We show that any priority queue data structure that supports insert, delete, and find-min operations in pq(n) time, when n is an upper bound on the number of elements in the prio...

We give a priority queue that guarantees the worstcase cost of Θ(1) per minimum finding, insertion, and decrease; and the worst-case cost of Θ(lg n) with at most lg n + O( √ ...
Constructions of optical queues by optical Switches and fiber Delay Lines (SDL) have received a lot of attention lately. In this short paper, we provide a simple proof for the co...

We consider a memoryless single server queue with two classes of customers, each having its fixed entry fee. We show that profit and social welfare may benefit from a service disc...
We construct a bijection between labeled trees and allowable pairs of permutations sorted by a priority queue. These are also the pairs of permutations that avoid the pattern pairs...
