ABSTRACT: Let P be a set of npoints in two dimensional plane. For each
point , we locate an axis- parallel unit square having one particular side passing
through p and enclosing the maximum number of points
from P. Considering all
points , such nsquares can be reported in O(nlogn)time. We show that this result can be used to
(i) locate m>(2)axis-parallel unit squares which are pairwise
disjoint and they together enclose the maximum number of points from P (if exists) and (ii) find the smallest
axis-parallel square enclosing at least k points of P , .
