Abstract: This paper introduces a new proximity graph, called the k-Semi-Yao graph (k-SYG), on a set P of points in mathbbRd, which is a supergraph of the k-nearest neighbor graph (k-NNG) of P. We provide a kinetic data structure (KDS) to maintain the k-SYG on moving points, where the trajectory of each point is a polynomial function whose degree is bounded by some constant. Our technique gives the first KDS for the theta graph (ie, 1-SYG) in mathbbRd. It generalizes and improves on previous work on maintaining the theta graph in mathbbR2. As an application, we use the kinetic k-SYG to provide the first KDS for maintenance of all the k-nearest neighbors in mathbbRd, for any kgeq1. Previous works considered the k=1 case only. Our KDS for all the 1-nearest neighbors is deterministic. The best previous KDS for all the 1-nearest neighbors in mathbbRd is randomized. Our structure and analysis are simpler and improve on this work for the k=1 case. We also provide a KDS for all the (1+epsilon)-nearest neighbors, which in fact gives better performance than previous KDS's for maintenance of all the exact 1-nearest neighbors. As another application, we present the first KDS for answering reverse k-nearest neighbor queries on moving points in mathbbRd, for any kgeq1.
