Let P be a set of n weighted points, Q be a set of m unweighted points in the plane, and k a non-negative integer. We consider the problem of computing a subset $Q'\subseteq Q$ with size at most k such that the sum of the weights of the…
In this paper we study skyline queries in the distributed computational model, where we have $s$ remote sites and a central coordinator (the query node); each site holds a piece of data, and the coordinator wants to compute the skyline of…
Skyline queries are important in many application domains. In this paper, we propose a novel structure Skyline Diagram, which given a set of points, partitions the plane into a set of regions, referred to as skyline polyominos. All query…
The skyline of a set of points in the plane is the subset of maximal points, where a point $(x,y)$ is maximal if no other point $(x',y')$ satisfies $x'\ge x$ and $y'\ge Y$. We consider the problem of preprocessing a set $P$ of $n$ points…
Given a graph, and a set of query vertices (subset of the vertices), the dynamic skyline query problem returns a subset of data vertices (other than query vertices) which are not dominated by other data vertices based on certain distance…
We present a simple wavefront-like approach for computing multiplicatively weighted Voronoi diagrams of points and straight-line segments in the Euclidean plane. If the input sites may be assumed to be randomly weighted points then the use…
Given a set $P$ of $n$ points in the plane and a collection of disks centered at these points, the disk graph $G(P)$ has vertex set $P$, with an edge between two vertices if their corresponding disks intersect. We study the dominating set…
The skyline of a set $P$ of points ($SKY(P)$) consists of the "best" points with respect to minimization or maximization of the attribute values. A point $p$ dominates another point $q$ if $p$ is as good as $q$ in all dimensions and it is…
We study Voronoi diagrams for distance functions that add together two convex functions, each taking as its argument the difference between Cartesian coordinates of two planar points. When the functions do not grow too quickly, then the…
Let $S$ be a planar $n$-point set. A triangulation for $S$ is a maximal plane straight-line graph with vertex set $S$. The Voronoi diagram for $S$ is the subdivision of the plane into cells such that all points in a cell have the same…
We consider preprocessing a set $S$ of $n$ points in convex position in the plane into a data structure supporting queries of the following form: given a point $q$ and a directed line $\ell$ in the plane, report the point of $S$ that is…
Given a set of N points, we have discovered an algorithm that can separate these points from one another by n-dimensional planes. Each point is chosen at random and put into a set S and planes which separate them are determined and put into…
In today's data-driven world, algorithms operating with vertically distributed datasets are crucial due to the increasing prevalence of large-scale, decentralized data storage. These algorithms enhance data privacy by processing data…
Given a set of $n$ points in a $d$-dimensional space, we seek to compute the skyline, i.e., those points that are not strictly dominated by any other point, using few comparisons between elements. We adopt the noisy comparison model…
Ranking (or top-k) and skyline queries are the most popular approaches used to extract interesting data from large datasets. The first one is based on a scoring function to evaluate and rank tuples. Its computation is fast, but it is…
Let $P$ be a planar set of $n$ sites in general position. For $k\in\{1,\dots,n-1\}$, the Voronoi diagram of order $k$ for $P$ is obtained by subdividing the plane into cells such that points in the same cell have the same set of nearest $k$…
Given a set of sites in a simple polygon, a geodesic Voronoi diagram of the sites partitions the polygon into regions based on distances to sites under the geodesic metric. We present algorithms for computing the geodesic nearest-point,…

In the Hausdorff Voronoi diagram of a family of \emph{clusters of points} in the plane, the distance between a point $t$ and a cluster $P$ is measured as the maximum distance between $t$ and any point in $P$, and the diagram is defined in a…
