    Abstract

    There is a high demand of space-efficient algorithms in built-in or embedded
    softwares. In this paper, we consider the problem of designing space-efficient
    algorithms for computing the maximum area empty rectangle (MER) among a set of
    points inside a rectangular region $\cal R$ in 2D. We first propose an inplace
    algorithm for computing the priority search tree with a set of $n$ points in
    $\cal R$ using $O(\log n)$ extra bit space in $O(n\log n)$ time. It supports
    all the standard queries on priority search tree in $O(\log^2n)$ time.

    Abstract

    The coverage problem in wireless sensor networks deals with the problem of
    covering a region or parts of it with sensors. In this paper, we address the
    problem of covering a set of line segments in sensor networks. A line segment `
    is said to be covered if it intersects the sensing regions of at least one
    sensor distributed in that region. We show that the problem of ?nding the
    minimum number of sensors needed to cover each member in a given set of line
    segments in a rectangular area is NP-hard.
