We consider a number of range reporting problems in two and three dimensions and prove lower bounds on the amount of space used by any cache-oblivious data structure for these pro...

Following recent work of Clarkson, we translate the coreset framework to the problems of finding the point closest to the origin inside a polytope, finding the shortest distance...

Integration over a domain, such as a Euclidean space or a Riemannian manifold, is a fundamental problem across scientific fields. Many times, the underlying domain is only acces...

We describe the first algorithms to compute minimum cuts in surface-embedded graphs in near-linear time. Given an undirected graph embedded on an orientable surface of genus g, w...

A binary space partition (BSP) for a set of disjoint objects in Euclidean space is a recursive decomposition, where each step partitions the space (and some of the objects) along ...

We present a data structure for ray shooting-and-insertion in the free space among disjoint polygonal obstacles with a total of n vertices in the plane, where each ray starts at t...

We consider the following combinatorial problem: given a set of n objects (for example, disks in the plane, triangles), and an integer L ≥ 1, what is the size of the smallest su...

Given a set system (X, R), the hitting set problem is to find a smallest-cardinality subset H ⊆ X, with the property that each range R ∈ R has a non-empty intersection with H...
