Efficient Reverse k Nearest Neighbor evaluation for hierarchical index

Siddharth Dawar, Vikram Goyal, Debajyoti Bera

"Reverse Nearest Neighbor" query finds applications in decision support systems, profile-based marketing, emergency services etc. In this paper, we point out a few flaws in the branch and bound algorithms proposed earlier for computing monochromatic RkNN queries over data points stored in hierarchical index. We give suitable counter examples to validate our claims and propose a correct algorithm for the corresponding problem. We show that our algorithm is correct by identifying necessary conditions behind correctness of algorithms for this problem.
