A recent work shows how we can optimize a tree based mode of operation for a hash function where the sizes of input message blocks and digest are the same, subject to the constraint that the involved tree structure has all its leaves at the…
In this work we extend the concept of out/in-branchings spanning the vertices of a digraph (also called directed spanning trees) to temporal graphs, which are digraphs where arcs are available only at prescribed times. While the literature…
Given a graph of which the n vertices form a regular two-dimensional grid, and in which each (possibly weighted and/or directed) edge connects a vertex to one of its eight neighbours, the following can be done in O(scan(n)) I/Os, provided M…
We present an optimal partially-persistent external-memory search tree with amortized I/O bounds matching those achieved by the non-persistent $B^{\varepsilon}$-tree by Brodal and Fagerberg [SODA 2003]. In a partially-persistent data…
In practice, deep neural networks are often able to easily interpolate their training data. To understand this phenomenon, many works have aimed to quantify the memorization capacity of a neural network architecture: the largest number of…
An external memory data structure is presented for maintaining a dynamic set of $N$ two-dimensional points under the insertion and deletion of points, and supporting 3-sided range reporting queries and top-$k$ queries, where top-$k$ queries…
In this paper we describe a fully-dynamic data structure for the planar point location problem in the external memory model. Our data structure supports queries in $O(\log_B n(\log\log_B n)^3))$ I/Os and updates in $O(\log_B n(\log\log_B…
We show optimal lower bounds for spanning forest computation in two different models: * One wants a data structure for fully dynamic spanning forest in which updates can insert or delete edges amongst a base set of $n$ vertices. The sole…
We study the NP-hard problem of approximating a Minimum Routing Cost Spanning Tree in the message passing model with limited bandwidth (CONGEST model). In this problem one tries to find a spanning tree of a graph $G$ over $n$ nodes that…
Consider a team of $k \leq n$ autonomous mobile robots initially placed at a node of an arbitrary graph $G$ with $n$ nodes. The dispersion problem asks for a distributed algorithm that allows the robots to reach a configuration in which…
We consider the dictionary problem in external memory and improve the update time of the well-known buffer tree by roughly a logarithmic factor. For any \lambda >= max {lg lg n, log_{M/B} (n/B)}, we can support updates in time O(\lambda /…
The Burrows Wheeler transform has applications in data compression as well as full text indexing. Despite its important applications and various existing algorithmic approaches the construction of the transform for large data sets is still…
We propose new succinct representations of ordinal trees, which have been studied extensively. It is known that any $n$-node static tree can be represented in $2n + o(n)$ bits and a number of operations on the tree can be supported in…
Consider the computations at a node in a message passing algorithm. Assume that the node has incoming and outgoing messages $\mathbf{x} = (x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n)$ and $\mathbf{y} = (y_1, y_2, \ldots, y_n)$, respectively. In this paper, we…
We resolve the question of optimality for a well-studied packetized implementation of random linear network coding, called PNC. In PNC, in contrast to the classical memoryless setting, nodes store received information in memory to later…
In the classical balls-and-bins paradigm, where $n$ balls are placed independently and uniformly in $n$ bins, typically the number of bins with at least two balls in them is $\Theta(n)$ and the maximum number of balls in a bin is…
One of the biggest open problems in external memory data structures is the priority queue problem with DecreaseKey operations. If only Insert and ExtractMin operations need to be supported, one can design a comparison-based priority queue…
Recent research in the field of machine learning has increasingly focused on the memorization capacity of Transformers, but how efficient they are is not yet well understood. We demonstrate that Transformers can memorize labels with…
In this work, we consider the problem of placing replicas in a data center or storage area network, represented as a digraph, so as to lexico-minimize a previously proposed reliability measure which minimizes the impact of all failure…
Write-optimized dictionaries are a class of cache-efficient data structures that buffer updates and apply them in batches to optimize the amortized cache misses per update. For example, a B^epsilon tree inserts updates as messages at the…
