This paper presents a combinational quantum-inspired binary gravitational search algorithm (QBGSA) for solving the optimal power quality monitor (PQM) placement problem in power systems for voltage sag assessment. In this algorithm, the standard binary gravitational search algorithm is modified by applying the concept and principles of quantum behaviour as to improve the search capability with ...

We propose a simple modification to the recently proposed compressive binary search [1]. The modification removes an unnecessary and suboptimal factor of log log n from the SNR requirement, making the procedure optimal (up to a small constant). Simulations show that the new procedure performs significantly better in practice as well. We also contrast this problem with the well known noisy binar...

We present a new linear time heuristic for constructing binary search trees. The analysis of the algorithm, by establishing an upper bound on the cost of the produced binary search trees, permits to derive a limitation on the cost of optimal binary search trees. The obtained upper bound improve on previous results.

We present a general method for de-amortizing essentially any Binary Search Tree (BST) algorithm. In particular, by transforming Splay Trees, our method produces a BST that has the same asymptotic cost as Splay Trees on any access sequence while performing each search in O(log n) worst case time. By transforming Multi-Splay Trees, we obtain a BST that is O(log log n) competitive, satisfies the ...

We revisit the classical problem of searching in a binary search tree (BST) using rotations, and present novel connections of this problem to a number of geometric and combinatorial structures. In particular, we show that the execution trace of a BST that serves a sequence of queries is in close correspondence with the flip-sequence between two rectangulations. (Rectangulations are well-studied...
