摘要: We present a new algorithm for the two-line center problem (also called unweighted orthogonal L∞-fit problem): “Given set S of n points in real plane, find two closed strips whose union contains all and such that width wider strip is minimized.” An almost quadratic O(n2 log2n) solution given. The previously best known this has time complexity O(n2log5n) uses parametric search methodology. Our applies geometric structure, anchored lower upper chains, based on examining several constraint versions problem. chain structure interest by itself provides fast response to queries involve planar configurations points. does not assume general position input data
