Abstract
We consider the problem of dynamically maintaining the convex hull of a set of points in the plane under the following special sequence of insertions and deletions (called {\em window-sliding updates}): insert a point to the right of all points of and delete the leftmost point of . We propose an -space data structure that can handle each update in amortized time, such that standard binary-search-based queries on the convex hull of can be answered in time, where is the number of vertices of the convex hull of , and the convex hull itself can be output in time.

Comments
A previous version appeared in WADS 2023, where the query time was O(log |S|). This new version improves the query time to O(log h)
