Revenge of the Dog: Queries on Voronoi Diagrams of Moving Points

Résumé

Suppose we are given $n$ moving postmen described by their motion equations $p_i(t) = s_i + v_it,$ $i=1,\ldots, n$, where $s_i \in \R^2$ is the position of the $i$'th postman at time $t=0$, and $v_i \in \R^2$ is his velocity. The problem we address is how to preprocess the postmen data so as to be able to efficiently answer two types of nearest neighbor queries. The first one asks ``who is the nearest postman at time $t_q$ to a dog located at point $s_q$?''. In the second type a query dog is located a point $s_q$ at time $t_q$, its velocity is $v_q>|v_i|$ (for all $i=1, \ldots , n$), and we want to know which postman the dog can catch first. We present two solutions to these problems, with tradeoff between preprocessing time and query time. Both solutions use deterministic data structures.
