You could have invented Fenwick trees

I used them in my paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1701.07072

They appear quite naturally in the fermion-qubit mappings we looked at and I worked the data structure out at the time and only then found out about Fenwick’s work.

So I guess I also agree with the title :)

While it might be ok to use colloquially the term, "Fenwick trees" since it became a common name, calling them "a Fenwick's work" and not mentioning Ryabko is a clear misattribution.

Sure, by what I wrote above I meant more of a "Fenwick's paper" than "Fenwick's work" :)

That said, as far as I remember, I did not know about Ryabko. So while it might have been a misatribution, it's far from a clear one.

Did he publish it btw.? If so, do you have a reference?
