Abstract

This paper investigates the existence of linear space data structures for range searching. We examine the homothetic range search problem, where a set S of n points in the plane is to be preprocessed so that for any triangle T with sides parallel to three fixed directions the points of S that lie in T can be computed efficiently. We also look at domination searching in three dimensions. In this problem, S is a set of n points in E3 and the question is to retrieve all points of S that are dominated by some query point. We describe linear space data structures for both problems. The query time is optimal in the first case and near-optimal in the second.
