Using hashing to solve the dictionary problem
We consider the dictionary problem in external memory and improve the update time of the wellknown buffer tree by roughly a logarithmic factor. For any λ ≥ max{lg lg n, logM/B(...

The shifting sands algorithm
We resolve the problem of small-space approximate selection in random-order streams. Specifically, we present an algorithm that reads the n elements of a set in random order and ...

Linear kernels for (connected) dominating set on H-minor-free graphs
We give the first linear kernels for DOMINATING SET and CONNECTED DOMINATING SET problems on graphs excluding a fixed graph H as a minor. In other words, we give polynomial time...

Submatrix maximum queries in Monge matrices and Monge partial matrices, and their applications
We describe a data structure for submatrix maximum queries in Monge matrices or Monge partial matrices, where a query specifies a contiguous submatrix of the given matrix, and it...

Approximation algorithms for stochastic orienteering
In the Stochastic Orienteering problem, we are given a metric, where each node also has a job located there with some deterministic reward and a random size. (Think of the jobs as...

Parallelism and time in hierarchical self-assembly
We study the role that parallelism plays in time complexariants of Winfree’s abstract Tile Assembly Model (aTAM), a model of molecular algorithmic self-assembly. In the “hiera...
