Abstract. A Range Minimum Query asks for the position of a minimal element between two specified array-indices. We consider a natural extension of this, where our further constrai...
We provide a smoothed analysis of Hoare’s find algorithm and we revisit the smoothed analysis of quicksort. Hoare’s find algorithm – often called quickselect – is an easy...

Abstract. The genomic median problem is an optimization problem inspired by a biological issue: it aims at finding the chromosome organization of the common ancestor to multiple li...
This paper presents a simple and efficient algorithm for approximate dictionary matching designed for similarity measures such as cosine, Dice, Jaccard, and overlap coefficients. ...
