Summary: We present a succinct representation of a set of $$n$$ points on an $$n\times n$$ grid using $$n\lg n + o(n\lg n)$$ bits to support orthogonal range counting in $$O(\lg n /\lg\lg n)$$ time, and range reporting in $$O(k\lg n/\lg\lg n)$$ time, where $$k$$ is the size of the output. This achieves an improvement on query time by a factor of $$\lg\lg n$$ upon the previous result of G. Navarro and V. Mäkinen [Theor. Comput. Sci. 387, No. 3, 332–347 (2007; Zbl 1144.68023)], while using essentially the information-theoretic minimum space. Our data structure not only can be used as a key component in solutions to the general orthogonal range search problem to save storage cost, but also has applications in text indexing. In particular, we apply it to improve two previous space-efficient text indexes that support substring search [Y. F. Chien et al., “Geometric Burrows-Wheeler transform: linking range searching and text indexing”, in: Proceedings of the 2008 IEEE data compression conference, DCC 2008. Los Alamitos: IEEE. 252–261 (2008), http://kuscholarworks.ku.edu/dspace/bitstream/1808/7231/1/CHS08.geometricbw.pdf] and position-restricted substring search [Navarro and Mäkinen, loc. cit.]. We also use it to extend previous results on succinct representations of sequences of small integers, and to design succinct data structures supporting certain types of orthogonal range query in the plane.
