Exponential Bounds for the Running Time of a Selection Algorithm

چکیده

A nonrecursive version of this algorithm is of course easy to find. The work done here can be measured by the number of comparisons between elements (these occur only in the step in which S is split into S,, S, and S,). It is known that this algorithm requires f2(n’) comparisons in the worst case. The algorithm runs in average time O(n) (Aho et al. [ 11). In fact, Knuth [lo] has shown that the average number of comparisons is at most

Capacity Bounds and High-SNR Capacity of the Additive Exponential Noise Channel With Additive Exponential Interference

Communication in the presence of a priori known interference at the encoder has gained great interest because of its many practical applications. In this paper, additive exponential noise channel with additive exponential interference (AENC-AEI) known non-causally at the transmitter is introduced as a new variant of such communication scenarios‎. First, it is shown that the additive Gaussian ch...

An Improved Flower Pollination Algorithm with AdaBoost Algorithm for Feature Selection in Text Documents Classification

In recent years, production of text documents has seen an exponential growth, which is the reason why their proper classification seems necessary for better access. One of the main problems of classifying text documents is working in high-dimensional feature space. Feature Selection (FS) is one of the ways to reduce the number of text attributes. So, working with a great bulk of the feature spa...

Exponential Lower Bounds for the PPSZ k-SAT Algorithm

In 1998, Paturi, Pudlák, Saks, and Zane presented PPSZ, an elegant randomized algorithm for k-SAT. Fourteen years on, this algorithm is still the fastest known worst-case algorithm. They proved that its expected running time on k-CNF formulas with n variables is at most 2(1− k, where k ∈ Ω(1/k). So far, no exponential lower bounds at all have been known. In this paper, we construct hard instanc...

Hard Problems for CSP Algorithms

We prove exponential lower bounds on the running time of many algorithms for Constraint Satisfaction, by giving a simple family of instances on which they always take exponential time. Although similar lower bounds for most of these algorithms have been shown before, we provide a uniform treatment which illustrates a powerful general approach and has stronger impfications for the practice of al...
