items can be packed. Circular, ...

Complexity of Unification in Free Groups and Free Semi-groups
The exponent of periodicity is an important factor in estimates of complexity of word-unification algorithms. We prove that the exponent of periodicity of a minimal solution of a w...
