This paper begins by extending the notion of a combinatorial configuration of points and lines to a combinatorial configuration of points and planes that we refer to as configurations of order $2$. We then proceed to investigate a further…

We present subquadratic algorithms in the algebraic decision-tree model for several \textsc{3Sum}-hard geometric problems, all of which can be reduced to the following question: Given two sets $A$, $B$, each consisting of $n$ pairwise…

Given in the plane a set of points and a set of halfplanes, we consider the problem of computing a smallest subset of halfplanes whose union covers all points. In this paper, we present an $O(n^{4/3}\log^{5/3}n\log^{O(1)}\log n)$-time…

We propose to design data structures called succinct geometric indexes of negligible space (more precisely, o(n) bits) that, by taking advantage of the n points in the data set permuted and stored elsewhere as a sequence, to support…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ labeled points in the plane. The radial system of $P$ describes, for each $p\in P$, the order in which a ray that rotates around $p$ encounters the points in $P \setminus \{p\}$. This notion is related to the order…

We reexamine fundamental problems from computational geometry in the word RAM model, where input coordinates are integers that fit in a machine word. We develop a new algorithm for offline point location, a two-dimensional analog of sorting…

The theory of quantum algorithms promises unprecedented benefits of harnessing the laws of quantum mechanics for solving certain computational problems. A persistent obstacle to using such algorithms for solving a wide range of real-world…

We construct quantum circuits which exactly encode the spectra of correlated electron models up to errors from rotation synthesis. By invoking these circuits as oracles within the recently introduced "qubitization" framework, one can use…

In this paper, we study the many-to-many matching problem on planar point sets with integer coordinates: Given two disjoint sets $R,B \subset [\Delta]^2$ with $|R|+|B|=n$, the goal is to select a set of edges between $R$ and $B$ so that…

The most general method for encoding quantum information is not to encode the information into a subspace of a Hilbert space, but to encode information into a subsystem of a Hilbert space. Recently this notion has led to a more general…

We show that any embedding of a planar graph can be encoded succinctly while efficiently answering a number of topological queries near-optimally. More precisely, we build on a succinct representation that encodes an embedding of $m$ edges…

Attentional mechanisms are order-invariant. Positional encoding is a crucial component to allow attention-based deep model architectures such as Transformer to address sequences or images where the position of information matters. In this…
