Abstract: We present several efficient dynamic data structures for point-enclosure queries, involving convex fat objects in R 2 or R 3 . Our planar structures are actually fitted for a more general class of objects --- (fi; ffi)-covered objects --- which are not necessarily convex, see definition below. These structures are more efficient than alternative known structures, because they exploit the fatness of the objects. We then apply these structures to obtain efficient solutions to two...

.... for this case; previously, only a constant factor approximation result was known, with a simple algorithm described by Efrat et al. [11] (see Section 2) Our result thus extends Hochbaum and Maass by enlarging the class of objects with PTASs. 2 Preliminaries In the sequel,...
