Convex Hull with Optimal Query Time and O ( log n · log log n ) Update Time

The dynamic maintenance of the convex hull of a set of points in the plane is one of the most important problems in computational geometry. We present a data structure supporting point insertions in amortized O(log n · log log logn) time, point deletions in amortized O(log n · log logn) time, and various queries about the convex hull in optimal O(log n) worst-case time. The data structure requi...

On Generalized Planar Skyline and Convex Hull Range Queries

We present output sensitive techniques for the generalized reporting versions of the planar range maxima problem and the planar range convex hull problem. Our solutions are in the pointer machine model, for orthogonal range queries on a static point set. We solve the planar range maxima problem for two-sided, three-sided and four-sided queries. We achieve a query time of O(log n+c) using O(n) s...

Planar Convex Hull Range Query and Related Problems

We consider the planar convex hull range query problem. Let P be a set of points in the plane. We preprocess these points into a data structure such that given an orthogonal range query, we can report the convex hull of the points in the range in O(log n + h) time, where h is the size of the output. The data structure uses O(n log n) space. This improves the previous bound of O(log n+h) time an...
