Traditional orthogonal range problems allow queries over a static set of points, each with some value. Dynamic variants allow points to be added or removed, one at a time. To support more powerful updates, we introduce the Grid Range class…

The computation of (i) $\varepsilon$-kernels, (ii) approximate diameter, and (iii) approximate bichromatic closest pair are fundamental problems in geometric approximation. In this paper, we describe new algorithms that offer significant…
We propose a new mechanism to accurately answer a user-provided set of linear counting queries under local differential privacy (LDP). Given a set of linear counting queries (the workload) our mechanism automatically adapts to provide…
Given a set $P$ of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^3$, we show that, for any $\varepsilon >0$, there exists an $\varepsilon$-net of $P$ for halfspace ranges, of size $O(1/\varepsilon)$. We give five proofs of this result, which are arguably…
