  • Foundations of Differentially Oblivious Algorithms
    Foundations of Differentially Oblivious Algorithms T-H. Hubert Chan Kai-Min Chung Bruce Maggs Elaine Shi August 5, 2020 Abstract It is well-known that a program's memory access pattern can leak information about its input. To thwart such leakage, most existing works adopt the technique of oblivious RAM (ORAM) simulation. Such an obliviousness notion has stimulated much debate. Although ORAM techniques have significantly improved over the past few years, the concrete overheads are arguably still undesirable for real-world systems | part of this overhead is in fact inherent due to a well-known logarithmic ORAM lower bound by Goldreich and Ostrovsky. To make matters worse, when the program's runtime or output length depend on secret inputs, it may be necessary to perform worst-case padding to achieve full obliviousness and thus incur possibly super-linear overheads. Inspired by the elegant notion of differential privacy, we initiate the study of a new notion of access pattern privacy, which we call \(, δ)-differential obliviousness". We separate the notion of (, δ)-differential obliviousness from classical obliviousness by considering several fundamental algorithmic abstractions including sorting small-length keys, merging two sorted lists, and range query data structures (akin to binary search trees). We show that by adopting differential obliv- iousness with reasonable choices of and δ, not only can one circumvent several impossibilities pertaining to full obliviousness, one can also, in several cases, obtain meaningful privacy with little overhead relative to the non-private baselines (i.e., having privacy \almost for free"). On the other hand, we show that for very demanding choices of and δ, the same lower bounds for oblivious algorithms would be preserved for (, δ)-differential obliviousness.

  • Sorting Algorithm 1 Sorting Algorithm
    Sorting algorithm 1 Sorting algorithm In computer science, a sorting algorithm is an algorithm that puts elements of a list in a certain order. The most-used orders are numerical order and lexicographical order. Efficient sorting is important for optimizing the use of other algorithms (such as search and merge algorithms) that require sorted lists to work correctly; it is also often useful for canonicalizing data and for producing human-readable output. More formally, the output must satisfy two conditions: 1. The output is in nondecreasing order (each element is no smaller than the previous element according to the desired total order); 2. The output is a permutation, or reordering, of the input. Since the dawn of computing, the sorting problem has attracted a great deal of research, perhaps due to the complexity of solving it efficiently despite its simple, familiar statement. For example, bubble sort was analyzed as early as 1956.[1] Although many consider it a solved problem, useful new sorting algorithms are still being invented (for example, library sort was first published in 2004). Sorting algorithms are prevalent in introductory computer science classes, where the abundance of algorithms for the problem provides a gentle introduction to a variety of core algorithm concepts, such as big O notation, divide and conquer algorithms, data structures, randomized algorithms, best, worst and average case analysis, time-space tradeoffs, and lower bounds. Classification Sorting algorithms used in computer science are often classified by: • Computational complexity (worst, average and best behaviour) of element comparisons in terms of the size of the list . For typical sorting algorithms good behavior is and bad behavior is .

  • On the Adaptiveness of Quicksort

Many 2n ln n ≈ 1:4n log2 n [10]. Many variants and analysis variants have been developed, the best of which are of the algorithm have later been given, including [1, 12, among the fastest generic sorting algorithms available, 19, 20, 21]. In practice, tuned versions of Quicksort as testified by the choice of Quicksort as the default have turned out to be very competitive, and are used as sorting algorithm in most programming libraries. Some standard sorting algorithms in many software libraries, sorting algorithms are adaptive, i.e. they have a com- e.g. C glibc, C++ STL-library, Java JDK, and the .NET plexity analysis which is better for inputs which are Framework. nearly sorted, according to some specified measure of A sorting algorithm is called adaptive with respect presortedness. Quicksort is not among these, as it uses to some measure of presortedness if, for some given Ω(n log n) comparisons even when the input is already input size, the running time of the algorithm is provably sorted. However, in this paper we demonstrate em- better for inputs with low value of the measure.

    UPPER BOUNDS FOR SORTING INTEGERS ON RANDOM ACCESS MACHINES by David Kirkpatrick* Stefan Reisch** Technical Report 81-12*** September, 1981 * Department of Computer Science, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C., Canada ** Fakultat fur Mathematik, Universitat Bielefeld, Federal Republic of Germany *** This work was supported in part by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, grant A3583. ., Abstract Two models of Random Access Machines suitable for sorting integers are presented. Our main results show that i) a RAM with addition, sub­ traction, multiplication, and integer division can sort n integers in the range [0,2cn] in O(n loge+ n) steps; ii) a RAM with addition, subtraction, and left and right shifts can sort any n integers in linear time; iii) a RAM with addition, subtraction, and left and right shifts can sort n integers in the range [O,nc] in O(n loge+ n) steps, where all intermediate results are bounded in value by the largest input. 1. Introduction The general problem of sorting is one of the most fundamental land well studied) problems in computer science. For the most general formulation of the problem it is natural to restrict one's attention to comparison-based algorithms. In this setting, it is well-known that O(n log n) operations (comparisons) are necessary and sufficient to sort an arbitrary n-tuple. It is also well-known that if an n-tuple consists entirely of integers in the range [O,n-1] (or, in fact, any range of size O(n)), then it can be sorted in O(n) operations by a RAM.

  • Searching in a Sorted Linked List and Sort Integers Into a Linked List
    SEARCHING IN A SORTED LINKED LIST AND SORT INTEGERS INTO A LINKED LIST A THESIS IN Computer Science Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE By HEMASREE KOGANTI B. Tech(CS), GOKARAJU RANGARAJU INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY , India, 2015 Kansas City, Missouri 2019 ©2018 HEMASREE KOGANTI ALL RIGHTS RESERVED SEARCHING IN A SORTED LINKED LIST AND SORT INTEGERS INTO A LINKED LIST Hemasree Koganti, Candidate for the Master of Science Degree University of Missouri – Kansas City, 2018 ABSTRACT The research work consists of two parts. Part one is about Searching for an integer in a sorted Linked list. A tree is constructed in O(nloglogm/p+loglogm) time with p processors based on the trie with all the given integers. Additional nodes (O(nloglogm) of them) are added to the tree. After the tree is constructed, for any given integer we can find the predecessor and successor of the integer, insert or delete the integer in O(loglogm) time. The result demonstrates for the searching purpose we need not to sort the input numbers into a sorted array for this would need at least O(logn/loglogn) time while this algorithm for constructing the tree can run in O(loglogm) time with n processors. Part two is on sorting integers into a linked list. There are various best algorithms for sorting integers. The current research work applies the recent important results of sorting integers in (logn/loglogn) time. This algorithm takes “constant time” to sort integers into a linked list with nlogm processors and O(loglogm/logt) time using nt processors on the Priority CRCW PRAM model.
