We present a randomized strategy for maintaining balance in dynamically changing search trees that has optimal expected behavior. In particular, in the expected case a search or a...
We establish that the algorithmic complexity of the minimum spanning tree problem is equal to its decision-tree complexity. Specifically, we present a deterministic algorithm to fi...
Let S be a set of n intervals in R, and let (S, +) be any commutative semigroup. We assign a weight ω(s) ∈ S to each interval in S. For a point x ∈ R, let S(x) ⊆ S be the se...

We present a language model consisting of a collection of costed bidirectional finite state automata associated with the head words of phrases. The model is suitable for increment...
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...
