N2 - In this paper we present an algorithm for maintaining a geometric spanner over a dynamic set of points S. For a set S of points in Rd, a t-spanner is a sparse graph on the points of S such that there is a path in the spanner between any pair of points whose total length is at most t times the Euclidean distance between the points. In this paper we present the first fully dynamic algorithm for maintaining a geometric spanner whose update time depends solely on the number of points in S. In particular, we show how to maintain a (1 + ε)-spanner with O(n/εd) edges, where points can be inserted to S in an amortized update time of O(log n) and deleted from S in an amortized update time of ?O(n1/3).
