We give an algorithm to morph planar graph drawings that achieves small grid size at the expense of allowing a constant number of bends on each edge. The input is an $n$-vertex planar graph and two planar straight-line drawings of the graph…
We consider the problem of detecting change-points in univariate time series by fitting a continuous piecewise linear signal using the residual sum of squares. Values of the inferred signal at slope breaks are restricted to a finite set of…
We present new data structures for approximately counting the number of points in orthogonal range. There is a deterministic linear space data structure that supports updates in O(1) time and approximates the number of elements in a 1-D…
We present an on-line algorithm for maintaining a topological order of a directed acyclic graph as arcs are added, and detecting a cycle when one is created. Our algorithm takes O(m^{1/2}) amortized time per arc, where m is the total number…
Two characteristics that make convex decomposition algorithms attractive are simplicity of operations and generation of parallelizable structures. In principle, these schemes require that all coordinates update at the same time, i.e., they…

The Outerplanar Diameter Improvement problem asks, given a graph $G$ and an integer $D$, whether it is possible to add edges to $G$ in a way that the resulting graph is outerplanar and has diameter at most $D$. We provide a dynamic…

This paper introduces a Delaunay triangulation algorithm based on the external incremental method. Unlike traditional random incremental methods, this approach uses convex hull and points as basic operational units instead of triangles.…
Coordinate descent methods employ random partial updates of decision variables in order to solve huge-scale convex optimization problems. In this work, we introduce new adaptive rules for the random selection of their updates. By adaptive,…
We consider the minimization of a sum of an expectation-valued coordinate-wise $L_i$-smooth nonconvex function and a nonsmooth block-separable convex regularizer. We propose an asynchronous variance-reduced algorithm, where in each…
Most of the literature on spanners focuses on building the graph from scratch. This paper instead focuses on adding edges to improve an existing graph. A major open problem in this field is: given a graph embedded in a metric space, and a…
It is shown how to enhance any data structure in the pointer model to make it confluently persistent, with efficient query and update times and limited space overhead. Updates are performed in $O(\log n)$ amortized time, and following a…
In this note, we consider the complexity of maintaining the longest increasing subsequence (LIS) of an array under (i) inserting an element, and (ii) deleting an element of an array. We show that no algorithm can support queries and updates…
A geometric graph associated with a set of points $P= \{x_1, x_2, \cdots, x_n \} \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ and a fixed kernel function $\mathsf{K}:\mathbb{R}^d\times \mathbb{R}^d\to\mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}$ is a complete graph on $P$ such that the…
We study dynamic algorithms for the longest increasing subsequence (\textsf{LIS}) problem. A dynamic \textsf{LIS} algorithm maintains a sequence subject to operations of the following form arriving one by one: (i) insert an element, (ii)…
In this paper, we build on recent work using a mathematical programming approach for incremental state update in analysis of non-linear mechanics models. In particular, we consider quasi-static analysis of continuum problems in the…

Truss decomposition is a method used to analyze large sparse graphs in order to identify successively better connected subgraphs. Since in many domains the underlying graph changes over time, its associated truss decomposition needs to be…
