Abstract: We give fast randomized and deterministic parallel methods for constructing convex hulls in IR d , for any fixed d. Our methods are for the weakest shared-memory model, the EREW PRAM, and have optimal work bounds (with high probability for the randomized methods). In particular, we show that the convex hull of n points in IR d can be constructed in O(logn) time using O(n log n + n bd=2c ) work, with high probability. We also show that it can be constructed deterministically in O(log 2 ... (Update)

...work and O(log 3 n) paallel time. We can alternatively use the random ized parallel algorithms of Reif and Sen [28] or by Amaro et al. [1], in both two and three dimensions. Both of these randomized parallel Delaunay triangulation algorithms have expected parallel running...

...can be developed for computing the intersection of n congruent balls in 3 space. This has been answered in the affirmative by Amato et al. [34], following a series of near linear time but weaker deterministic algorithms [60, 206, 237] Amato et al. derandomized the Clarkson...
