Fast Algorithms For Hierarchical Range Histogram Construction
Summary: Near-linear-time algorithms for constructing histograms of measure distributions under hierarchical range selections, using dynamic programming and a novel "sparse intervals" concept. First practical, space-for-time tradeoff approach preserving accuracy with empirical validation. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
