Given a simple polygon $P$ with $n$ vertices, we consider the problem of constructing a data structure for visibility queries: for any query point $q \in P$, compute the visibility polygon of $q$ in $P$. To obtain $O(\log n + k)$ query…

Suffix trees are key and efficient data structure for solving string problems. A suffix tree is a compressed trie containing all the suffixes of a given text of length $n$ with a linear construction cost. In this work, we introduce an…

B-slack trees, a subclass of B-trees that have substantially better worst-case space complexity, are introduced. They store $n$ keys in height $O(\log_b n)$, where $b$ is the maximum node degree. Updates can be performed in $O(\log_{\frac b…

We present a data structure representing a dynamic set S of w-bit integers on a w-bit word RAM. With |S|=n and w > log n and space O(n), we support the following standard operations in O(log n / log w) time: - insert(x) sets S = S + {x}. -…

A fundamental problem in data management is to find the elements in an array that match a query. Recently, learned indexes are being extensively used to solve this problem, where they learn a model to predict the location of the items in…

Trees can accelerate queries that search or aggregate values over large collections. They achieve this by storing metadata that enables quick pruning (or inclusion) of subtrees when predicates on that metadata can prove that none (or all)…

For a given a graph, a distance oracle is a data structure that answers distance queries between pairs of vertices. We introduce an $O(n^{5/3})$-space distance oracle which answers exact distance queries in $O(\log n)$ time for $n$-vertex…

A tree-packing is a collection of spanning trees of a graph. It has been a useful tool for computing the minimum cut in static, dynamic, and distributed settings. In particular, [Thorup, Comb. 2007] used them to obtain his dynamic min-cut…

Answering connectivity queries is fundamental to fully dynamic graphs where edges and vertices are inserted and deleted frequently. Existing work proposes data structures and algorithms with worst-case guarantees. We propose a new data…

Engineering efficient implementations of compact and succinct structures is a time-consuming and challenging task, since there is no standard library of easy-to- use, highly optimized, and composable components. One consequence is that…

This paper describes the most efficient way to manage operations on ranges of elements within an ordered set. The goal is to improve existing solutions, by optimizing the average-case time complexity and getting rid of heavy multiplicative…

Tucker decomposition has been widely used in a variety of applications to obtain latent factors of tensor data. In these applications, a common need is to compute Tucker decomposition for a given time range. Furthermore, real-world tensor…

The Suffix Array SA(S) of a string S[1 ... n] is an array containing all the suffixes of S sorted by lexicographic order. The suffix array is one of the most well known indexing data structures, and it functions as a key tool in many string…

Tree path minimum query problem is a fundamental problem while processing trees, and is used widely in minimum spanning tree verification and randomized minimum spanning tree algorithms. In this paper, we study the possibility of building…

The structure of an evolving network contains information about its past. Extracting this information efficiently, however, is, in general, a difficult challenge. We formulate a fast and efficient method to estimate the most likely history…
