title = "Kinetic collision detection for convex fat objects",
abstract = "We design compact and responsive kinetic data structures for detecting collisions between n convex fat objects in 3-dimensional space that can have arbitrary sizes. Our main results are: (i) If the objects are 3-dimensional balls that roll on a plane, then we can detect collisions with a KDS of size O(n log n) that can handle events in O(log n) time. This structure processes O(n2) events in the worst case, assuming that the objects follow constant-degree algebraic trajectories. (ii) If the objects are convex fat 3-dimensional objects of constant complexity that are free-flying in R3, then we can detect collisions with a KDS of O(n log6 n) size that can handle events in O(log6 n) time. This structure processes O(n2) events in the worst case, assuming that the objects follow constant-degree algebraic trajectories. If the objects have similar sizes then the size of the KDS becomes O(n) and events can be handled in O(1) time.",
