Skew is prevalent in data streams, and should be taken into account by algorithms that analyze the data. The problem of finding "biased quantiles"-- that is, approximate...

We give an O(n lg n)-time algorithm for counting the number of inversions in a permutation on n elements. This improves a long-standing previous bound of O(n lg n/ lg lg n) that ...
A Bloom filter (BF) is a randomised data structure for set membership queries. Its space requirements are significantly below lossless information-theoretic lower bounds but it ...
Abstract. In this paper, we consider the problem of computing a minimum bending energy path (or MinBEP) in a simple corridor. Given a simple 2D corridor C bounded by straight line ...
In this paper, we study the following disc covering problem: Given a set of discs of various radii on the plane, find a subset of discs to maximize the area covered by exactly on...
