We consider the problem of exploring an unknown tree with a team of $k$ initially colocated mobile agents. Each agent has limited energy and cannot, as a result, traverse more than $B$ edges. The goal is to maximize the number of nodes…
Self-adjusting data structures are a classic approach to adapting the complexity of operations to the data access distribution. While several self-adjusting variants are known for both binary search trees and B-Trees, existing constructions…
Machine Learning Techniques, properly combined with Data Structures, have resulted in Learned Static Indexes, innovative and powerful tools that speed-up Binary Search, with the use of additional space with respect to the table being…
Counterfactual explanations are usually generated through heuristics that are sensitive to the search's initial conditions. The absence of guarantees of performance and robustness hinders trustworthiness. In this paper, we take a…
We present a new threshold phenomenon in data structure lower bounds where slightly reduced update times lead to exploding query times. Consider incremental connectivity, letting t_u be the time to insert an edge and t_q be the query time.…
Property graphs often contain tree-shaped substructures, yet they are not captured by existing proposals for graph schemas; likewise, query languages and query engines offer little-to-no native support for managing them systematically. As a…
Adaptive binary search trees are a fundamental data structure for organizing hierarchical information. Their ability to dynamically adjust to access patterns makes them particularly valuable for building responsive and efficient networked…
Many of the distributed localization algorithms are based on relaxed optimization formulations of the localization problem. These algorithms commonly rely on first-order optimization methods, and hence may require many iterations or…
The Binary Space Partitioning-Tree~(BSP-Tree) process was recently proposed as an efficient strategy for space partitioning tasks. Because it uses more than one dimension to partition the space, the BSP-Tree Process is more efficient and…
We consider the following generalization of binary search in sorted arrays to tree domains. In each step of the search, an algorithm is querying a vertex $q$, and as a reply, it receives an answer, which either states that $q$ is the…
Modern Neural Architecture Search methods have repeatedly broken state-of-the-art results for several disciplines. The super-network, a central component of many such methods, enables quick estimates of accuracy or loss statistics for any…
The dictionary matching problem is to locate occurrences of any pattern among a set of patterns in a given text. Massive data sets abound and at the same time, there are many settings in which working space is extremely limited. We…
Greedy BST (or simply Greedy) is an online self-adjusting binary search tree defined in the geometric view ([Lucas, 1988; Munro, 2000; Demaine, Harmon, Iacono, Kane, Patrascu, SODA 2009). Along with Splay trees (Sleator, Tarjan 1985),…
Full binary trees naturally represent commutative non-associative products. There are many important examples of these products: finite-precision floating-point addition and NAND gates, among others. Balance in such a tree is highly…
We present bundled references, a new building block to provide linearizable range query operations for highly concurrent lock-based linked data structures. Bundled references allow range queries to traverse a path through the data structure…
We consider an index data structure for similar strings. The generalized suffix tree can be a solution for this. The generalized suffix tree of two strings $A$ and $B$ is a compacted trie representing all suffixes in $A$ and $B$. It has…
The ordered set is one of the most important data type in both theoretical algorithm design and analysis and practical programming. In this paper we study the set operations on two ordered sets, including Union, Intersect and Difference,…
We initiate a study of a query-driven approach to designing partition trees for range-searching problems. Our model assumes that a data structure is to be built for an unknown query distribution that we can access through a sampling oracle,…
The class of self-nested trees presents remarkable compression properties because of the systematic repetition of subtrees in their structure. In this paper, we provide a better combinatorial characterization of this specific family of…
Levin Tree Search (LTS) (Orseau et al., 2018) is a search algorithm for deterministic environments that uses a user-specified policy to guide the search. It comes with a formal guarantee on the number of search steps (node visits) for…
