Radix enumeration of rational languages

Pierre-Yves Angrand, Jacques Sakarovitch (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

We prove that the function that maps a word of a rational language onto its successor for the radix order in this language is a finite union of co-sequential functions.

Ramsey partitions and proximity data structures

Manor Mendel, Assaf Naor (2007)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

This paper addresses two problems lying at the intersection of geometric analysis and theoretical computer science: The non-linear isomorphic Dvoretzky theorem and the design of good approximate distance oracles for large distortion.We introduce the notion of Ramsey partitions of a finite metric space, and show that the existence of good Ramsey partitions implies a solution to the metric Ramsey problem for large distortion (also known as the non-linear version of the isomorphic Dvoretzky theorem,...

Random generation for finitely ambiguous context-free languages

Alberto Bertoni, Massimiliano Goldwurm, Massimo Santini (2001)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

We prove that a word of length n from a finitely ambiguous context-free language can be generated at random under uniform distribution in O ( n 2 log n ) time by a probabilistic random access machine assuming a logarithmic cost criterion. We also show that the same problem can be solved in polynomial time for every language accepted by a polynomial time 1 -NAuxPDA with polynomially bounded ambiguity.

Random Generation for Finitely Ambiguous Context-free Languages

Rank of tensors of -out-of- k functions: An application in probabilistic inference

Jiří Vomlel (2011)

Kybernetika

Bayesian networks are a popular model for reasoning under uncertainty. We study the problem of efficient probabilistic inference with these models when some of the conditional probability tables represent deterministic or noisy -out-of- k functions. These tables appear naturally in real-world applications when we observe a state of a variable that depends on its parents via an addition or noisy addition relation. We provide a lower bound of the rank and an upper bound for the symmetric border rank...

Rational approximations to algebraic Laurent series with coefficients in a finite field

Alina Firicel (2013)

Acta Arithmetica

We give a general upper bound for the irrationality exponent of algebraic Laurent series with coefficients in a finite field. Our proof is based on a method introduced in a different framework by Adamczewski and Cassaigne. It makes use of automata theory and, in our context, of a classical theorem due to Christol. We then introduce a new approach which allows us to strongly improve this general bound in many cases. As an illustration, we give a few examples of algebraic Laurent series for which...
