Online Balancing of Range-Partitioned Data with Applications to Peer-to-Peer Systems

Summary: Online, asymptotically optimal algorithms maintain storage balance for range-partitioned data under adversarial inserts/deletes across disks/nodes. With distributed routing, it enables range queries in P2P settings while preserving balance. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
