Analysis of search time for k-d trees |
- Range can be thought of as two vertical lines and two horizontal lines
|
- Consider one vertical line
|
|
- At root (assuming there is a vertical split), either the left subtree or the right subtree is traversed
|
|
- The next level children have splits on y-dimension
|
|
- Hence, both subtrees may be traversed
|
|
- This yields the recurrence
