Description
In this paper we study the Prefix Sum problem introduced by Fredman.
We show that it is possible to perform both update and retrieval in O(1) time simultaneously under a memory model in which individual bits may be shared by several words.
We also show that two variants (generalizations) of the problem can be solved optimally in $Θ(\lg N)$ time under the comparison based model of computation.
