We consider the complexity of sorting strings in the model that counts comparisons between symbols and not just comparisons between strings. We show that for any set of strings S ...
Column-oriented database systems [19, 23] perform better than traditional row-oriented database systems on analytical workloads such as those found in decision support and busines...
The analyses of many algorithms and data structures (such as digital search trees) for searching and sorting are based on the representation of the keys involved as bit strings and...
When algorithms for sorting and searching are applied to keys that are represented as bit strings, we can quantify the performance of the algorithms not only in terms of the numbe...
