Dynamic location in an arrangement of line segments in the plane

Résumé

We describe in this paper an algorithm which dynamically maintains the trapezoidal map of an arrangement of line segments. This algorithm is a generalization of the Influence Graph data structure used by Boissonnat et al. to deal with the semi-dynamic case. Our complexity results are randomized, i.e. the insertion sequences are supposed to be evenly distributed among the n! possible sequences of $ segments, and when an object is deleted, we suppose that it can be any of the already inserted objects with the same probability. Under these assumptions the algorithm needs O(n+a) expected space, O(log n + a/n) expected insertion time, O( (1+ a/n)loglog n) expected deletion time and O(log n) time to locate any query point in the arrangement, where a is the current size of the arrangement and n the current number of segments.
