Space-Time Tradeoffs for Emptiness Queries

چکیده

We develop the rst nontrivial lower bounds on the complexity of online hyperplane and halfspace emptiness queries. Our lower bounds apply to a general class of geometric range query data structures called partition graphs. Informally, a partition graph is a directed acyclic graph that describes a recursive decomposition of space. We show that any partition graph that supports hyperplane emptiness queries implicitly de nes a halfspace range query data structure in the Fredman/Yao semigroup arithmetic model, with the same asymptotic space and time bounds. Thus, results of Bronnimann, Chazelle, and Pach imply that any partition graph of size s that supports hyperplane emptiness queries in time t satis es the inequality std = ((n= logn)d (d 1)=(d+1)). Using di erent techniques, we improve previous lower bounds for Hopcroft's problem|Given a set of points and hyperplanes, does any hyperplane contain a point?|in dimensions four and higher. Using this o ine result, we show that for online hyperplane emptiness queries, (nd=polylog n) space is required to achieve polylogarithmic query time, and (n(d 1)=d=polylogn) query time is required if only O(npolylog n) space is available. These two lower bounds are optimal up to polylogarithmic factors. For two-dimensional queries, we obtain an optimal continuous tradeo st2 = (n2) between these two extremes. Finally, using a lifting argument, we show that the same lower bounds hold for both o ine and online halfspace emptiness queries in Rd(d+3)=2 .

Approximate Range Emptiness in Constant Time and Optimal Space

This paper studies the ε-approximate range emptiness problem, where the task is to represent a set S of n points from {0, . . . , U − 1} and answer emptiness queries of the form “[a; b] ∩ S 6= ∅ ?” with a probability of false positives allowed. This generalizes the functionality of Bloom filters from single point queries to any interval length L. Setting the false positive rate to ε/L and perfo...

بهبود الگوریتم انتخاب دید در پایگاه داده‌‌ تحلیلی با استفاده از یافتن پرس‌ وجوهای پرتکرار

A data warehouse is a source for storing historical data to support decision making. Usually analytic queries take much time. To solve response time problem it should be materialized some views to answer all queries in minimum response time. There are many solutions for view selection problems. The most appropriate solution for view selection is materializing frequent queries. Previously posed ...

Space-Time Tradeoffs for Proximity Searching in Doubling Spaces

We consider approximate nearest neighbor searching in metric spaces of constant doubling dimension. More formally, we are given a set S of n points and an error bound ε > 0. The objective is to build a data structure so that given any query point q in the space, it is possible to efficiently determine a point of S whose distance from q is within a factor of (1 + ε) of the distance between q and...

Space-Efficient Data-Analysis Queries on Grids

We consider various data-analysis queries on two-dimensional points. We give new space/time tradeoffs over previous work on geometric queries such as dominance and rectangle visibility, and on semigroup and group queries such as sum, average, variance, minimum and maximum. We also introduce new solutions to queries less frequently considered in the literature such as two-dimensional quantiles, ...
