Abstract

Let P be a set of n points in the plane. Here we present an efficient algorithm to compute the smallest square containing at least k points of P for large values of k. The worst case time complexity of the algorithm is O(n + (n - k) log2(n - k)) using O(n) space which is the best known bound for worst case time complexity.
