Finding the shortest-path distance between two arbitrary vertices is an important problem in road networks. Due to real-time traffic conditions, road networks undergo dynamic changes all the time. Current state-of-the-art methods…

A $k$-decision tree $t$ (or $k$-tree) is a recursive partition of a matrix (2D-signal) into $k\geq 1$ block matrices (axis-parallel rectangles, leaves) where each rectangle is assigned a real label. Its regression or classification loss to…

The supertree construction problem is about combining several phylogenetic trees with possibly conflicting information into a single tree that has all the leaves of the source trees as its leaves and the relationships between the leaves are…

Spanning trees of low average stretch on the non-tree edges, as introduced by Alon et al. [SICOMP 1995], are a natural graph-theoretic object. In recent years, they have found significant applications in solvers for symmetric diagonally…

In the decision tree computation model for Boolean functions, the depth corresponds to query complexity, and size corresponds to storage space. The depth measure is the most well-studied one, and is known to be polynomially related to…

We study the problem of finding small trees. Classical network design problems are considered with the additional constraint that only a specified number $k$ of nodes are required to be connected in the solution. A prototypical example is…

Along with the development of manufacture and services, the problem of distribution network optimization has been growing in importance, thus receiving much attention from the research community. One of the most recently introduced network…

We present an algorithm, called the Offset Tree, for learning to make decisions in situations where the payoff of only one choice is observed, rather than all choices. The algorithm reduces this setting to binary classification, allowing…

The declustering problem is to allocate given data on parallel working storage devices in such a manner that typical requests find their data evenly distributed on the devices. Using deep results from discrepancy theory, we improve previous…

An L(2,1)-labeling of a graph $G$ is an assignment $f$ from the vertex set $V(G)$ to the set of nonnegative integers such that $|f(x)-f(y)|\ge 2$ if $x$ and $y$ are adjacent and $|f(x)-f(y)|\ge 1$ if $x$ and $y$ are at distance 2, for all…

Pedigrees, or family trees, are graphs of family relationships that are used to study inheritance. A fundamental problem in computational biology is to find, for a pedigree with $n$ individuals genotyped at every site, a set of…

In 2022, Defant and Kravitz introduced extended promotion (denoted $\partial$), a map that acts on the set of labelings of a poset. Extended promotion is a generalization of Sch\"{u}tzenberger's promotion operator, a well-studied map that…

We consider the following generalization of the binary search problem. A search strategy is required to locate an unknown target node $t$ in a given tree $T$. Upon querying a node $v$ of the tree, the strategy receives as a reply an…

The list-labeling problem is one of the most basic and well-studied algorithmic primitives in data structures, with an extensive literature spanning upper bounds, lower bounds, and data management applications. The classical algorithm for…

We are concerned with the problem of designing large families of subsets over a common labeled ground set that have small pairwise intersections and the property that the maximum discrepancy of the label values within each of the sets is…

We consider the fundamental problems of size discovery and topology recognition in radio networks modeled by simple undirected connected graphs. Size discovery calls for all nodes to output the number of nodes in the graph, called its size,…

A phylogenetic tree shows the evolutionary relationships among species. Internal nodes of the tree represent speciation events and leaf nodes correspond to species. A goal of phylogenetics is to combine such trees into larger trees, called…

We study the problem of generating, ranking and unranking of unlabeled ordered trees whose nodes have maximum degree of $\Delta$. This class of trees represents a generalization of chemical trees. A chemical tree is an unlabeled tree in…

We study leaf-to-ancestor path-minimum queries on a rooted, weighted tree in the oracle model, where the only allowed value operation is a comparison oracle on edge (or node) weights. We give a static data structure that, after O(n log h)…

A distance labeling scheme is an assignment of bit-labels to the vertices of an undirected, unweighted graph such that the distance between any pair of vertices can be decoded solely from their labels. We propose a series of new labeling…
