The Dynamic Spatial Approximation Tree (dsa–tree) is a recently proposed data structure for searching in metric spaces. It has been shown that it compares favorably against alte...
A common problem in applied mathematics is that of finding a function in a Hilbert space with prescribed best approximations from a finite number of closed vector subspaces. In ...
We show how to compute the edit distance between two strings of length n up to a factor of 2 ~O( log n) in n1+o(1) time. This is the first sub-polynomial approximation algorithm f...
The problem of computing periods in words, or finite sequences of symbols from a finite alphabet, has important applications in several areas including data compression, string se...
In many applications that track and analyze spatiotemporal data, movements obey periodic patterns; the objects follow the same routes (approximately) over regular time intervals. ...
