For a set of $n$ points in the plane, this paper presents simple kinetic data structures (KDS's) for solutions to some fundamental proximity problems, namely, the all nearest neighbors problem, the closest pair problem, and the Euclidean…
This paper introduces a new proximity graph, called the $k$-Semi-Yao graph ($k$-SYG), on a set $P$ of points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, which is a supergraph of the $k$-nearest neighbor graph ($k$-NNG) of $P$. We provide a kinetic data structure…
Our aim is to develop dynamic data structures that support $k$-nearest neighbors ($k$-NN) queries for a set of $n$ point sites in the plane in $O(f(n) + k)$ time, where $f(n)$ is some polylogarithmic function of $n$. The key component is a…
The kinetic data structure (KDS) framework is a powerful tool for maintaining various geometric configurations of continuously moving objects. In this work, we introduce the kinetic hourglass, a novel KDS implementation designed to compute…
We study the geodesic Voronoi diagram of a set $S$ of $n$ linearly moving sites inside a static simple polygon $P$ with $m$ vertices. We identify all events where the structure of the Voronoi diagram changes, bound the number of such…
Yao graphs are geometric spanners that connect each point of a given point set to its nearest neighbor in each of $k$ cones drawn around it. Yao graphs were introduced to construct minimum spanning trees in $d$ dimensional spaces. Moreover,…
Fast and reliable K-Nearest Neighbor Graph algorithms are more important than ever due to their widespread use in many data processing techniques. This paper presents a runtime optimized C implementation of the heuristic "NN-Descent"…
We study the k nearest neighbors problem in the plane for general, convex, pairwise disjoint sites of constant description complexity such as line segments, disks, and quadrilaterals and with respect to a general family of distance…
Given a collection of points in R^3, KD-Tree and R-Tree are well-known nearest neighbor search (NNS) algorithms that rely on space partitioning and spatial indexing techniques. However, when the query point is far from the data points or…
We present an efficient dynamic data structure that supports geodesic nearest neighbor queries for a set of point sites $S$ in a static simple polygon $P$. Our data structure allows us to insert a new site in $S$, delete a site from $S$,…
Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points and $Q$ a convex $k$-gon in ${\mathbb R}^2$. We analyze in detail the topological (or discrete) changes in the structure of the Voronoi diagram and the Delaunay triangulation of $P$, under the convex distance…
We present a set of parallel algorithms for computing exact k-nearest neighbors in low dimensions. Many k-nearest neighbor algorithms use either a kd-tree or the Morton ordering of the point set; our algorithms combine these approaches…
We present an efficient dynamic data structure that supports geodesic nearest neighbor queries for a set $S$ of point sites in a static simple polygon $P$. Our data structure allows us to insert a new site in $S$, delete a site from $S$,…
We present a general framework of designing efficient dynamic approximate algorithms for optimization on undirected graphs. In particular, we develop a technique that, given any problem that admits a certain notion of vertex sparsifiers,…
Let $K$ be a compact, centrally-symmetric, strictly-convex region in ${\mathbb R}^3$, which is a semi-algebraic set of constant complexity, i.e. the unit ball of a corresponding metric, denoted as $\|\cdot\|_K$. Let ${\mathcal{K}}$ be a set…
Nearest neighbor search and k-nearest neighbor graph construction are two fundamental issues arise from many disciplines such as multimedia information retrieval, data-mining and machine learning. They become more and more imminent given…
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 this paper, we develop deterministic fully dynamic algorithms for computing approximate distances in a graph with worst-case update time guarantees. In particular, we obtain improved dynamic algorithms that, given an unweighted and…
We present a deterministic fully-dynamic data structure for maintaining information about the cut-vertices in a graph; i.e. the vertices whose removal would disconnect the graph. Our data structure supports insertion and deletion of edges,…
Algebraic data structures are the main subroutine for maintaining distances in fully dynamic graphs in subquadratic time. However, these dynamic algebraic algorithms generally cannot maintain the shortest paths, especially against adaptive…
