• Abstract summary: We present deterministic algorithms for the Hidden Subgroup Problem. For abelian groups, the first algorithm achieves the same worst-case query complexity as the optimal randomized algorithm. The analogous algorithm for non-abelian groups comes within a $sqrt log n$ factor of the optimal randomized query complexity.

• Abstract: We present deterministic algorithms for the Hidden Subgroup Problem. The first algorithm, for abelian groups, achieves the same asymptotic worst-case query complexity as the optimal randomized algorithm, namely O($\sqrt{ n}\,$), where $n$ is the order of the group. The analogous algorithm for non-abelian groups comes within a $\sqrt{ \log n}$ factor of the optimal randomized query complexity. The best known randomized algorithm for the Hidden Subgroup Problem has expected query complexity that is sensitive to the input, namely O($\sqrt{ n/m}\,$), where $m$ is the order of the hidden subgroup. In the first version of this article (arXiv:2104.14436v1 [cs.DS]), we asked if there is a deterministic algorithm whose query complexity has a similar dependence on the order of the hidden subgroup. Prompted by this question, Ye and Li (arXiv:2110.00827v1 [cs.DS]) present deterministic algorithms for abelian groups which solve the problem with O($\sqrt{ n/m }\,$ ) queries, and find the hidden subgroup with O($\sqrt{ n (\log m) / m} + \log m$) queries. Moreover, they exhibit instances which show that in general, the deterministic query complexity of the problem may be o($\sqrt{ n/m } \,$), and that of finding the entire subgroup may also be o($\sqrt{ n/m } \,$) or even $\omega(\sqrt{ n/m } \,)$. We present a different deterministic algorithm for the Hidden Subgroup Problem that also has query complexity O($\sqrt{ n/m }\,$) for abelian groups. The algorithm is arguably simpler. Moreover, it works for non-abelian groups, and has query complexity O($\sqrt{ (n/m) \log (n/m) }\,$) for a large class of instances, such as those over supersolvable groups. We build on this to design deterministic algorithms to find the hidden subgroup for all abelian and some non-abelian instances, at the cost of a $\log m$ multiplicative factor increase in the query complexity.

• Clustering with Non-adaptive Subset Queries [16.662507957069813]
  Given a query $S subset U$, $|S|=2$, the oracle returns yes if the points are in the same cluster and no otherwise. For adaptive algorithms with pair-wise queries, the number of required queries is known to be $Theta(nk)$. Non-adaptive schemes require $Omega(n2)$ queries, which matches the trivial $O(n2)$ upper bound attained by querying every pair of points.

A clustering is then called individually fair if it has centers within distance $delta(x)$ of $x$ for each $xin P$. We show empirically that not only is our algorithm much faster than prior work, but it also produces lower-cost solutions.

  We study the fundamental open question of finding the optimal high-order algorithm for solving smooth convex minimization problems. The reason for this is that these algorithms require performing a complex binary procedure, which makes them neither optimal nor practical. We fix this fundamental issue by providing the first algorithm with $mathcalOleft(epsilon-2/(p+1)right) $pth order oracle complexity.
