An Optimal Deterministic Algorithm for Geodesic Farthest-Point Voronoi Diagrams in Simple Polygons
Given in the plane a set S of m point sites in a simple polygon P of n vertices, we consider the problem of computing the geodesic farthest-point Voronoi diagram for S in P . It is known that the problem has an Ω ( n + m log m ) time lower bound. Previously, a randomized algorithm was proposed [Barb...

| Zusammenfassung: | Given in the plane a set
S
of
m
point sites in a simple polygon
P
of
n
vertices, we consider the problem of computing the geodesic farthest-point Voronoi diagram for
S
in
P
. It is known that the problem has an
Ω
(
n
+
m
log
m
)
time lower bound. Previously, a randomized algorithm was proposed [Barba, SoCG 2019] that solves the problem in
O
(
n
+
m
log
m
)
expected time. The previous best deterministic algorithms solve the problem in
O
(
n
log
log
n
+
m
log
m
)
time [Oh, Barba, and Ahn, SoCG 2016] or in
O
(
n
+
m
log
m
+
m
log
2
n
)
time [Oh and Ahn, SoCG 2017]. In this paper, we present a deterministic algorithm that takes
O
(
n
+
m
log
m
)
time, which is optimal. This answers affirmatively an open question posed by Mitchell in the Handbook of Computational Geometry two decades ago. |
