Abstract
We give the first fully compressed representation of a set of $m$ points on an $n \times n$ grid, taking $H+o(H)$ bits of space, where $H=\lg {n^2 \choose m}$ is the entropy of the set. This representation supports range counting, range reporting, and point selection queries, with a performance that is comparable to that of uncompressed structures and that improves upon the only previous compressed structure. Operating within entropy-bounded space opens a new line of research on an otherwise well-studied area, and is becoming extremely important for handling large datasets.
