Global Immutable Region Computation

Summary: Global Immutable Region (GIR) for top-k queries identifies the maximal weight-space locus where the top-k result remains identical. This enables sensitivity analysis, readjustment of query vectors, and caching; the paper delivers efficient GIR algorithms and extensive empirical validation.
