Abstract
While most research focuses on nearest neighbor (NN) and reverse nearest neighbor (RNN) queries, the furthest neighbor (FN) and reverse furthest neighbor (RFN) query are attracting more and more attention. In this paper, we give new ideas on the FN/RFN query issue. The nearest Voronoi diagram-based (VD-based) algorithms to process FN and RFN queries on 2-dimensional location data on the fly is proposed. These algorithms are especially useful for applications which have VD as their fundamental structure. Instead of constructing a new furthest neighbor diagram (FD), we aim to fully utilize the properties of VD. Besides, we implemented our new methods as well as the most promising competing methods which have been previously proposed. The results consistently indicate that our new algorithms outperform competitors.
