We revisit the fundamental problem of dictionary look-up with mismatches. Given a set (dictionary) of $d$ strings of length $m$ and an integer $k$, we must preprocess it into a data structure to answer the following queries: Given a query…

Longest common extension queries (often called longest common prefix queries) constitute a fundamental building block in multiple string algorithms, for example computing runs and approximate pattern matching. We show that a sequence of $q$…

Let ${\cal{D}}$ = $\{d_1, d_2, d_3, ..., d_D\}$ be a given set of $D$ (string) documents of total length $n$. The top-$k$ document retrieval problem is to index $\cal{D}$ such that when a pattern $P$ of length $p$, and a parameter $k$ come…

A mode of a multiset $S$ is an element $a \in S$ of maximum multiplicity; that is, $a$ occurs at least as frequently as any other element in $S$. Given a list $A[1:n]$ of $n$ items, we consider the problem of constructing a data structure…

We show how to store a searchable partial-sums data structure with constant query time for a static sequence $S$ of $n$ positive integers in $o \left( \frac{\log n}{(\log \log n)^2} \right)$, in $n H_k (S) + o (n)$ bits for $k \in o \left(…

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…

In this article, we determine the amortized computational complexity of the planar dynamic convex hull problem by querying. We present a data structure that maintains a set of n points in the plane under the insertion and deletion of points…

We consider the problem of packing a family of disks "on a shelf", that is, such that each disk touches the $x$-axis from above and such that no two disks overlap. We prove that the problem of minimizing the distance between the leftmost…

Our aim is to develop dynamic data structures that support $k$-nearest neighbors ($k$-NN) queries for a set of $n$ point sites in the plane in $O(f(n) + k)$ time, where $f(n)$ is some polylogarithmic function of $n$. The key component is a…

The skyline of a set $P$ of points ($SKY(P)$) consists of the "best" points with respect to minimization or maximization of the attribute values. A point $p$ dominates another point $q$ if $p$ is as good as $q$ in all dimensions and it is…

Let $G$ be a (possibly disconnected) planar subdivision and let $D$ be a probability measure over $\R^2$. The current paper shows how to preprocess $(G,D)$ into an O(n) size data structure that can answer planar point location queries over…

We present efficient data structures for submatrix maximum queries in Monge matrices and Monge partial matrices. For $n\times n$ Monge matrices, we give a data structure that requires O(n) space and answers submatrix maximum queries in…

The random access problem for compressed strings is to build a data structure that efficiently supports accessing the character in position $i$ of a string given in compressed form. Given a grammar of size $n$ compressing a string of size…

Let R^d -> A be a query problem over R^d for which there exists a data structure S that can compute P(q) in O(log n) time for any query point q in R^d. Let D be a probability measure over R^d representing a distribution of queries. We…

In this paper we study two geometric data structure problems in the special case when input objects or queries are fat rectangles. We show that in this case a significant improvement compared to the general case can be achieved. We describe…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ colored points. We develop efficient data structures that store $P$ and can answer chromatic $k$-nearest neighbor ($k$-NN) queries. Such a query consists of a query point $q$ and a number $k$, and asks for the color…

It is shown that for a given ordered node-labelled tree of size $n$ and with $s$ many different node labels, one can construct in linear time a top dag of height $O(\log n)$ and size $O(n / \log_\sigma n) \cap O(d \cdot \log n)$, where…

We present efficient data structures for approximate nearest neighbor searching and approximate 2-point shortest path queries in a two-dimensional polygonal domain $P$ with $n$ vertices. Our goal is to store a dynamic set of $m$ point sites…

Repeat finding in strings has important applications in subfields such as computational biology. Surprisingly, all prior work on repeat finding did not consider the constraint on the locality of repeats. In this paper, we propose and study…

We present the first fully dynamic worst case I/O-efficient data structures that support planar orthogonal \textit{3-sided range skyline reporting queries} in $\bigO (\log_{2B^\epsilon} n + \frac{t}{B^{1-\epsilon}})$ I/Os and updates in…
