Abstract: | We design compact and responsive kinetic data structures for detecting collisions between n convex fat objects in 3-dimensional space that can have arbitrary sizes. Our main results are:
(i) |
If the objects are 3-dimensional balls that roll on a plane, then we can detect collisions with a KDS of size O(nlog n) that can handle events in O(log 2
n) time. This structure processes O(n
2) events in the worst case, assuming that the objects follow constant-degree algebraic trajectories.

(ii) |
If the objects are convex fat 3-dimensional objects of constant complexity that are free-flying in ℝ3, then we can detect collisions with a KDS of O(nlog 6
n) size that can handle events in O(log 7
n) time. This structure processes O(n
2) events in the worst case, assuming that the objects follow constant-degree algebraic trajectories. If the objects have similar
sizes then the size of the KDS becomes O(n) and events can be handled in O(log n) time.
