Abstract

This work offers some improvements in the currentdistance-based indexing techniques. An optimal similaritysearch algorithm that is adopted from vector-based indexingis shown to be also optimal for distance-based indices.Further similarity between the two types of indexingis revealed, leading to a general description of searchstructures. A probabilistic analysis of distance-based treeindices is also shown to be possible, allowing direct comparisonsof structures without the need for extensive experimentation.This analysis will lend itself to future improvedindex construction algorithms.
