On the Optimality of Clustering Properties of Space Filling Curves
Summary: Characterizes the clustering number (average count of contiguous curve segments per query region) for a broad class of space‑filling curves and proves the first non‑trivial lower bounds on clustering. Resolves Jagadish's 1997 open problem on SFC optimality. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
