It is shown that a breadth-first search in a directed or undirected graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges can be carried out in $O(n+m)$ time with $n\log_2 3+O((\log n)^2)$ bits of working memory.
This paper proposes an arc-search interior-point algorithm for the nonlinear constrained optimization problem. The proposed algorithm uses the second-order derivatives to construct a search arc that approaches the optimizer. Because the arc…
Given a set of points $P$ and axis-aligned rectangles $\mathcal{R}$ in the plane, a point $p \in P$ is called \emph{exposed} if it lies outside all rectangles in $\mathcal{R}$. In the \emph{max-exposure problem}, given an integer parameter…

We consider the problem of sorting $n$ elements subject to persistent random comparison errors. In this problem, each comparison between two elements can be wrong with some fixed (small) probability $p$, and comparing the same pair of…
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…

We present an optimal data structure for submatrix maximum queries in n x n Monge matrices. Our result is a two-way reduction showing that the problem is equivalent to the classical predecessor problem in a universe of polynomial size. This…
Continuing the recent trend, in this article we design several space-efficient algorithms for two well-known graph search methods. Both these search methods share the same name {\it breadth-depth search} (henceforth {\sf BDS}), although…
Let S be a finite, ordered alphabet, and let x = x_1 x_2 ... x_n be a string over S. A "secondary index" for x answers alphabet range queries of the form: Given a range [a_l,a_r] over S, return the set I_{[a_l;a_r]} = {i |x_i \in [a_l;…
Modern day computing increasingly relies on specialization to satiate growing performance and efficiency requirements. A core challenge in designing such specialized hardware architectures is how to perform mapping space search, i.e.,…
The sorting operation is one of the most commonly used building blocks in computer programming. In machine learning, it is often used for robust statistics. However, seen as a function, it is piecewise linear and as a result includes many…
While previous work on energy-efficient algorithms focused on assumption that tasks can be assigned to any processor, we initially study the problem of task scheduling on restricted parallel processors. The objective is to minimize the…
Many parallel algorithms use at least linear auxiliary space in the size of the input to enable computations to be done independently without conflicts. Unfortunately, this extra space can be prohibitive for memory-limited machines,…
