The Spatial Skyline Queries

Summary: Introduces spatial skyline queries, whose distance-based dominance varies with the geometry of the query-point set. Convex-hull and Voronoi methods enable efficient static and streaming algorithms, avoiding exhaustive point-pair comparisons. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
