Optimal Algorithms for Multiway Search on Partial Orders
Summary: Defines POMS—querying sets of ≤k vertices for reachability to an unknown target in a DAG—and gives an optimal algorithm using O(log_{1+k} n + d k log_{1+d} n) probes with a matching lower bound. Introduces an EM variant: an O(n/B)-space structure achieving optimal O(log_B n + d B log_{1+d} n) I/Os and a black-box conversion to I/O-efficient pointer-machine structures.
