Finding monotone patterns

We investigate sublinear algorithms for detecting monotone patterns in a sequence. For fixed k, given a sequence of length n, we would like to find (with high probability) an increasing subsequence of length k, provided that the sequence is far from free of such subsequences. We determine the optimal running time of an algorithm that performs this task, for both the non-adaptive and adaptive cases, thus extending well-known results regarding monotonicity testing, and improving on results of Newman, Rabinovich, Rubinfeld and Sohler (2017). This is joint work with Omri Ben-Eliezer, Clément Canonne and Erik Waingarten.
