It is also shown that a number of problems concerning objects in arbitrary space can be transformed into problems on a grid by using another form of normalization. In this way new solutions are obtained for the multi-dimensional maximal elements and rectangle intersection problem that are more efficient than previous solutions.}, IDANR = {LiTH-IDA-R-86-37}
