Abstract: We show that the wavefront approach to Voronoi diagrams (a deterministic line-sweep algorithm
that does not use geometric transform) can be generalized to distance measures more general than the Euclidean
metric. In fact, we provide the first worst-case optimal (O(n log n) time, O(n) space) algorithm that is valid for
the full class of what has been called nice metrics in the plane. This also solves the previously open problem of
providing an O(n log n)-time plane-sweep algorithm for arbitrary... (Update)
