Finding k-Dominant Skylines in High Dimensional Space

Summary: Introduces k-dominant skylines to curb high-dimensional skyline growth via k-dominance (p ≥ q in k dimensions and strictly better in at least one). Proves non-transitivity of k-dominant skylines and presents several new algorithms and variants with extensive experiments on real and synthetic data. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
