Abstract:

Let P = fP 1; P 2; : : : ; Pm g be a set of m convex polygons in the plane with a total number of n vertices, and for 1 i m, let w i 2 R be a weight associated with P i. The weighted distance between a line ` and a polygon P i is given by d(`; P i) = min p2P i;q2 ` d(p; q):w i, where d(p; q) is the Euclidean distance between p and q. We want to compute a line ` that minimizes the maximium distance between ` and the polygons of P. We present an O(nff(n) log 3
