Two for One: Tight Approximation of 2D Bin Packing
In this paper, we study the two-dimensional geometrical bin packing problem (2DBP): given a list of rectangles, provide a packing of all these into the smallest possible number of ...

Fault Tolerant External Memory Algorithms
Abstract. Algorithms dealing with massive data sets are usually designed for I/O-efficiency, often captured by the I/O model by Aggarwal and Vitter. Another aspect of dealing with ...

Resolving Loads with Positive Interior Stresses
We consider the pair (pi, fi) as a force with two-dimensional direction vector fi applied at the point pi in the plane. For a given set of forces we ask for a non-crossing geometri...

Approximating Transitive Reductions for Directed Networks
Abstract. We consider minimum equivalent digraph problem, its maximum optimization variant and some non-trivial extensions of these two types of problems motivated by biological an...

Rank-Balanced Trees
Since the invention of AVL trees in 1962, a wide variety of ways to balance binary search trees have been proposed. Notable are red-black trees, in which bottom-up rebalancing afte...

Dynamic Graph Clustering Using Minimum-Cut Trees
Abstract. Algorithms or target functions for graph clustering rarely admit quality guarantees or optimal results in general. Based on properties of minimum-cut trees, a clustering ...

Online Square Packing
We analyze the problem of packing squares in an online fashion: Given an semi-infinite strip of width 1 and an unknown sequence of squares with side lengths in [0, 1] that arrive...

Minimal Locked Trees
Locked tree linkages have been known to exist in the plane since 1998, but it is still open whether they have a polynomial-time characterization. This paper examines the properties...

Succinct Orthogonal Range Search Structures on a Grid with Applications to Text Indexing
We present a succinct representation of a set of n points on an n × n grid using n lg n + o(n lg n) bits3 to support orthogonal range counting in O(lg n/ lg lg n) time, and range ...
