Abstract

We present a linear-space algorithm for handling the {\emthree-dimensional dominance reporting problem}: given a set $S$ of $n$
three-dimensional points, design a data structure for $S$ so that the
points in $S$ which dominate a given query point can be reported quickly.
Under the variation of the RAM model introduced by Fredman and
Willard~\cite{Fredman94}, our algorithm achieves $O(\log n/\log\log n+f)$
query time, where $f$ is the number of points reported. Extensions to
higher dimensions are also reported.
