Linear Diophantine Equations over Polynomials and Soft Decoding of Reed-Solomon Codes
Abstract—This paper generalizes the classical Knuth–Schönhage algorithm computing the greatest common divisor (gcd) of two polynomials for solving arbitrary linear Diophantine...

A Dichotomy Theorem for Constraints on a Three-Element Set
The Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) provides a common framework for many combinatorial problems. The general CSP is known to be NP-complete; however, certain restrictions on...

A Lower Bound for Testing 3-Colorability in Bounded-Degree Graphs
We consider the problem of testing 3-colorability in the bounded-degree model. We show that, for small enough ε, every tester for 3colorability must have query complexity Ω(n)....

Optimal System of Loops on an Orientable Surface
Every compact orientable boundaryless surface M can be cut along simple loops with a common point v0, pairwise disjoint except at v0, so that the resulting surface is a topologica...

Rapidly Mixing Markov Chains for Sampling Contingency Tables with a Constant Number of Rows
We consider the problem of sampling almost uniformly from the set of contingency tables with given row and column sums, when the number of rows is a constant. Cryan and Dyer [3] h...
