Planar lower envelope of monotone polygonal chains

•An algorithm to find the lower envelope of monotone polygonal chains is proposed.•Simpler than known methods and requires no complex data structures.•Applies to output-sensitive construction of line segment lower envelope. A simple linear search algorithm running in O(n+mk) time is proposed for con...
