Fully dynamic hierarchical diameter k-clustering and k-center

We develop dynamic data structures for maintaining a hierarchical k-center clustering when the points come from a discrete space $\{1,\ldots,Δ\}^d$. Our first data structure is for the low dimensional setting, i.e., d is a constant, and processes insertions, deletions and cluster representative queries in $\log^{O(1)} (Δn)$ time, where $n$ is the current size of the point set. For the high dimensional case and an integer parameter $\ell > 1$, we provide a randomized data structure that maintains an $O(d \ell)$-approximation. The amortized expected insertion time is $O(d^2 \ell \log n \log Δ)$. The amortized expected deletion time is $O(d^2 n^{1/\ell} \log^2 n \log Δ)$. At any point of time, with probability at least $1-1/n$, the data structure can correctly answer all queries for cluster representatives in $O(d \ell \log n \log Δ)$ time per query.
