We continue our program of improving the complexity of so-called Boltzmann sampling algorithms, for the exact sampling of combinatorial structures, and reach average linear-time complexity, i.e. optimality up to a multiplicative constant. Here we solve this problem for irreducible context-free structures, a broad family of structures to which the celebrated Drmota--Lalley--Woods Theorem applies. Our algorithm is a rejection algorithm. The main idea is to single out some degrees of freedom, i.e. write $p(x)=p_1(y) p_2(x|y)$, which allows to introduce a rejection factor at the level of the $y$ object, that is almost surely of order $1$.

By a map we mean a $2$-cell decomposition of a closed compact surface, i.e., an embedding of a graph such that every face is homeomorphic to an open disc. Automorphism of a map can be thought of as a permutation of the vertices which preserves the ve
rtex-edge-face incidences in the embedding. When the underlying surface is orientable, every automorphism of a map determines an angle-preserving homeomorphism of the surface. While it is conjectured that there is no truly subquadratic algorithm for testing map isomorphism for unconstrained genus, we present a linear-time algorithm for computing the generators of the automorphism group of a map, parametrized by the genus of the underlying surface. The algorithm applies a sequence of local reductions and produces a uniform map, while preserving the automorphism group. The automorphism group of the original map can be reconstructed from the automorphism group of the uniform map in linear time. We also extend the algorithm to non-orientable surfaces by making use of the antipodal double-cover.
Concurrent data structures are the data sharing side of parallel programming. Data structures give the means to the program to store data, but also provide operations to the program to access and manipulate these data. These operations are implemente
d through algorithms that have to be efficient. In the sequential setting, data structures are crucially important for the performance of the respective computation. In the parallel programming setting, their importance becomes more crucial because of the increased use of data and resource sharing for utilizing parallelism. The first and main goal of this chapter is to provide a sufficient background and intuition to help the interested reader to navigate in the complex research area of lock-free data structures. The second goal is to offer the programmer familiarity to the subject that will allow her to use truly concurrent methods.
Thompson Sampling is one of the oldest heuristics for multi-armed bandit problems. It is a randomized algorithm based on Bayesian ideas, and has recently generated significant interest after several studies demonstrated it to have better empirical pe
rformance compared to the state-of-the-art methods. However, many questions regarding its theoretical performance remained open. In this paper, we design and analyze a generalization of Thompson Sampling algorithm for the stochastic contextual multi-armed bandit problem with linear payoff functions, when the contexts are provided by an adaptive adversary. This is among the most important and widely studi
Let $G$ be a quasi-transitive, locally finite, connected graph rooted at a vertex $o$, and let $c_n(o)$ be the number of self-avoiding walks of length $n$ on $G$ starting at $o$. We show that if $G$ has only thin ends, then the generating function $F
_{mathrm{SAW},o}(z)=sum_{n geq 0} c_n(o) z^n$ is an algebraic function. In particular, the connective constant of such a graph is an algebraic number. If $G$ is deterministically edge labelled, that is, every (directed) edge carries a label such that any two edges starting at the same vertex have different labels, then the set of all words which can be read along the edges of self-avoiding walks starting at $o$ forms a language denoted by $L_{mathrm{SAW},o}$. Assume that the group of label-preserving graph automorphisms acts quasi-transitively. We show that $L_{mathrm{SAW},o}$ is a $k$-multiple context-free language if and only if the size of all ends of $G$ is at most $2k$. Applied to Cayley graphs of finitely generated groups this says that $L_{mathrm{SAW},o}$ is multiple context-free if and only if the group is virtually free.
Ramanujan defined the polynomials $psi_{k}(r,x)$ in his study of power series inversion. Berndt, Evans and Wilson obtained a recurrence relation for $psi_{k}(r,x)$. In a different context, Shor introduced the polynomials $Q(i,j,k)$ related to imprope
r edges of a rooted tree, leading to a refinement of Cayleys formula. He also proved a recurrence relation and raised the question of finding a combinatorial proof. Zeng realized that the polynomials of Ramanujan coincide with the polynomials of Shor, and that the recurrence relation of Shor coincides with the recurrence relation of Berndt, Evans and Wilson. So we call these polynomials the Ramanujan-Shor polynomials, and call the recurrence relation the Berndt-Evans-Wilson-Shor recursion. A combinatorial proof of this recursion was obtained by Chen and Guo, and a simpler proof was recently given by Guo. From another perspective, Dumont and Ramamonjisoa found a context-free grammar $G$ to generate the number of rooted trees on $n$ vertices with $k$ improper edges. Based on the grammar $G$, we find a grammar $H$ for the Ramanujan-Shor polynomials. This leads to a formal calculus for the Ramanujan-Shor polynomials. In particular, we obtain a grammatical derivation of the Berndt-Evans-Wilson-Shor recursion. We also provide a grammatical approach to the Abel identities and a grammatical explanation of the Lacasse identity.
