Unique-sink orientations of grids are models for linear optimization problems. Vertices of the grid represent possible solutions to the optimization problem; edge orientations indicate improving directions. The computational goal is to find the unique sink, representing the optimal solution. We study the query complexity of this model, where we consider two natural types of queries, vertex queries...
In this paper we investigate the top-k-selection problem, i.e. to determine and sort the top k elements, in the dynamic data model. Here dynamic means that the underlying total order evolves over time, and that the order can only be probed by pair-wise comparisons. It is assumed that at each time step, only one pair of elements can be compared. This assumption of restricted access is reasonable in...
