Efficient algorithms for the largest rectangle problem

TL;DR: Some efficient algorithms for the largest rectangle problem are presented that run in O ( nlogn + K ) time for all three problems and the worst-case running time is O (n 2 ) time.

Location of the Largest Empty Rectangle among Arbitrary Obstacles

TL;DR: This paper outlines the following generalization of the classical maximal-empty-rectangle problem: given n arbitrarily-oriented non-intersecting line segments of finite length on a rectangular floor, locate an empty isothetic rectangle of maximum area and the earlier restriction on isotheticity of the obstacles is relaxed.

The Bichromatic Rectangle Problem in High Dimensions.

TL;DR: This work shows how to find an axis-aligned hyperrectangle that contains no red points and as many blue points as possible and proves asymptotically tight bounds on this quantity in the worst case.

An in-place min-max priority search tree

TL;DR: The min-max priority search tree is introduced which is a combination of a binary search tree and a min- max heap and all the standard queries which can be done in two separate versions of apriority search tree can be performed within the same time bounds as for the original prioritysearch tree.

On finding an empty staircase polygon of largest area (width) in a planar point-set

TL;DR: An algorithm for identifying a maximal empty-staircase-polygon (MESP) of largest area, among a set of n points on a rectangular floor, is presented and an improved algorithm is developed that identifies the largest MESP in O(n2) time and space.

Voronoi Diagrams in L1 (L∞) Metrics with 2-Dimensional Storage Applications

TL;DR: It is shown in this paper that there exists a natural isometry between the L_1 and L_\infty metrics, which implies the existence of a polynomial time algorithm for the OPP in one metric and the existence for the same problem in the other metric.

Generalization of heaps and its applications

Amnon Naamad
TL;DR: A data structure called "generalized heap," which is designed primarily to maintain the solutions of a certain group of problems while the data set is changing over time, is introduced.
