Abstract

Given a point set P⊆R2, a subset Q⊆ P is an ε-kernel of P if for every slab W containing Q, the (1+ε)-expansion of W also contains P. We present a data-stream algorithm for maintaining an ε-kernel of a stream of points in R2 that uses O(1/√ ε) space and takes O(log (1/ε)) amortized time to process each point. This is the first space-optimal data-stream algorithm for this problem.
