Dynamic Density Based Clustering

Summary: Dynamic clustering for density-based DBSCAN under insertions/deletions; rho-approximate DBSCAN shares the same fully dynamic hardness. A small relaxation (the sandwich guarantee) yields near-constant updates and two orders of magnitude speedups over prior approaches. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
