Let S be a finite, ordered alphabet, and let x = x_1 x_2 ... x_n be a string over S. A "secondary index" for x answers alphabet range queries of the form: Given a range [a_l,a_r] over S, return the set I_{[a_l;a_r]} = {i |x_i \in [a_l;…
Given two point sets $R$ and $B$ in the plane, with cardinalities $m$ and $n$, respectively, and each set stored in a separate R-tree, we present an algorithm to decide whether $R$ and $B$ are linearly separable. Our algorithm exploits the…
In this paper we describe a dynamic external memory data structure that supports range reporting queries in three dimensions in $O(\log_B^2 N + \frac{k}{B})$ I/O operations, where $k$ is the number of points in the answer and $B$ is the…
Priority queues are fundamental data structures with widespread applications in various domains, including graph algorithms and network simulations. Their performance critically impacts the overall efficiency of these algorithms.…
It is widely assumed that $O(m+\lg \sigma)$ is the best one can do for finding a pattern of length $m$ in a compacted trie storing strings over an alphabet of size $\sigma$, if one insists on linear-size data structures and deterministic…
Sparse decision tree learning provides accurate and interpretable predictive models that are ideal for high-stakes applications by finding the single most accurate tree within a (soft) size limit. Rather than relying on a single "best"…
We present two algorithms for dynamically maintaining a spanning forest of a graph undergoing edge insertions and deletions. Our algorithms guarantee {\em worst-case update time} and work against an adaptive adversary, meaning that an edge…
We present time-space trade-offs for computing the Euclidean minimum spanning tree of a set $S$ of $n$ point-sites in the plane. More precisely, we assume that $S$ resides in a random-access memory that can only be read. The edges of the…
Indexes are models: a B-Tree-Index can be seen as a model to map a key to the position of a record within a sorted array, a Hash-Index as a model to map a key to a position of a record within an unsorted array, and a BitMap-Index as a model…
We present a general transformation for combining a constant number of binary search tree data structures (BSTs) into a single BST whose running time is within a constant factor of the minimum of any "well-behaved" bound on the running time…
The need for scalable concurrent ordered set data structures with linearizable range query support is increasing due to the rise of multicore computers, data processing platforms and in-memory databases. This paper presents a new concurrent…
Decision trees are one of the most useful and popular methods in the machine learning toolbox. In this paper, we consider the problem of learning optimal decision trees, a combinatorial optimization problem that is challenging to solve at…
Maintaining an archive of all non-dominated points is a standard task in multi-objective optimization. Sometimes it is sufficient to store all evaluated points and to obtain the non-dominated subset in a post-processing step. Alternatively…
The task of accumulating a portion of a list of values, whose values may be updated at any time, is widely used throughout various applications in computer science. While it is trivial to accomplish this task without any constraints,…
The performance of a dynamic dictionary is measured mainly by its update time, lookup time, and space consumption. In terms of update time and lookup time there are known constructions that guarantee constant-time operations in the worst…
Planning under resource constraints is central to real-world decision making, yet most large language model (LLM) planners assume uniform action costs. We systematically analyze whether tree-search LLM planners are cost-aware and whether…
The task of finding heavy hitters is one of the best known and well studied problems in the area of data streams. One is given a list $i_1,i_2,\ldots,i_m\in[n]$ and the goal is to identify the items among $[n]$ that appear frequently in the…
The dynamic trees problem is to maintain a forest undergoing edge insertions and deletions while supporting queries for information such as connectivity. There are many existing data structures for this problem, but few of them are capable…
A \emph{resizable array} is an array that can \emph{grow} and \emph{shrink} by the addition or removal of items from its end, or both its ends, while still supporting constant-time \emph{access} to each item stored in the array given its…
