    Abstract

    We prove the existence of linear size binary space partitions for sets of objects in the plane under certain conditions. In particular, we construct linear size binary space partitions for sets of fat objects, for sets of line segments where the ratio between the lengths of the longest and shortest segment is bounded by a constant, and for homothetic objects. For all cases we also show how to turn the existence proofs into efficient algorithms.
