Abstract
Rectangle intersections involving rectilinearly-oriented (hyper-) rectangles in d-dimensional real space are examined from two points of view. First, a data structure is developed which is efficient in time and space and allows us to report all d-dimensional rectangles stored which intersect a d-dimensional query rectangle. Second, in Part II, a slightly modified version of this new data structure is applied to report all intersecting pairs of rectangles of a given set. This approach yields a solution which is optimal in time and space for planar rectangles and reasonable in higher dimensions.
