Optimal bounds for noisy sorting

Y Gu, Y Xu - Proceedings of the 55th Annual ACM Symposium on …, 2023 - dl.acm.org
Sorting is a fundamental problem in computer science. In the classical setting, it is well-
known that (1±o (1)) n log2 n comparisons are both necessary and sufficient to sort a list of n …

Optimal sorting with persistent comparison errors

B Geissmann, S Leucci, CH Liu, P Penna - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2018 - arxiv.org
We consider the problem of sorting $ n $ elements in the case of\emph {persistent}
comparison errors. In this model (Braverman and Mossel, SODA'08), each comparison …

How to design robust algorithms using noisy comparison oracle

R Addanki, S Galhotra, B Saha - arxiv preprint arxiv:2105.05782, 2021 - arxiv.org
Metric based comparison operations such as finding maximum, nearest and farthest
neighbor are fundamental to studying various clustering techniques such as $ k $-center …

Optimal Parallel Sorting with Comparison Errors

MT Goodrich, R Jacob - Proceedings of the 35th ACM Symposium on …, 2023 - dl.acm.org
We present comparison-based parallel algorithms for sorting n comparable items subject to
comparison errors. We consider errors to occur according to a well-studied framework …

k-Clustering with Comparison and Distance Oracles

S Galhotra, R Raychaudhury, S Sintos - … of the ACM on Management of …, 2024 - dl.acm.org
In this paper, we address clustering problems in scenarios where accurate direct access to
the full dataset is impractical or impossible. Instead, we leverage oracle-based methods …

Noisy sorting without searching: Data oblivious sorting with comparison errors

R Afshar, M Dillencourt, MT Goodrich… - … Algorithms (SEA 2023), 2023 - drops.dagstuhl.de
We provide and study several algorithms for sorting an array of n comparable distinct
elements subject to probabilistic comparison errors. In this model, the comparison of two …

External-memory sorting with comparison errors

MT Goodrich, E Ozel - Algorithms and Data Structures Symposium, 2023 - Springer
We provide several algorithms for sorting an array of n comparable distinct elements subject
to probabilistic comparison errors in external memory. In this model, which has been …

Computational Geometry with Probabilistically Noisy Primitive Operations

D Eppstein, MT Goodrich, V Sridhar - arxiv preprint arxiv:2501.07707, 2025 - arxiv.org
Much prior work has been done on designing computational geometry algorithms that
handle input degeneracies, data imprecision, and arithmetic round-off errors. We take a new …

Robust-Sorting and Applications to Ulam-Median

R Jaiswal, A Kumar, J Yadav - arxiv preprint arxiv:2502.07653, 2025 - arxiv.org
Sorting is one of the most basic primitives in many algorithms and data analysis tasks.
Comparison-based sorting algorithms, like quick-sort and merge-sort, are known to be …

Resilient dictionaries for randomly unreliable memory

S Leucci, CH Liu, S Meierhans - 27th Annual European …, 2019 - drops.dagstuhl.de
We study the problem of designing a dictionary data structure that is resilient to memory
corruptions. Our error model is a variation of the faulty RAM model in which, except for …
