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 ...
Selectivity estimation of queries is an important and wellstudied problem in relational database systems. In this paper, we examine selectivity estimation in the context of Geogra...
