Abstract

We consider the nearest-neighbor problem over the d-cube: given a collection of points in {0, 1}d, find the one nearest to a query point (in the L1 sense). We establish a lower bound of Ω(log log d/log log log d) on the worst-case query time. This result holds in the cell probe model with (any amount of) polynomial storage and word-size dO(1). The same lower bound holds for the approximate version of the problem.
