Abstract:
We consider the planar two-center problem for a convex polygon: given a convex polygon in the plane, find two congruent disks of minimum radius whose union contains the polygon. We present an $O(n\log n)$-time algorithm for the two-center problem for a convex polygon, where $n$ is the number of vertices of the polygon. This improves upon the previous best algorithm for the problem.
