A fundamental problem in data management is to draw a sample of a large data set, for approximate query answering, selectivity estimation, and query planning. With large, streamin...

We propose a simple variant of kd-trees, called rank-based kd-trees, for sets of points in Rd . We show that a rank-based kd-tree, like an ordinary kd-tree, supports range search ...

Planar point location is among the most fundamental search problems in computational geometry. Although this problem has been heavily studied from the perspective of worst-case que...

Hash tables are fundamental data structures that optimally answer membership queries. Suppose a client stores n elements in a hash table that is outsourced at a remote server so t...
