چکیده

The geodesic center of a simple polygon is a point inside the polygon which minimizes the maximum internal distance to any point in the polygon. We present an algorithm which calculates the geodesic center of a simple polygon with n vertices in time O(n log n).

Computing the L 1 Geodesic Diameter and Center of a Simple Polygon in Linear Time

In this paper, we show that the L1 geodesic diameter and center of a simple polygon can be computed in linear time. For the purpose, we focus on revealing basic geometric properties of the L1 geodesic balls, that is, the metric balls with respect to the L1 geodesic distance. More specifically, in this paper we show that any family of L1 geodesic balls in any simple polygon has Helly number two,...

The Geodesic 2-center Problem in a Simple Polygon

The geodesic k-center problem in a simple polygon with n vertices consists in the following. Find a set S of k points in the polygon that minimizes the maximum geodesic distance from any point of the polygon to its closest point in S. In this paper, we focus on the case where k = 2 and present an exact algorithm that returns a geodesic 2-center in O(n log n) time.

Computing the Constrained Euclidean, Geodesic and Link Centre of a Simple Polygon with Applications

In the manufacturing industry, nding a suitable location for the pin gate (the pin gate is the point from which liquid is poured or injected into a mold) is a diicult problem when viewed from the uid dynamics of the molding process. However, experience has shown that a suitable pin gate location possesses several geometric characteristics, namely the distance from the pin gate to any point in t...

Computing Geodesic Furthest Neighbors in Simple Polygons

An algorithm is presented for computing geodesic furthest neighbors for all the vertices of a simple polygon, where geodesic denotes the fact that distance between two points of the polygon is defined as the length of an Euclidean shortest path connecting them within the polygon. The algorithm runs in O(n log n) time and uses O(n) space; n being the number of vertices of the polygon. As a corol...

L_1 Geodesic Farthest Neighbors in a Simple Polygon and Related Problems

In this paper, we investigate the L1 geodesic farthest neighbors in a simple polygon P , and address several fundamental problems related to farthest neighbors. Given a subset S ⊆ P , an L1 geodesic farthest neighbor of p ∈ P from S is one that maximizes the length of L1 shortest path from p in P . Our list of problems include: computing the diameter, radius, center, farthestneighbor Voronoi di...
