Abstract
We present output sensitive techniques for the generalized reporting versions of the planar range maxima problem and the planar range convex hull problem. Our solutions are in the pointer machine model, for orthogonal range queries on a static point set. We solve the planar range maxima problem for two-sided, three-sided and four-sided queries. We achieve a query time of O(logn + c) using O(n) space for the two-sided case, where n denotes the number of stored points and c the number of colors reported. For the three-sided case, we achieve query time O(log2 n + clogn) using O(n) space while for four-sided queries we answer queries in O(log3 n + clog2 n) using O(nlogn) space. For the planar range convex hull problem, we provide a solution that answers queries in O(log2 n + clogn) time, using O(nlog2 n) space.
