We introduce exponential search trees as a novel technique for converting static polynomial space search structures for ordered sets into fully-dynamic linear space data structures. This leads to an optimal bound of O(sqrt(log n/loglog n))…

In this paper, we have developed a fully-dynamic algorithm for maintaining cardinality of maximum-matching in a tree using the construction of top-trees. The time complexities are as follows: 1. Initialization Time: $O(n(log(n)))$ to build…

We study the distributed minimum spanning tree (MST) problem, a fundamental problem in distributed computing. It is well-known that distributed MST can be solved in $\tilde{O}(D+\sqrt{n})$ rounds in the standard CONGEST model (where $n$ is…

In 1971, Knuth gave an $O(n^2)$-time algorithm for the classic problem of finding an optimal binary search tree. Knuth's algorithm works only for search trees based on 3-way comparisons, while most modern computers support only 2-way…
