Abstract: In the order-maintenance problem, the objective is to maintain a total order subject to insertions, deletions and comparisons of elements. In this talk, I will present a solution to the order-maintenance problem that combines an algorithm by Bender et al. (2002) with an idea presented by Dietz and Sleator (1987).
