Better Algorithms for Constructing Minimum Cost Markov Chains and AIFV Codes

Reza Hosseini Dolatabadi, Mordedcai J. Golin, Arian Zamani

The problem of constructing optimal AIFV codes is a special case of that of constructing minimum cost Markov Chains. This paper provides the first complete proof of correctness for…

A (Weakly) Polynomial Algorithm for AIVF Coding

Reza Hosseini Dolatabadi, Mordecai J. Golin, Arian Zamani

It is possible to improve upon Tunstall coding using a collection of multiple parse trees. The best such results so far are Iwata and Yamamoto's maximum cost AIVF codes. The most e…

The Markov-Chain Polytope with Applications

Mordecai J. Golin, Albert John Lalim Patupat

This paper addresses the problem of finding a minimum-cost -state Markov chain in a large set of chains. The chains studied have a reward associated with…

Fair -Center: a Coreset Approach in Low Dimensions

Jinxiang Gan, Mordecai Golin, Zonghan Yang +1

Center-based clustering techniques are fundamental in some areas of machine learning such as data summarization. Generic -center algorithms can produce biased cluster representa…

Fully Dynamic -Center in Low Dimensions via Approximate Furthest Neighbors

Jinxiang Gan, Mordecai Jay Golin

Let be a set of points in some metric space. The approximate furthest neighbor problem is, given a second point set to find a point that is a approximate…

On the Cost of Unsuccessful Searches in Search Trees with Two-way Comparisons

Marek Chrobak, Mordecai Golin, J. Ian Munro +1

Search trees are commonly used to implement access operations to a set of stored keys. If this set is static and the probabilities of membership queries are known in advance, then…
