Talk:Range searching

acerb in the last paragraph seems like the wrong word. possibly the writer was German and was trying to say "beißend, ätzend," which seems kind of informal to me. Perhaps a formal equivalent would be primitive. If you want to be informal, then perhaps pitiful?


 * 1) Orthogonal Range Searching

Chazelle results also considers the general case of arbitrary constant dimension $d$. What is the result in this case? In the paper there are tables of results that seem to be about the complexity of the problem for $d=2$. After those tables, it says:
