We consider a range-search variant of the closest-pair problem. Let $\varGamma$ be a fixed shape in the plane. We are interested in storing a given set of $n$ points in the plane in some data structure such that for any specified translate…
We consider the problem of designing a succinct data structure for {\it path graphs} (which are a proper subclass of chordal graphs and a proper superclass of interval graphs) on $n$ vertices while supporting degree, adjacency, and…
The problem of designing connectivity oracles supporting vertex failures is one of the basic data structures problems for undirected graphs. It is already well understood: previous works [Duan--Pettie STOC'10; Long--Saranurak FOCS'22]…
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…
Let $s$ be a point in a polygonal domain $\mathcal{P}$ of $h-1$ holes and $n$ vertices. We consider a quickest visibility query problem. Given a query point $q$ in $\mathcal{P}$, the goal is to find a shortest path in $\mathcal{P}$ to move…
We study a convex resource allocation problem in which lower and upper bounds are imposed on partial sums of allocations. This model is linked to a large range of applications, including production planning, speed optimization, stratified…

For a text given in advance, the substring minimal suffix queries ask to determine the lexicographically minimal non-empty suffix of a substring specified by the location of its occurrence in the text. We develop a data structure answering…
In this paper, we propose the Ordered Median Tree Location Problem (OMT). The OMT is a single-allocation facility location problem where p facilities must be placed on a network connected by a non-directed tree. The objective is to minimize…
This paper presents a distributed O(1)-approximation algorithm, with expected-$O(\log \log n)$ running time, in the $\mathcal{CONGEST}$ model for the metric facility location problem on a size-$n$ clique network. Though metric facility…
We present a major revamp of the point-location data structure for general two-dimensional subdivisions via randomized incremental construction, implemented in CGAL, the Computational Geometry Algorithms Library. We can now guarantee that…
We study the problem of finding connected components in the Adaptive Massively Parallel Computation (AMPC) model. We show that when we require the total space to be linear in the size of the input graph the problem can be solved in…
We revisit the range minimum query problem and present a new O(n)-space data structure that supports queries in O(1) time. Although previous data structures exist whose asymptotic bounds match ours, our goal is to introduce a new solution…
We propose a new query application for the well-known Trapezoidal Search DAG (TSD) of a set of $n$~line segments in the plane, where queries are allowed to be {\em vertical line segments}. We show that a simple Depth-First Search reports…
Adaptive optimization methods are well known to achieve superior convergence relative to vanilla gradient methods. The traditional viewpoint in optimization, particularly in convex optimization, explains this improved performance by arguing…
We show an algorithm for dynamic maintenance of connectivity information in an undirected planar graph subject to edge deletions. Our algorithm may answer connectivity queries of the form `Are vertices $u$ and $v$ connected with a path?' in…
A space-time adaptive scheme is presented for solving advection equations in two space dimensions. The gradient-augmented level set method using a semi-Lagrangian formulation with backward time integration is coupled with a point value…
