New Ways to Construct Binary Search Trees
Abstract. We give linear-time algorithms for re-ordering and heightrestricting a binary search tree with only a small increase in cost, constructing a nearly optimal binary search ...

Primal-dual meets local search: approximating MST's with nonuniform degree bounds
We present a new bicriteria approximation algorithm for the degree-bounded minimum-cost spanning tree problem: Given an undirected graph with nonnegative edge weights and degree b...

Evaluating the Cost of Boolean Query Mapping
Non-uniform query languages make searching over heterogeneous information sources difficult. Our approach is to allow a user to compose Boolean queries in one rich front-end lang...

Optimized Binary Search and Text Retrieval
We present an algorithm that minimizes the expected cost of indirect binary search for data with non-constant access costs, such as disk data. Indirect binary search means that sor...
