Abstract
Proving superlogarithmic data structure lower bounds in the static group model has been a fundamental challenge in computational geometry since the early '80s. We prove a polynomial (nΩ(1)) lower bound for an explicit range counting problem of n3 convex polygons in R2 (each with nÕ(1) facets/semialgebraic complexity), against linear storage arithmetic data structures in the group model. Our construction and analysis are based on a combination of techniques in Diophantine approximation, pseudorandomness, and compressed sensing-in particular, on the existence and partial derandomization of optimal binary compressed sensing matrices in the polynomial sparsity regime (k = n1-δ). As a byproduct, this establishes a (logarithmic) separation between compressed sensing matrices and the stronger RIP property.
