Abstract
Givenn hyperplanes inEd, a (1/r)-cutting is a collection of simplices with disjoint interiors, which together coverEd and such that the interior of each simplex intersects at mostn/r hyperplanes. We present a deterministic algorithm for computing a (1/r)-cutting ofO(rd) size inO(nrd?1) time. If we require the incidences between the hyperplanes and the simplices of the cutting to be provided, then the algorithm is optimal. Our method is based on a hierarchical construction of cuttings, which also provides a simple optimal data structure for locating a point in an arrangement of hyperplanes. We mention several other applications of our result, e.g., counting segment intersections, Hopcroft's line/point incidence problem, linear programming in fixed dimension.
