We present an external-memory algorithm to compute a well-separated pair decomposition (WSPD) of a given point set S in d in O(sort(N)) I/Os, where N is the number of points in S and sort(N) denotes the I/O-complexity of sorting N items. (Throughout this paper we assume that the dimension d is fixed.) As applications of the WSPD, we show how to compute a linear-size t-spanner for S within the same I/O-bound and how to solve the K-nearest-neighbour and K-closest-pair problems in O(sort(KN)) and O(sort(N+K)) I/Os, respectively.
