Smoothed Analysis of Binary Search Trees and Quicksort Under Additive Noise
Binary search trees are a fundamental data structure and their height plays a key role in the analysis of divide-and-conquer algorithms like quicksort. Their worst-case height is l...

Generalized Binary Tanglegrams: Algorithms and Applications
Several applications require the joint display of two phylogenetic trees whose leaves are matched by inter-tree edges. This issue arises, for example, when comparing gene trees and...

On Conditional Branches in Optimal Search Trees
A commonly used type of search tree is the alphabetic binary tree, which uses (without loss of generality) "less than" versus "greater than or equal to" tests ...

Decision trees for entity identification: approximation algorithms and hardness results
We consider the problem of constructing decision trees for entity identification from a given relational table. The input is a table containing information about a set of entities...

Finding an optimal tree searching strategy in linear time
We address the extension of the binary search technique from sorted arrays and totally ordered sets to trees and tree-like partially ordered sets. As in the sorted array case, the...
