A Scalable Algorithm for Maximizing Range Sum in Spatial Databases
Summary: Introduces ExactMaxRS, an I/O-optimal external-memory algorithm for maximizing weighted-point coverage by a fixed rectangle, bringing the computational-geometry problem to scalable spatial databases. Also gives ApproxMaxCRS for circular regions, with provable bounds and ~100× speedups in experiments. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
