Abstract. High-value rare-event searching is arguably the most natural application of grid computing, where computational tasks are distributed to a large collection of clients (wh...
We define a natural notion of efficiency for approximate nearest-neighbor (ANN) search in general n-point metric spaces, namely the existence of a randomized algorithm which answ...
In this paper we show how the complexity of performing nearest neighbor (NNS) search on a metric space is related to the expansion of the metric space. Given a metric space we loo...
This work investigates a geometric approach to proving cell probe lower bounds for data structure problems. We consider the approximate nearest neighbor search problem on the Bool...
We present a novel approach for decomposing contact/impact computations in which the mesh elements come in contact with each other during the course of the simulation. Effective d...
