We consider the $k$-center problem in which the centers are constrained to lie on two lines. Given a set of $n$ weighted points in the plane, we want to locate up to $k$ centers on two parallel lines. We present an $O(n\log^2 n)$ time…

We present an $O(n\sqrt{\log n})$ time and linear space algorithm for sorting real numbers. This breaks the long time illusion that real numbers have to be sorted by comparison sorting and take $\Omega (n\log n)$ time to be sorted.

We study the wireless scheduling problem in the SINR model. More specifically, given a set of $n$ links, each a sender-receiver pair, we wish to partition (or \emph{schedule}) the links into the minimum number of slots, each satisfying…

The authors recently gave an $n^{O(\log\log n)}$ time membership query algorithm for properly learning decision trees under the uniform distribution (Blanc et al., 2021). The previous fastest algorithm for this problem ran in $n^{O(\log…

Kallampally and Tewari showed in 2016 that there can be a trade-off between determinism and time in space-bounded computations. This they did by describing an unambiguous non-deterministic algorithm to solve Directed Graph Reachability that…

We consider a bichromatic two-center problem for pairs of points. Given a set $S$ of $n$ pairs of points in the plane, for every pair, we want to assign a red color to one point and a blue color to the other, in such a way that the value…

We study the complexity of the Channel Assignment problem. A major open problem asks whether Channel Assignment admits an $O(c^n)$-time algorithm, for a constant $c$ independent of the weights on the edges. We answer this question in the…

In this paper, we consider the problems for covering multiple intervals on a line. Given a set $B$ of $m$ line segments (called "barriers") on a horizontal line $L$ and another set $S$ of $n$ horizontal line segments of the same length in…

Given two strings $T$ and $S$ and a set of strings $P$, for each string $p \in P$, consider the unique substrings of $T$ that have $p$ as their prefix and $S$ as their suffix. Two problems then come to mind; the first problem being the…

Geometric matching is an important topic in computational geometry and has been extensively studied over decades. In this paper, we study a geometric-matching problem, known as geometric many-to-many matching. In this problem, the input is…

Given two point sets S and T, we study the many-to-many matching with demands problem (MMD problem) which is a generalization of the many-to-many matching problem (MM problem). In an MMD, each point of one set must be matched to a given…

In this paper we consider several instances of the k-center on a line problem where the goal is, given a set of points S in the plane and a parameter k >= 1, to find k disks with centers on a line l such that their union covers S and the…

A constant-workspace algorithm has read-only access to an input array and may use only O(1) additional words of $O(\log n)$ bits, where $n$ is the size of the input. We assume that a simple $n$-gon is given by the ordered sequence of its…

Let $X$ be a set of points in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and $\mathcal{O}$ be a set of geometric objects in $\mathbb{R}^2$, where $|X| + |\mathcal{O}| = n$. We study the problem of computing a minimum subset $\mathcal{O}^* \subseteq \mathcal{O}$ that…

In memory-constrained algorithms we have read-only access to the input, and the number of additional variables is limited. In this paper we introduce the compressed stack technique, a method that allows to transform algorithms whose space…

The bin packing problem is to find the minimum number of bins of size one to pack a list of items with sizes $a_1,..., a_n$ in $(0,1]$. Using uniform sampling, which selects a random element from the input list each time, we develop a…

We consider an interval coverage problem. Given $n$ intervals of the same length on a line $L$ and a line segment $B$ on $L$, we want to move the intervals along $L$ such that every point of $B$ is covered by at least one interval and the…

Given a set $ P $ of $n$ points and a set $ H $ of $n$ half-planes in the plane, we consider the problem of computing a smallest subset of points such that each half-plane contains at least one point of the subset. The previously best…

We study the point location problem on dynamic planar subdivisions that allows insertions and deletions of edges. In our problem, the underlying graph of a subdivision is not necessarily connected. We present a data structure of linear size…

For the constrained 2-means problem, we present a $O\left(dn+d({1\over\epsilon})^{O({1\over \epsilon})}\log n\right)$ time algorithm. It generates a collection $U$ of approximate center pairs $(c_1, c_2)$ such that one of pairs in $U$ can…
