For a set of $n$ points in $\Re^d$, and parameters $k$ and $\eps$, we present a data structure that answers $(1+\eps,k)$-\ANN queries in logarithmic time. Surprisingly, the space used by the data-structure is $\Otilde (n /k)$; that is, the…

We study spectral algorithms for the high-dimensional Nearest Neighbor Search problem (NNS). In particular, we consider a semi-random setting where a dataset $P$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is chosen arbitrarily from an unknown subspace of low…

Semialgebraic graphs are graphs whose vertices are points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, and adjacency between two vertices is determined by the truth value of a semialgebraic predicate of constant complexity. We show how to harness polynomial…

Range closest-pair (RCP) search is a range-search variant of the classical closest-pair problem, which aims to store a given set $S$ of points into some space-efficient data structure such that when a query range $Q$ is specified, the…

Let $\RR$ be a real closed field (e.g. the field of real numbers) and $\mathscr{S} \subset \RR^n$ be a semi-algebraic set defined as the set of points in $\RR^n$ satisfying a system of $s$ equalities and inequalities of multivariate…

In this paper we present a novel non-parametric method of simplifying piecewise linear curves and we apply this method as a statistical approximation of structure within sequential data in the plane. We consider the problem of minimizing…

In the orthogonal range reporting problem we must pre-process a set $P$ of multi-dimensional points, so that for any axis-parallel query rectangle $q$ all points from $q\cap P$ can be reported efficiently. In this paper we study the query…

We report the first improvement in the space-time trade-off of lower bounds for the orthogonal range searching problem in the semigroup model, since Chazelle's result from 1990. This is one of the very fundamental problems in range…

Range reporting is a classical problem in computational geometry. A (rectangular) reporting data structure stores a point set $P$, such that, given a (rectangular) query region $\Delta$, it returns all points in $P \cap \Delta$. A variety…
