Previous research into the efficiency of text retrieval systems has dealt primarily with methods that consider inverted lists in sequence; these methods are known as term-at-a-tim...
This paper considers strategies for external memory based optimal planning. An external breadth-first search exploration algorithm is devised that is guaranteed to find the costop...
We consider the problem of testing bipartiteness in the adjacency matrix model. The best known algorithm, due to Alon and Krivelevich, distinguishes between bipartite graphs and g...
We design efficient competitive algorithms for discovering hidden information using few queries. Specifically, consider a game in a given set of intervals (and their implied inte...
We show that for any > 0, a maximum-weight triangle in an undirected graph with n vertices and real weights assigned to vertices can be found in time O(n + n2+), where is the ...
