This paper introduces the concept of precision-sensitive algorithms, analogous to the well-known output-sensitive algorithms. We exploit this idea in studying the complexity of the 3-dimensional Euclidean shortest path problem. Specifically, we analyze an incremental approximation approach and show that this approach yields an asymptotic improvement of running time. By using an optimization technique to improve paths on fixed edge sequences, we modify this algorithm to guarantee a relative… CONTINUE READING
