On the time complexity for circumscribing a convex polygon

چکیده
A recent article "Circumscribing a Convex Polygon by a Polygon of Fewer Sides with Minimal Area Addition" by Dori and Ben-Bassat, Comput. Vision Graph. Image Process. 24, 1983, 131-159, raised several interesting questions including the time complexity of their algorithm. In this paper, the time complexity on circumscribing an n-gon by an m-gon, where m < n, is analyzed to be O(n lg n). © 1985 Academic Press, Inc.

Hamiltonian Triangulations and Circumscribing Polygons
Let Σ = { S1 , . . . , Sn } be a finite set of disjoint line segments in the plane. We conjecture that its visibility graph, Vis(Σ), is hamiltonian. In fact, we make the stronger conjecture that Vis(Σ) has a hamiltonian cycle whose embedded version is a simple polygon (i.e., its boundary edges are non-crossing visibility segments). We call such a simple polygon a spanning polygon of Σ. Existenc...
متن کاملAn Optimal Parallel Algorithm for Finding the SmallestEnclosing
In this paper, we consider the problem of nding the smallest triangle circumscribing a convex polygon with n edges. We shall show that this can be done in O(p n) time by the eecient data partition schemes and the proper set mapping and comparison operations using what so called p n-decomposition technique. Since the nontrivial operation on MCC requires (p n), the time complexity is optimal with...
متن کاملMinimum Area All-flush Triangles Circumscribing a Convex Polygon
In this paper, we consider the problem of computing the minimum area triangle that circumscribes a given n-sided convex polygon touching edge-to-edge. In other words, we compute the minimum area triangle that is the intersection of 3 half-planes out of n half-planes defined by a given convex polygon. Previously, O(n logn) time algorithms were known which are based on the technique for computing...
متن کاملAlgorithm for finding the largest inscribed rectangle in polygon
In many industrial and non-industrial applications, it is necessary to identify the largest inscribed rectangle in a certain shape. The problem is studied for convex and non-convex polygons. Another criterion is the direction of the rectangle: axis aligned or general. In this paper a heuristic algorithm is presented for finding the largest axis aligned inscribed rectangle in a general polygon. ...
متن کاملSweep Line Algorithm for Convex Hull Revisited
Convex hull of some given points is the intersection of all convex sets containing them. It is used as primary structure in many other problems in computational geometry and other areas like image processing, model identification, geographical data systems, and triangular computation of a set of points and so on. Computing the convex hull of a set of point is one of the most fundamental and imp...
