Abstract

Given a set of nn colored points with kk colors in the plane, we study the problem of computing a maximum-width rainbow-bisecting empty annulus (of objects specifically axis-parallel square, axis-parallel rectangle and circle) problem. We call a region rainbow if it contains at least one point of each color. The maximum-width rainbow-bisecting empty annulus problem asks to find an annulus AA of a particular shape with maximum possible width such that AA does not contain any input points and it bisects the input point set into two parts, each of which is a rainbow. We compute a maximum-width rainbow-bisecting empty axis-parallel square, axis-parallel rectangular and circular annulus in O(n3)O(n^3) time using O(n)O(n) space, in O(k2n2logn)O(k^2n^2\log n) time using O(nlogn)O(n\log n) space and in O(n3)O(n^3) time using O(n2)O(n^2) space respectively.
