Abstract

We demonstrate that a resolution-r PR quadtree containing n points has, in the worst case, at most nodes. This captures the fact that as n tends towards 4r, the number of nodes in a PR quadtree quickly approaches O(n). This is a more precise estimation of the worst case space requirement of a PR quadtree than has been attempted before.
