Faster output-sensitive skyline computation algorithm

Published: 01 December 2014 Publication History

Abstract

We present the second output-sensitive skyline computation algorithm which is faster than the only existing output-sensitive skyline computation algorithm [1] in worst case because our algorithm does not rely on the existence of a linear time procedure for finding medians.
