A Space-efficient Algorithm for Finding the Connected Components of Rectangles in the Plane

We present an algorithm for determining the connectivity of a set of N rectangles in the plane, a problem central to avoiding aliasing in VLSI design rule checkers. Previous algorithms for this problem either worked slowly with a small amount of primary memory space, or worked quickly but used more...
