Boosting Spatial Pruning: On Optimal Pruning of MBRs

Summary: Dominance-based pruning criterion for multi-dimensional MBRs: decide when A is definitely closer to query R than B, outperforming min/max-distance heuristics. Also handles partial domination and incremental, conservative estimates of total dominators, with strong empirical gains. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
