In dynamic stabbing, we operate on a dynamic set of intervals. A stabbing query asks for an interval containing a given point. This basic problem encodes problems such as method l...
We give polynomial-time quantum algorithms for three problems from computational algebraic number theory. The first is Pell's equation. Given a positive nonsquare integer d, ...
Empowering users to access databases using simple keywords can relieve the users from the steep learning curve of mastering a structured query language and understanding complex a...
Normalization as a way of producing good database designs is a well-understood topic. However, the same problem of distinguishing well-designed databases from poorly designed ones...
Skew is prevalent in data streams, and should be taken into account by algorithms that analyze the data. The problem of finding "biased quantiles"-- that is, approximate...
