Space-partitioning structures
  • Assume partition at only dimensions such that
  • An MBR then contains sides of length 0.5 and sides of length 1
  • Maximum distance of any point from an MBR, therefore, is
  • does not depend on
  • Hence, at some dimensionality,
  • Volume of MS of MBR extended by is then
