Given an array A containing arbitrary (positive and negative) numbers, we consider the problem of supporting range maximum-sum segment queries on A: i.e., given an arbitrary range [i,j], return the subrange [i' ,j' ] \subseteq [i,j] such…

We consider a range-search variant of the closest-pair problem. Let $\varGamma$ be a fixed shape in the plane. We are interested in storing a given set of $n$ points in the plane in some data structure such that for any specified translate…

Let ${\cal{D}}$ = $\{d_1, d_2, d_3, ..., d_D\}$ be a given set of $D$ (string) documents of total length $n$. The top-$k$ document retrieval problem is to index $\cal{D}$ such that when a pattern $P$ of length $p$, and a parameter $k$ come…

Optimal 3-way comparison search trees (3WCST's) can be computed using standard dynamic programming in time O(n^3), and this can be further improved to O(n^2) by taking advantage of the Monge property. In contrast, the fastest algorithm in…

In this paper we are interested in indexing texts for substring matching queries with one edit error. That is, given a text $T$ of $n$ characters over an alphabet of size $\sigma$, we are asked to build a data structure that answers the…

We give a simplified and improved lower bound for the simplex range reporting problem. We show that given a set $P$ of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, any data structure that uses $S(n)$ space to answer such queries must have…

Computing the simulation preorder of a given Kripke structure (i.e., a directed graph with $n$ labeled vertices) has crucial applications in model checking of temporal logic. It amounts to solving a specific two-players reachability game,…

This paper presents a general technique for optimally transforming any dynamic data structure that operates on atomic and indivisible keys by constant-time comparisons, into a data structure that handles unbounded-length keys whose…

We consider several types of internal queries, that is, questions about fragments of a given text $T$ specified in constant space by their locations in $T$. Our main result is an optimal data structure for Internal Pattern Matching (IPM)…

We suggest a method for holding a dictionary data structure, which maps keys to values, in the spirit of Bloom Filters. The space requirements of the dictionary we suggest are much smaller than those of a hashtable. We allow storing n keys,…

Let {\alpha} be the maximal value such that the product of an n x n^{\alpha} matrix by an n^{\alpha} x n matrix can be computed with n^{2+o(1)} arithmetic operations. In this paper we show that \alpha>0.30298, which improves the previous…

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;…

We consider a monotone submodular maximization problem whose constraint is described by a logic formula on a graph. Formally, we prove the following three `algorithmic metatheorems.' (1) If the constraint is specified by a monadic…

Given an array of distinct integers $A[1\ldots n]$, the Range Minimum Query (RMQ) problem requires us to construct a data structure from $A$, supporting the RMQ query: given an interval $[a,b]\subseteq[1,n]$, return the index of the minimum…

Time series are ubiquitous in domains ranging from medicine to marketing and finance. Frequent Pattern Mining (FPM) from a time series has thus received much attention. Recently, it has been studied under the order-preserving (OP) matching…

Sublinear time algorithms for approximating maximum matching size have long been studied. Much of the progress over the last two decades on this problem has been on the algorithmic side. For instance, an algorithm of Behnezhad [FOCS'21]…

Given two strings $S$ and $P$, the Episode Matching problem is to find the shortest substring of $S$ that contains $P$ as a subsequence. The best known upper bound for this problem is $\tilde O(nm)$ by Das et al. (1997) , where $n,m$ are…

In this paper, we study the static cell probe complexity of non-adaptive data structures that maintain a subset of $n$ points from a universe consisting of $m=n^{1+\Omega(1)}$ points. A data structure is defined to be non-adaptive when the…
