CGAL 5.3 - Interval Skip List
CGAL::Interval_skip_list< Interval > Class Template Reference

#include <CGAL/Interval_skip_list.h>

Definition

The class Interval_skip_list is a dynamic data structure that allows to find all members of a set of intervals that overlap a point.

Implementation

The insertion and deletion of a segment in the interval skip list takes expected time \( O(\log^2 n)\), if the segment endpoints are chosen from a continuous distribution. A stabbing query takes expected time \( O(\log n)\), and finding all intervals that contain a point takes expected time \( O(\log n + k)\), where \( k\) is the number of intervals.

The implementation is based on the code developed by Eric N. Hansen.

Examples:
Interval_skip_list/intervals.cpp, and Interval_skip_list/isl_terrain.cpp.
