The Deferred Acceptance (DA) mechanism can generate inefficient placements. Although Pareto-dominant mechanisms exist, it remains unclear which and how many students could improve. We characterize the set of unimprovable students and show…
We describe a new data structure for dynamic nearest neighbor queries in the plane with respect to a general family of distance functions. These include $L_p$-norms and additively weighted Euclidean distances. Our data structure supports…
We consider the evaluation of first-order queries over classes of databases that have bounded degree and low degree. More precisely, given a query and a database, we want to efficiently test whether there is a solution, count how many…
The reachability problem in vector addition systems is a central question, not only for the static verification of these systems, but also for many inter-reducible decision problems occurring in various fields. The currently best known…
Product search is one of the most popular methods for customers to discover products online. Most existing studies on product search focus on developing effective retrieval models that rank items by their likelihood to be purchased. They,…
Data structures that realize a dictionary are characterized by three basic instructions: (1) Insert (a new entry <key,value>). (2) Search by a key, returning the associated value. (3) Delete an entry. Known realizations are hashing schemes…
We consider labeling nodes of a directed graph for reachability queries. A reachability labeling scheme for such a graph assigns a binary string, called a label, to each node. Then, given the labels of nodes $u$ and $v$ and no other…
Graph algorithms applied in many applications, including social networks, communication networks, VLSI design, graphics, and several others, require dynamic modifications -- addition and removal of vertices and/or edges -- in the graph.…
This paper addresses the conservatism in data-driven reachability analysis for discrete-time linear systems subject to bounded process noise, where the system matrices are unknown and only input--state trajectory data are available.…
An accessibility graph of a network contains a link, wherever there is a path of arbitrary length between two nodes. We generalize the concept of accessibility to temporal networks. Building an accessibility graph by consecutively adding…
The determination of the computational complexity of multi-agent pathfinding on directed graphs (diMAPF) has been an open research problem for many years. While diMAPF has been shown to be polynomial for some special cases, only recently,…
During the last 10 years it has become popular to study dynamic graph problems in a emergency planning or sensitivity setting: Instead of considering the general fully dynamic problem, we only have to process a single batch update of size…
Many problems in static program analysis can be modeled as the context-free language (CFL) reachability problem on directed labeled graphs. The CFL reachability problem can be generally solved in time $O(n^3)$, where $n$ is the number of…
Finding the shortest path distance between an arbitrary pair of vertices is a fundamental problem in graph theory. A tremendous amount of research has been successfully attempted on this problem, most of which is limited to static graphs.…
In a landmark paper, P\v{a}tra\c{s}cu demonstrated how a single lower bound for the static data structure problem of reachability in the butterfly graph, could be used to derive a wealth of new and previous lower bounds via reductions.…
We propose a novel DEA ranking based on a robust optimization viewpoint: the higher ranking for those DMU's that remain efficient even for larger variations of data and vice versa. This ranking can be computed by solving generalized linear…
We consider data structures for graphs where we maintain a subset of the nodes called sites, and allow proximity queries, such as asking for the closest site to a query node, and update operations that enable or disable nodes as sites. We…
Reachability queries ask whether there exists a path from the source vertex to the target vertex on a graph. Recently, several powerful reachability queries, such as Label-Constrained Reachability (LCR) queries and Regular Path Queries…
Reachability analysis is a formal method to guarantee safety of dynamical systems under the influence of uncertainties. A substantial bottleneck of all reachability algorithms is the necessity to adequately tune specific algorithm…
