Lower bounds for set intersection queries
1995
Algorithmica
We have a collection of initially empty sets and would like to process an intermixed sequence of n updates (insertions into and deletions from individual sets) and q queries (reporting the intersection ...
We consider the following set intersection reporting problem. ...
If the answers to all the queries were to be obtained by unioning together singleton sets, then the lower bound would follow. ...

In the semialgebraic range searching problem, we are to preprocess n points in ℝ^d s.t. for any query range from a family of constant complexity semialgebraic sets, all the points intersecting the range ...
We give the first nontrivial lower bounds for semilagebraic range searching and related problems. ...

Lower Bounds for Sorted Geometric Queries in the I/O Model
[chapter]
2012
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
This bound is unlikely to be optimal and in fact we can show that, for a particular class of "persistence-based" data structures, the space lower bound can be improved to Ω(N 2 /M O(1) ). ...
Both these lower bounds are a first step towards understanding the complexity of sorted geometric query problems. ...
We would like to thank Timothy Chan for bringing the type of problems we study in this paper to our attention. ...

Two-Dimensional Range Diameter Queries
[chapter]
2012
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We provide evidence for the hardness of designing space-efficient data structures that support range diameter queries by giving a reduction from the set intersection problem. ...
We strengthen the evidence by giving a lower bound for an important subproblem arising in solutions to the range diameter problem: computing the diameter of two convex polygons, that are separated by a ...

Improved range searching lower bounds
2012
Proceedings of the 2012 symposuim on Computational Geometry - SoCG '12
We prove our lower bounds by constructing a hard input set and query set, and then invoking Chazelle and Rosenberg's [CGTA'96] general theorem on the complexity of navigation in the pointer machine. ...
For the group model, we show that input sets and query sets that are hard for range reporting in the pointer machine (i.e. by Chazelle and Rosenberg's theorem), are also hard for dynamic range searching ...
We also presented the first lower bounds for approximate range reporting in the pointer machine. ...

Our main results are tight lower bounds on m(Q) for a few specific classes of queries (namely, intersection queries, monotone queries and NP queries). ...
