K-D Trees Are Better when Cut on the Longest Side
We show that a popular variant of the well known k-d tree data structure satisfies an important packing lemma. This variant is a binary spatial partitioning tree T defined on a set...

Hardness of Nearest Neighbor under L-infinity
Recent years have seen a significant increase in our understanding of high-dimensional nearest neighbor search (NNS) for distances like the 1 and 2 norms. By contrast, our underst...
