Abstract

In this note we show that it is extremely easy to answer dominance queries in three dimensions using only range minima routine (and a binary tree). The algorithm after preprocessing takes O(logn+S) time, where S is the size of output (after O(nlogn) time for pre-processing). The algorithm can also be used to answer 5-sided range queries, in same time bounds.
