Given a continuous function f : X → IR on a topological space X, its level set f−1 (a) changes continuously as the real value a changes. Consequently, the connected components...
In dynamic stabbing, we operate on a dynamic set of intervals. A stabbing query asks for an interval containing a given point. This basic problem encodes problems such as method l...
The elastic net and related algorithms, such as generative topographic mapping, are key methods for discretized dimension-reduction problems. At their heart are priors that specify...
We design and analyze an on-line reordering buffer management algorithm with improved O log k log log k competitive ratio for non-uniform costs, where k is the buffer size. This i...
We present a new multi-dimensional data structure, which we call the skip quadtree (for point data in R2) or the skip octree (for point data in Rd, with constant d > 2). Our da...
