Revisiting priority queues for image analysis
Many algorithms in image analysis require a priority queue, a data structure that holds pointers to pixels in the image, and which allows efficiently finding the pixel in the queu...

Parking functions, valet functions and priority queues
We construct a bijection between labeled trees and allowable pairs of permutations sorted by a priority queue. These are also the pairs of permutations that avoid the pattern pairs...

The soft heap: an approximate priority queue with optimal error rate
A simple variant of a priority queue, called a soft heap, is introduced. The data structure supports the usual operations: insert, delete, meld, and findmin. Its novelty is to beat...

Tie-breaking strategies for fast distance join processing
The distance join is a spatial join that finds pairs of closest objects in the order of distance by associating two spatial data sets. The distance join stores node pairs in a pri...

Analyzing priority queues with 3 classes using tree-like processes
In this paper we demonstrate how tree-like processes can be used to analyze a general class of priority queues with three service classes, creating a new methodology to study prio...

Time-dependent performance analysis of a discrete-time priority queue
We present the transient analysis of the system content in a two-class discrete-time MX /D/1 priority queue. In particular, we derive an expression for the generating function of ...

On the Power of Structural Violations in Priority Queues
We give a priority queue that guarantees the worstcase cost of Θ(1) per minimum finding, insertion, and decrease; and the worst-case cost of Θ(lg n) with at most lg n + O( √ ...

Prioritizing Bellman Backups without a Priority Queue
Several researchers have shown that the efficiency of value iteration, a dynamic programming algorithm for Markov decision processes, can be improved by prioritizing the order of...

Parallel Algorithms for Priority Queue Operations
This paper presents parallel algorithms for priority queue operations on a p-processor EREWPRAM. The algorithms are based on a new data structure, the Min-path Heap (MH), which is...
