In this paper we consider the skip graph data structure, a load balancing alternative to skip lists, designed to perform better in a distributed environment. We extend previous results of Devroye on skip lists, and prove that the maximum length of a search path in a random binary skip graph of size n is of order logn with high probability.

Neuropathic pain is characterized by hyperalgesia, allodynia and spontaneous pain. Previous studies have shown that Ski-interacting protein (SKIP) played an important role in neuronal survival and neuroprotection. However, its expression and function in neuropathic pain remains unknown. We found that the level of SKIP was increased in the spinal cord in a time dependent manner after chronic con...

Skip lists were introduced by Pugh (10) and analysed in (7; 4; 9) and also some other papers. We assume that the reader has a certain familiarity with skip lists, if (s)he wants to understand the origin of the problem. To understand the analysis that we perform, no such prerequisites are necessary. The variation that was suggested in (1) is best understood looking at the following example, take...

Time stamping is a cryptographic technique providing us with a proof-of-existence of a message/document at a given time. Several timestamping schemes have already been proposed [1-10]. In this paper, we first define a new timestamping scheme which is based on skip lists [11]. Then, we show that our scheme offers nice properties and optimal performances.

In this paper, we introduce the Rotating skip list, the fastest concurrent skip list to date. Existing concurrent data structures experience limited scalability with the growing core count for two main reasons: threads contend while accessing the same shared data and they require off-chip communication to synchronize. Our solution combines the rotation of a tree to maintain logarithmic complexi...

The high efficiency video coding (HEVC) standard has significantly improved the coding efficiency by adopting a number of new coding tools. However enormous computational complexity is introduced by recursive rate-distortion optimization and new coding tools. In this paper, early SKIP decision method is proposed based on merge index of SKIP. There is high possibility that SKIP is selected as op...
