We study the point location problem in incremental (possibly disconnected) planar subdivisions, that is, dynamic subdivisions allowing insertions of edges and vertices only. Specifically, we present an $O(n\log n)$-space data structure for…
Given an array of distinct integers $A[1\ldots n]$, the Range Minimum Query (RMQ) problem requires us to construct a data structure from $A$, supporting the RMQ query: given an interval $[a,b]\subseteq[1,n]$, return the index of the minimum…
We consider the problem of counting straight-edge triangulations of a given set $P$ of $n$ points in the plane. Until very recently it was not known whether the exact number of triangulations of $P$ can be computed asymptotically faster…
We study range-searching for colored objects, where one has to count (approximately) the number of colors present in a query range. The problems studied mostly involve orthogonal range-searching in two and three dimensions, and the dual…
Let $P$ be a simple polygon with $n$ vertices, and let $A$ be a set of $m$ points or line segments inside $P$. We develop data structures that can efficiently count the number of objects from $A$ that are visible to a query point or a query…
In the polytope membership problem, a convex polytope $K$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is given, and the objective is to preprocess $K$ into a data structure so that, given any query point $q \in \mathbb{R}^d$, it is possible to determine efficiently…
We revisit the complexity of building, given a two-dimensional string of size $n$, an indexing structure that allows locating all $k$ occurrences of a two-dimensional pattern of size $m$. While a structure of size $\mathcal{O}(n)$ with…
We consider supervised learning problems within the positive-definite kernel framework, such as kernel ridge regression, kernel logistic regression or the support vector machine. With kernels leading to infinite-dimensional feature spaces,…
A range counting problem is specified by a set $P$ of size $|P| = n$ of points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, an integer weight $x_p$ associated to each point $p \in P$, and a range space ${\cal R} \subseteq 2^{P}$. Given a query range $R \in {\cal…
We develop quantitative algorithmic information bounds for orthogonal projections and distances in the plane. Under mild independence conditions, the distance $|x-y|$ and a projection coordinate $p_e x$ each retain at least half the…
We prove that given a discrete space with $n$ points which is either embedded in a system of $k$ trees, or the Cartesian product of $k$ trees, we can compute all eccentricities in ${\cal O}(2^{{\cal O}(k\log{k})}(N+n)^{1+o(1)})$ time, where…
Recently, motivated by the rapid increase of the data size in various applications, Monemizadeh [APPROX'23] and Driemel, Monemizadeh, Oh, Staals, and Woodruff [SoCG'25] studied geometric problems in the setting where the only access to the…
Orthogonal arrays play a fundamental role in many applications. However, constructing orthogonal arrays with the required parameters for an application usually is extremely difficult and, sometimes, even impossible. Hence there is an…
We show that a large fraction of the data-structure lower bounds known today in fact follow by reduction from the communication complexity of lopsided (asymmetric) set disjointness. This includes lower bounds for: * high-dimensional…
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…
The sparse regression problem, also known as best subset selection problem, can be cast as follows: Given a set $S$ of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, a point $y\in \mathbb{R}^d$, and an integer $2 \leq k \leq d$, find an affine combination…
We provide a static data structure for distance estimation which supports {\it adaptive} queries. Concretely, given a dataset $X = \{x_i\}_{i = 1}^n$ of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and $0 < p \leq 2$, we construct a randomized data…
This study presents a novel algorithm for identifying the set of extreme points that constitute the exact convex hull of a point set in high-dimensional Euclidean space. The proposed method iteratively solves a sequence of dynamically…
We improve the running times of $O(1)$-approximation algorithms for the set cover problem in geometric settings, specifically, covering points by disks in the plane, or covering points by halfspaces in three dimensions. In the unweighted…
Quantum computing is a popular topic in computer science, which has recently attracted many studies in various areas such as machine learning and network. However, the topic of quantum data structures seems neglected. There is an open…
