Abstract

We define the notion of infimum of a set of points with respect to the second order cone. This problem can be showed to be equivalent to the minimum ball containing a set of balls problem and to the maximum intersecting ball problem, as well as others. We present a dual algorithm which can be viewed as an extension of the simplex method to solve this problem.
