  • Abstract
    Comments on the paper by Bentley and Ottman (ibid., vol.28, p.643-7, 1979) which presents an algorithm for reporting all K intersections among N planar line segments in 0((N+K) log N) time and 0(N+K) storage. With a small modification that storage requirement can be reduced to 0(N) with no increase in computational time, which is important because K can grow as 0(N2).
