In the semialgebraic range searching problem, we are to preprocess $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ s.t. for any query range from a family of constant complexity semialgebraic sets, all the points intersecting the range can be reported or…
In this work, we study the limits of compressed data structures, i.e., structures that support various queries on an input text $T\in\Sigma^n$ using space proportional to the size of $T$ in compressed form. Nearly all fundamental queries…
We present a version of the sieve of Eratosthenes that can factor all integers $\le x$ in $O(x \log\log x)$ arithmetic operations using at most $O(\sqrt{x}/\log\log x)$ bits of space. This is an improved space bound under the condition that…
We present a dynamic self-balancing octree data structure that enables efficient neighborhood maintenance in evolving metric spaces, a key challenge in modern machine learning systems. Many learning and generative models operate as…
The retrieval problem is the problem of associating data with keys in a set. Formally, the data structure must store a function f: U ->{0,1}^r that has specified values on the elements of a given set S, a subset of U, |S|=n, but may have…
In this paper, we first consider the subpath convex hull query problem: Given a simple path $\pi$ of $n$ vertices, preprocess it so that the convex hull of any query subpath of $\pi$ can be quickly obtained. Previously, Guibas, Hershberger,…
Chan [JACM, 2010] gave a data structure for maintaining the convex hull of a dynamic set of 3D points under insertions and deletions, supporting extreme-point queries. Subsequent refinements by Kaplan, Mulzer, Roditty, Seiferth, and Sharir…
We present a framework for designing efficient distributed data structures for multi-dimensional data. Our structures, which we call skip-webs, extend and improve previous randomized distributed data structures, including skipnets and skip…
We improve the running times of $O(1)$-approximation algorithms for the set cover problem in geometric settings, specifically, covering points by disks in the plane, or covering points by halfspaces in three dimensions. In the unweighted…
Let $\kappa(s,t)$ denote the maximum number of internally disjoint $st$-paths in an undirected graph $G$. We consider designing a compact data structure that answers $k$-bounded node connectivity queries: given $s,t \in V$ return…
An optimal index solving top-k document retrieval [Navarro and Nekrich, SODA12] takes O(m + k) time for a pattern of length m, but its space is at least 80n bytes for a collection of n symbols. We reduce it to 1.5n to 3n bytes, with…
We describe a data structure, called a priority range tree, which accommodates fast orthogonal range reporting queries on prioritized points. Let $S$ be a set of $n$ points in the plane, where each point $p$ in $S$ is assigned a weight…
Distance oracles are data structures that provide fast (possibly approximate) answers to shortest-path and distance queries in graphs. The tradeoff between the space requirements and the query time of distance oracles is of particular…
Big data, encompassing extensive datasets, has seen rapid expansion, notably with a considerable portion being textual data, including strings and texts. Simple compression methods and standard data structures prove inadequate for…
A classical problem in computational geometry and graph algorithms is: given a dynamic set S of geometric shapes in the plane, efficiently maintain the connectivity of the intersection graph of S. Previous papers studied the setting where,…
Let $A$ be a static array storing $n$ elements from a totally ordered set. We present a data structure of optimal size at most $n\log_2(3+2\sqrt{2})+o(n)$ bits that allows us to answer the following queries on $A$ in constant time, without…
A central task in string processing is text indexing, where the goal is to preprocess a text (a string of length $n$) into an efficient index (a data structure) supporting queries about the text. Cole, Gottlieb, and Lewenstein (STOC 2004)…
We prove that given a discrete space with $n$ points which is either embedded in a system of $k$ trees, or the Cartesian product of $k$ trees, we can compute all eccentricities in ${\cal O}(2^{{\cal O}(k\log{k})}(N+n)^{1+o(1)})$ time, where…
We consider the popular $k$-means problem in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space. Recently Friggstad, Rezapour, Salavatipour [FOCS'16] and Cohen-Addad, Klein, Mathieu [FOCS'16] showed that the standard local search algorithm yields a…
Let $\mathcal{P}$ be the surface of a convex polyhedron with $n$ vertices. We consider the two-point shortest path query problem for $\mathcal{P}$: Constructing a data structure so that given any two query points $s$ and $t$ on…
