The mode of a collection of values (i.e., the most frequent value in the collection) is a key summary statistic. Finding the mode in a given range of an array of values is thus of great importance, and constructing a data structure to solve…
In this paper, we develop a new communication model to prove a data structure lower bound for the dynamic interval union problem. The problem is to maintain a multiset of intervals $\mathcal{I}$ over $[0, n]$ with integer coordinates,…
We prove essentially optimal fine-grained lower bounds on the gap between a data structure and a partially retroactive version of the same data structure. Precisely, assuming any one of three standard conjectures, we describe a problem that…

In this paper, we consider a generalized longest common subsequence problem, in which a constraining sequence of length $s$ must be included as a substring and the other constraining sequence of length $t$ must be excluded as a subsequence…
Given an array $a[1..n]$, the Range Minimum Query (RMQ) problem is to maintain a data structure that supports RMQ queries: given a range $[l, r]$, find the index of the minimum element among $a[l..r]$, i.e., $\operatorname{argmin}_{i \in…
Many constraints restricting the result of some computations over an integer sequence can be compactly represented by register automata. We improve the propagation of the conjunction of such constraints on the same sequence by synthesising…
We consider the problem of maintaining a dynamic set of integers and answering queries of the form: report a point (equivalently, all points) in a given interval. Range searching is a natural and fundamental variant of integer search, and…
We investigate the limits of one of the fundamental ideas in data structures: fractional cascading. This is an important data structure technique to speed up repeated searches for the same key in multiple lists and it has numerous…
We give a new data structure for the fully-dynamic minimum spanning forest problem in simple graphs. Edge updates are supported in $O(\log^4n/\log\log n)$ amortized time per operation, improving the $O(\log^4n)$ amortized bound of Holm et…
In this paper, we devise a novel radio resource block (RB) structure named dynamic resource block structure (D-RBS) which can handle low latency traffics and large fluctuations in data rates by exploiting smart time and frequency duplexing.…
We give a simplified and improved lower bound for the simplex range reporting problem. We show that given a set $P$ of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, any data structure that uses $S(n)$ space to answer such queries must have…
Real-world networks are prone to breakdowns. Typically in the underlying graph $G$, besides the insertion or deletion of edges, the set of active vertices changes overtime. A vertex might work actively, or it might fail, and gets isolated…
