N2 - Given a fixed set S of n points in E∗ and a query plane the halfspace range search problem asks for the retrieval of all points of 5 on a chosen side of x. We prove that with 0(n(logn)8(loglogn)4) storage it is posAsible to solve this problem ia 0(k 4- logn) time, where k is the number of points to be reported. This result rests crucially on a new combinatorial derivation. We show that the maximum number of Ar-sets realized by a set of n points in E is 0(nfce) for a small positive constant c; a fc-set is any subset of S of size k which can be separated from the rest of S by a plane. Incidentally, this result constitutes the only nontrivial upper bound, as a function of n and k, known to date.
