In orthogonal range reporting we are to preprocess N points in d-dimensional space so that the points inside a d-dimensional axis-aligned query box can be reported efficiently. T...
Abstract. We give a (ln n + 1)-approximation for the decision tree (DT) problem. An instance of DT is a set of m binary tests T = (T1, . . . , Tm) and a set of n items X = (X1, . ....
We give an O(n lg n)-time algorithm for counting the number of inversions in a permutation on n elements. This improves a long-standing previous bound of O(n lg n/ lg lg n) that ...
—Metric space searching is an emerging technique to address the problem of efficient similarity searching in many applications, including multimedia databases and other reposito...
The scalability of graph-search algorithms can be greatly extended by using external memory, such as disk, to store generated nodes. We consider structured duplicate detection, an...
