In this paper we describe a dynamic data structure that answers one-dimensional stabbing-max queries in optimal $O(\log n/\log\log n)$ time. Our data structure uses linear space and supports insertions and deletions in $O(\log n)$ and…

Tree-based models are increasingly popular due to their ability to identify complex relationships that are beyond the scope of parametric models. Survival tree methods adapt these models to allow for the analysis of censored outcomes, which…

Let $\D = $$ \{d_1,d_2,...d_D\}$ be a given set of $D$ string documents of total length $n$, our task is to index $\D$, such that the $k$ most relevant documents for an online query pattern $P$ of length $p$ can be retrieved efficiently. We…

We study the problem of collective tree exploration in which a team of $k$ mobile agents must collectively visit all nodes of an unknown tree in as few moves as possible. The agents all start from the root and discover adjacent edges as…

We present two algorithms for dynamically maintaining a spanning forest of a graph undergoing edge insertions and deletions. Our algorithms guarantee {\em worst-case update time} and work against an adaptive adversary, meaning that an edge…

We revisit the mergeable dictionaries with shift problem, where the goal is to maintain a family of sets subject to search, split, merge, make-set, and shift operations. The search, split, and make-set operations are the usual well-known…

The Binary Jumbled String Matching problem is defined as: Given a string $s$ over $\{a,b\}$ of length $n$ and a query $(x,y)$, with $x,y$ non-negative integers, decide whether $s$ has a substring $t$ with exactly $x$ $a$'s and $y$ $b$'s.…

We use a Bayesian approach to optimally solve problems in noisy binary search. We deal with two variants: 1. Each comparison can be erroneous with some probability $1 - p$. 2. At each stage $k$ comparisons can be performed in parallel and a…

Tree path minimum query problem is a fundamental problem while processing trees, and is used widely in minimum spanning tree verification and randomized minimum spanning tree algorithms. In this paper, we study the possibility of building…
