True Work-Efficiency in Parallel Derandomization

arXiv:2608.21987v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A longstanding limitation of known techniques for parallel derandomization was that they incurred at least polylogarithmic overhead in work. For instance, for fundamental…

Three-edge-coloring apex cubic graphs

arXiv:2608.22870v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A graph $G$ is \emph{apex} if $G$ has a vertex $v$ such that $G-v$ is planar. We prove that every $2$-connected apex cubic graph is three-edge-colorable. This result…

The Parameterized Periodicity Lemma

arXiv:2608.21912v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Fine and Wilf [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 1965] showed that any string of length at least $p+q-d$ with periods $p$ and $q$ also has period $d=\gcd(p,q)$. For parameterized…

Recovery Beats Storage: Improved Space for Preprocessed 3SUM

arXiv:2608.22355v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The 3SUM problem asks, given sets $A,B,C$ of integers, whether there exist $a\in A$ and $b\in B$ whose sum belongs to $C$. In the preprocessed variant with unknown $C$,…

Optimal-Time Contextual Pattern Matching in Compressed Space

arXiv:2606.31030v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Contextual pattern matching is the task of, given a pattern $P[1,m]$, a context length $\lambda$, and a text $T[1,n]$, find all the $occ$ distinct contexts in which…
