Abstract
In the StrSort model [2], the input is given as a stream, e.g. a sequence of points, and an algorithm can perform (a) streaming and (b) sorting passes to process the stream. A streaming pass reads the input stream from left to right and writes an output stream, which is the input of the next pass. A sorting pass is a black box operation that sorts a stream according to some partial order. In this paper, we develop algorithms for two basic geometric problems in the StrSort model. At first, we propose a divide-and-conquer algorithm that computes the convex hull of a point set in 2D in O(log2 n) passes using O(1) memory. Then we give a StrSort algorithm to compute a (1+ε)-spanner for a point set in Rd for constant d and constant epsilon that uses O(logd-1 n) passes and O(log n) space. This result implies a (1+ε)-approximation of the Euclidean minimum spanning tree in Rd, for constant d and ε.
