Optimal color range reporting in one dimension

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Color (or categorical) range reporting is a variant of the orthogonal range reporting problem in which every point in the input is assigned a emph{color}. While the answer to an orthogonal point reporting query contains all points in the query range Q, the answer to a color reporting query contains only distinct colors of points in Q. In this paper we describe an O(N)-space data structure that answers one-dimensional color reporting queries in optimal O(k+1) time, where k is the number of colors in the answer and N is the number of points in the data structure. Our result can be also dynamized and extended to the external memory model.
