Algorithmic Improvements to List Decoding of Folded Reed-Solomon Codes

Vikrant Ashvinkumar, Mursalin Habib, Shashank Srivastava

Folded Reed-Solomon (FRS) codes are a well-studied family of codes, known for achieving list decoding capacity. In this work, we give improved deterministic and randomized algorith…

Evaluating Stability in Massive Social Networks: Efficient Streaming Algorithms for Structural Balance

Vikrant Ashvinkumar, Sepehr Assadi, Chengyuan Deng +2

Structural balance theory studies stability in networks. Given a -vertex complete graph whose edges are labeled positive or negative, the graph is considered \emph{bal…

Parallel, Distributed, and Quantum Exact Single-Source Shortest Paths with Negative Edge Weights

Vikrant Ashvinkumar, Aaron Bernstein, Nairen Cao +5

This paper presents parallel, distributed and quantum algorithms for single-source shortest paths when edges can have negative weights (negative-weight SSSP). We show a framework t…

Vantage Point Selection Algorithms for Bottleneck Capacity Estimation

Vikrant Ashvinkumar, Rezaul Chowdhury, Jie Gao +3

Motivated by the problem of estimating bottleneck capacities on the Internet, we formulate and study the problem of vantage point selection. We are given a graph whose e…
