Line 60:
The ratio of the worst case number of events that can occur when the structure is advanced to <math>t=\infty</math> to the worst case number of "necessary changes" to the data structure. The definition of "necessary changes" is problem dependent. For example, in the case of a kinetic data structure maintaining the kinetic hull of a set of moving points, the number of necessary changes would be the number of times the kinetic hull changes as time is advanced to <math>t=\infty</math>. A kinetic data structure is said to be efficient if this ratio is small.
==Types of
The performance of a certain kinetic data structure may be analyzed for certain types of trajectories. Typically, the following types of trajectories are considered:
*'''Affine''':(Linear functions) <math>f(t)=at+b</math>
