Abstract

In this work, we consider the problem of finding the closest pair (in L"1 metric) of points in an orthogonal query rectangle. Given a set of n static points on a UxU grid, we preprocess these points into a data structure of size O(mf(m)log^2m) that can be queried in time O((g(m)+loglogm)log^3m), for m=O(nlogU) and (i) f(m)=O(1) and g(m)=O(log^@em); (ii) f(m)=O(loglogm) and g(m)=O(loglogm); (iii) f(m)=O(log^@em) and g(m)=O(1).
