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 ...
Similarity search usually encounters a serious problem in the high dimensional space, known as the “curse of dimensionality”. In order to speed up the retrieval efficiency, p...
Suppose we have n algorithms, quantum or classical, each computing some bit-value with bounded error probability. We describe a quantum algorithm that uses O( √ n) repetitions of...
Content-based dissemination of XML data using the publishsubscribe paradigm is an effective means to deliver relevant data to interested data consumers. To meet the performance ch...
