A level-ancestor or LA query about a rooted tree $T$ takes as arguments a node $v$ in $T$, of depth $d_v$, say, and an integer $d$ with $0\le d\le d_v$ and returns the ancestor of $v$ in $T$ of depth $d$. The static LA problem is to process…
A Level Ancestory query LA($u$, $d$) asks for the the ancestor of the node $u$ at a depth $d$. We present a simple solution, which pre-processes the tree in $O(n)$ time with $O(n)$ extra space, and answers the queries in $O(\log\ {n})$…
Suppose that a rooted tree T is given for preprocessing. The Level-Ancestor Problem is to answer quickly queries of the following form. Given a vertex v and an integer i > 0, find the i-th vertex on the path from the root to v. Algorithms…
This note describes a very simple O(1) query time algorithm for finding level ancestors. This is basically a serial (re)-implementation of the parallel algorithm of Berkman and Vishkin (O.Berkman and U.Vishkin, Finding level-ancestors in…
The weighted ancestor problem on a rooted node-weighted tree $T$ is a generalization of the classic predecessor problem: construct a data structure for a set of integers that supports fast predecessor queries. Both problems are known to…
The weighted ancestor problem is a well-known generalization of the predecessor problem to trees. It is known to require $\Omega(\log\log n)$ time for queries provided $O(n\mathop{\mathrm{polylog}} n)$ space is available and weights are…
The classical, ubiquitous, predecessor problem is to construct a data structure for a set of integers that supports fast predecessor queries. Its generalization to weighted trees, a.k.a. the weighted ancestor problem, has been extensively…
We study leaf-to-ancestor path-minimum queries on a rooted, weighted tree in the oracle model, where the only allowed value operation is a comparison oracle on edge (or node) weights. We give a static data structure that, after O(n log h)…
Understanding how the time-complexity of evolutionary algorithms (EAs) depend on their parameter settings and characteristics of fitness landscapes is a fundamental problem in evolutionary computation. Most rigorous results were derived…
We consider an ordinal tree $T$ on $n$ nodes, with each node assigned a $d$-dimensional weight vector $\pnt{w} \in \{1,2,\ldots,n\}^d,$ where $d \in \mathbb{N}$ is a constant. We study path queries as generalizations of well-known…
Although application examples of multilevel optimization have already been discussed since the 1990s, the development of solution methods was almost limited to bilevel cases due to the difficulty of the problem. In recent years, in machine…
The Steiner Tree Problem (STP) in graphs is an important problem with various applications in many areas such as design of integrated circuits, evolution theory, networking, etc. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to solve the STP. The…
For k>=1, we consider the graph dynamical system known as a k-reversible process. In such process, each vertex in the graph has one of two possible states at each discrete time. Each vertex changes its state between the present time and the…
An L(2,1)-labeling of a graph $G$ is an assignment $f$ from the vertex set $V(G)$ to the set of nonnegative integers such that $|f(x)-f(y)|\ge 2$ if $x$ and $y$ are adjacent and $|f(x)-f(y)|\ge 1$ if $x$ and $y$ are at distance 2, for all…
Connections between nodes in optical networks are realized by lightpaths. Due to the decay of the signal, a regenerator has to be placed on every lightpath after at most $d$ hops, for some given positive integer $d$. A regenerator can serve…
In this paper, we propose DeepTree, a novel method for modeling trees based on learning developmental rules for branching structures instead of manually defining them. We call our deep neural model situated latent because its behavior is…
We consider tensors in the Hierarchical Tucker format and suppose the tensor data to be distributed among several compute nodes. We assume the compute nodes to be in a one-to-one correspondence with the nodes of the Hierarchical Tucker…
An evolutionary tree is a rooted tree where each internal vertex has at least two children and where the leaves are labeled with distinct symbols representing species. Evolutionary trees are useful for modeling the evolutionary history of…
In this paper, we study the maximum matching problem in RDV graphs, i.e., graphs that are vertex-intersection graphs of downward paths in a rooted tree. We show that this problem can be reduced to a problem of testing (repeatedly) whether a…
We develop a new technique for proving cell-probe lower bounds for static data structures. Previous lower bounds used a reduction to communication games, which was known not to be tight by counting arguments. We give the first lower bound…
