Abstract

Let SS be a set of nn points in the plane, (S)\wp(S) be the set of all simple polygons crossing SS, γP\gamma_P be the maximum angle of polygon P(S)P \in \wp(S) and θ=minP(S)γP\theta =min_{P\in\wp(S)} \gamma_P. In this paper, we prove that θ2π2πr.m\theta\leq 2\pi-\frac{2\pi}{r.m} where mm and rr are the number of edges and inner points of the convex hull of SS, respectively. We also propose an algorithm to construct a polygon with the said upper bound on its angles. Constructing a simple polygon with angular constraint on a given set of points in the plane can be used for path planning in robotics. Moreover, we improve our upper bound on θ\theta and prove that this is tight for r=1r=1.
