We address the vexing issue of deletions in balanced trees. Rebalancing after a deletion is generally more complicated than rebalancing after an insertion. Textbooks neglect delet...
Abstract—Skip Tree Graph is a novel, distributed, data structure for peer-to-peer systems that supports exact-match and order-based queries such as range queries efficiently. It...
As random access memory gets cheaper, it becomes increasingly affordable to build computers with large main memories. We consider decision support workloads within the context of...
We present an O(lg lg n)-competitive online binary search tree, improving upon the best previous (trivial) competitive ratio of O(lg n). This is the first major progress on Sleator...

We use large deviations to prove a general theorem on the asymptotic edge-weighted height Hn of a large class of random trees for which Hn c log n for some positive constant c. A...
