Abstract

Suppose <Ai,ci><A_i, \vec{c}_i> are planar (convex) H-polyhedra, that is, AiRni×2A_i \in \mathbb{R}^{n_i \times 2} and ciRni\vec{c}_i \in \mathbb{R}^{n_i}. Let Pi={xR2Aixci}P_i = \{\vec{x} \in \mathbb{R}^2 \mid A_i\vec{x} \leq \vec{c}_i \} and n=n1+n2n = n_1 + n_2. We present an O(nlogn)O(n \log n) algorithm for calculating an H-polyhedron <A,c><A, \vec{c}> with the smallest P={xR2Axc}P = \{\vec{x} \in \mathbb{R}^2 \mid A\vec{x} \leq \vec{c} \} such that P1P2PP_1 \cup P_2 \subseteq P.
