Given a set $S$ of $n$ points in the plane, we consider the problem of answering range selection queries on $S$: that is, given an arbitrary $x$-range $Q$ and an integer $k > 0$, return the $k$-th smallest $y$-coordinate from the set of…

Given a set $P$ of coloured points on the real line, we study the problem of answering range $\alpha$-majority (or "heavy hitter") queries on $P$. More specifically, for a query range $Q$, we want to return each colour that is assigned to…

Given a simple polygon $P$ with $n$ vertices, we consider the problem of constructing a data structure for visibility queries: for any query point $q \in P$, compute the visibility polygon of $q$ in $P$. To obtain $O(\log n + k)$ query…

We present a structure in external memory for "top-k range reporting", which uses linear space, answers a query in O(lg_B n + k/B) I/Os, and supports an update in O(lg_B n) amortized I/Os, where n is the input size, and B is the block size.…
