Abstract

Let S be a set of n points in D-dimensional space, where D is a constant, and let k be an integer between 1 and (/sub 2//sup n/) An algorithm is given that computes the k closest pairs in the set S in O(nlogn+k) time, using O(n+k) space. The algorithm fits in the algebraic decision tree model and is, therefore, optimal.
