Abstract

In this note, we outline a very simple algorithm for the following problem: Given a set S of n points p1,p2,p3,…,pn in the plane, we have O(n2) segments implicitly defined on pairs of these n points. For each point pi, find a segment from this set of implicitly defined segments that is farthest from pi. The time complexity of our algorithm is in O(nh+nlogn), where n is the number of input points, and h is the number of vertices on the convex hull of S.
