Abstract

The Maximizing Range Sum problem is widely applied in facility locating, spatial data mining, and clustering problems. The current most efficient method solves it in time O(n log n) for a particular given rectangle size. This is inefficient in cases where the queries are frequently called with different parameters. Thus, in this paper, we propose an index-based method that solves the maxRS query in time O(log n) for any given query. Besides, our method can be used to solve the k-enclosing problem in time O(1) for any given k value if indexes are sorted according to the optimizing criteria, or O((n − k)2k + n log n) without using any index, which is comparative to the current most efficient work.
