In this paper we describe a dynamic external memory data structure that supports range reporting queries in three dimensions in $O(\log_B^2 N + \frac{k}{B})$ I/O operations, where $k$ is the number of points in the answer and $B$ is the…
Given a set $P$ of $n$ points and a set $S$ of $m$ disks in the plane, the disk hitting set problem asks for a smallest subset of $P$ such that every disk of $S$ contains at least one point in the subset. The problem is NP-hard. In this…
We describe a new data structure for dynamic nearest neighbor queries in the plane with respect to a general family of distance functions. These include $L_p$-norms and additively weighted Euclidean distances. Our data structure supports…
In the planar range skyline reporting problem, we store a set P of n 2D points in a structure such that, given a query rectangle Q = [a_1, a_2] x [b_1, b_2], the maxima (a.k.a. skyline) of P \cap Q can be reported efficiently. The query is…
The dynamic set cover problem has been subject to extensive research since the pioneering works of [Bhattacharya et al, 2015] and [Gupta et al, 2017]. The input is a set system $(U, S)$ on a fixed collection $S$ of sets and a dynamic…

We study the problem of $2$-dimensional orthogonal range counting with additive error. Given a set $P$ of $n$ points drawn from an $n\times n$ grid and an error parameter $\eps$, the goal is to build a data structure, such that for any…
The union volume estimation problem asks to $(1\pm\varepsilon)$-approximate the volume of the union of $n$ given objects $X_1,\ldots,X_n \subset \mathbb{R}^d$. In their seminal work in 1989, Karp, Luby, and Madras solved this problem in…
We propose a dynamic data structure for the distribution-sensitive point location problem. Suppose that there is a fixed query distribution in $\mathbb{R}^2$, and we are given an oracle that can return in $O(1)$ time the probability of a…
We revisit the range minimum query problem and present a new O(n)-space data structure that supports queries in O(1) time. Although previous data structures exist whose asymptotic bounds match ours, our goal is to introduce a new solution…
A dynamic dictionary is a data structure that maintains sets of cardinality at most $n$ from a given universe and supports insertions, deletions, and membership queries. A filter approximates membership queries with a one-sided error that…
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…
In the orthogonal range reporting problem, we are to preprocess a set of $n$ points with integer coordinates on a $U \times U$ grid. The goal is to support reporting all $k$ points inside an axis-aligned query rectangle. This is one of the…

We consider the two-dimensional sorted range reporting problem. Our data structure requires O(n lglg n) words of space and O(lglg n + k lglg n) query time, where k is the number of points in the query range. This data structure improves a…

Given a set $P$ of $n$ weighted points and a set $S$ of $m$ disks in the plane, the hitting set problem is to compute a subset $P'$ of points of $P$ such that each disk contains at least one point of $P'$ and the total weight of all points…
