In this paper we propose algorithms for solving a variety of geometric optimization problems on a stream of points in R2 or R3 . These problems include various extent measures (e.g...

Two decades ago, Megiddo and Dyer showed that linear programming in two and three dimensions (and subsequently any constant number of dimensions) can be solved in linear time. In ...
Selectivity estimation is an important step of query optimization in a database management system, and multidimensional histogram techniques have proved promising for selectivity ...
