An Optimal and Progressive Algorithm for Skyline Queries

Summary: BBS: a branch-and-bound progressive skyline algorithm using NN search; IO-optimal with a single R-tree access and no duplicates. Analysis and experiments show BBS outperforms NN by orders of magnitude across distributions and supports multiple skyline queries. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
