We study trade-offs between the query time and the additional space used by indexing data structures that support 2D-RMQs. Using a novel technique-the discrepancy properties of Fibonacci lattices-we give an indexing data structure for 2D-RMQs that uses $O(N/c)$ bits additional space with $O(c \log c(\log \log c)^{2})$ query time, for any parameter $c, 4 \leq c \leq N$. Also, when the entries of the input matrix are from $\{0,1\}$, we show that the query time can be improved to $O(c\log c)$ with the same space usage.}, identifier = {06086324}, }
