A Dynamic I/O-Efficient Structure for One-Dimensional Top-k Range Reporting

Summary: External-memory dynamic structure for one-dimensional top-k range reporting using linear space, answering queries in O(lg_B n + k/B) I/Os. Supports amortized updates in O(lg_B n) I/Os, improving prior O(lg_B^2 n) update bounds. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
