We obtain matching upper and lower bounds for the amount of time to find the predecessor of a given element among the elements of a fixed compactly stored set. Our algorithms are for the unit-cost word RAM with multiplication and are extended to give dynamic algorithms. The lower bounds are proved f
Given N 2 positive integers a 1 , a 2 , . . . , a N with GCD(a 1 , . . . , a N ) = 1, let f N denote the largest natural number which is not a positive integer combination of a 1 , . . . , a N . This paper gives an optimal lower bound for f N in terms of the absolute inhomogeneous minimum of the sta
