The Fibonacci heap is a classic data structure that supports deletions in logarithmic amortized time and all other heap operations in O(1) amortized time. We explore the design space of this data structure. We propose a version with the…
In this document, some elements of the theory and algorithmics corresponding to the existence and computability of approximate joint eigenpairs for finite collections of matrices with applications to model order reduction, are presented.…
We present a new threshold phenomenon in data structure lower bounds where slightly reduced update times lead to exploding query times. Consider incremental connectivity, letting t_u be the time to insert an edge and t_q be the query time.…
The problem of scheduling non-simultaneously released jobs with due dates on a single machine with the objective to minimize the maximum job lateness is known to be strongly NP-hard. Here we consider an extended model in which the…
This paper introduces a reduced order modeling technique based on Koopman operator theory that gives confidence bounds on the model's predictions. It is based on a data-driven spectral decomposition of the Koopman operator. The reduced…
A priority queue is a fundamental data structure that maintains a dynamic set of (key, priority)-pairs and supports Insert, Delete, ExtractMin and DecreaseKey operations. In the external memory model, the current best priority queue…
We study the problem of optimizing assortment decisions in the presence of product-specific costs when customers choose according to a multinomial logit model. This problem is NP-hard and approximate solutions methods have been proposed in…
The working-set bound [Sleator and Tarjan, J. ACM, 1985] roughly states that searching for an element is fast if the element was accessed recently. Binary search trees, such as splay trees, can achieve this property in the amortized sense,…
The list-labeling problem captures the basic task of storing a dynamically changing set of up to $n$ elements in sorted order in an array of size $m = (1 + \Theta(1))n$. The goal is to support insertions and deletions while moving around…
We present a new connection between self-adjusting binary search trees (BSTs) and heaps, two fundamental, extensively studied, and practically relevant families of data structures. Roughly speaking, we map an arbitrary heap algorithm within…
Linear-probing hash tables have been classically believed to support insertions in time $\Theta(x^2)$, where $1 - 1/x$ is the load factor of the hash table. Recent work by Bender, Kuszmaul, and Kuszmaul (FOCS'21), however, has added a new…
Naively storing a counter up to value $n$ would require $\Omega(\log n)$ bits of memory. Nelson and Yu [NY22], following work of [Morris78], showed that if the query answers need only be $(1+\epsilon)$-approximate with probability at least…
In this paper, we study the fundamental open question of finding the optimal high-order algorithm for solving smooth convex minimization problems. Arjevani et al. (2019) established the lower bound $\Omega\left(\epsilon^{-2/(3p+1)}\right)$…
In this work we present an extension of the technique of the order reduction to higher perturbative approximations in an iterative fashion. The intention is also to analyze more carefully the conditions for the validity of the order…
Random hashing is a standard method to balance loads among nodes in Peer-to-Peer networks. However, hashing destroys locality properties of object keys, the critical properties to many applications, more specifically, those that require…
We consider single-source shortest path algorithms that perform a sequence of relaxation steps whose ordering depends only on the input graph structure and not on its weights or the results of prior steps. Each step examines one edge of the…
The heap is a basic data structure used in a wide variety of applications, including shortest path and minimum spanning tree algorithms. In this paper we explore the design space of comparison-based, amortized-efficient heap…
Enumeration algorithms have been one of recent hot topics in theoretical computer science. Different from other problems, enumeration has many interesting aspects, such as the computation time can be shorter than the total output size, by…
We introduce the hollow heap, a very simple data structure with the same amortized efficiency as the classical Fibonacci heap. All heap operations except delete and delete-min take $O(1)$ time, worst case as well as amortized; delete and…
First order methods endowed with global convergence guarantees operate using global lower bounds on the objective. The tightening of the bounds has been shown to increase both the theoretical guarantees and the practical performance. In…
