We study connectivity problems from a fine-grained parameterized perspective. Cygan et al. (TALG 2022) obtained algorithms with single-exponential running time $\alpha^{tw} n^{O(1)}$ for connectivity problems parameterized by treewidth…

Given a string of length $n$ that is composed of $r$ runs of letters from the alphabet $\{0,1,\ldots,\sigma{-}1\}$ such that $2 \le \sigma \le r$, we describe a data structure that, provided $r \le n / \log^{\omega(1)} n$, stores the string…

We give an algorithm for finding the arboricity of a weighted, undirected graph, defined as the minimum number of spanning forests that cover all edges of the graph, in $\sqrt{n} m^{1+o(1)}$ time. This improves on the previous best bound of…

The distinguishing result of this paper is a $\mathbf{P}$-time enumerable partition of all the potential perfect matchings in a bipartite graph. This partition is a set of equivalence classes induced by the missing edges in the potential…

Under the word RAM model, we design three data structures that can be constructed in $O(n\sqrt{\lg n})$ time over $n$ points in an $n \times n$ grid. The first data structure is an $O(n\lg^{\epsilon} n)$-word structure supporting orthogonal…

Persistent cycles, especially the minimal ones, are useful geometric features functioning as augmentations for the intervals in a purely topological persistence diagram (also termed as barcode). In our earlier work, we showed that computing…

This paper shows the weighted matching problem on general graphs can be solved in time $O(n(m + n\log n))$ for $n$ and $m$ the number of vertices and edges, respectively. This was previously known only for bipartite graphs. The crux is a…

Let $\mathcal{D}$ be a collection of $D$ documents, which are strings over an alphabet of size $\sigma$, of total length $n$. We describe a data structure that uses linear space and and reports $k$ most relevant documents that contain a…

Voronoi diagrams are a fundamental geometric data structure for obtaining proximity relations. We consider collections of axis-aligned orthogonal polyhedra in two and three-dimensional space under the max-norm, which is a particularly…

The persistence diagram (PD) is an increasingly popular topological descriptor. By encoding the size and prominence of topological features at varying scales, the PD provides important geometric and topological information about a space.…

Let $\mathcal{T}$ be a set of $n$ flat (planar) semi-algebraic regions in $\mathbb{R}^3$ of constant complexity (e.g., triangles, disks), which we call plates. We wish to preprocess $\mathcal{T}$ into a data structure so that for a query…

Graphcodes were recently introduced as a technique to employ two-parameter persistence modules in machine learning tasks (Kerber and Russold, NeurIPS 2024). We show in this work that a compressed version of graphcodes yields a description…
