Abstract

A set A of n points in the plane has to be stored in such a way that for any query triangle t the number of points of A inside t can be computed efficiently. For this problem a solution is presented with &Ogr;(√n log n) query time, &Ogr; (n log n) space and &Ogr;(n3/2 log n) preprocessing time. The constants in the asymptotic bounds are small, and the method is easy to implement.
