Abstract

We show the power of posets in computational geometry by solving several problems posed on a set S of n points in the plane: (1) find the k rectilinear nearest neighbors to every point of S (extendable to higher dimensions), (2) enumerate the k largest (smallest) rectilinear distances in decreasing (increasing) order among the points of S, (3) given a distance δ > 0 report all the pairs of points that belong to S and are of rectilinear distance δ or more (less), covering k≥ n/2 points of S by rectilinear (4) and circular (5) concentric rings, and (6) given a number k≥ n/2d ecide whether a query rectangle contains k points or less.
