Abstract

For the \textsc{Minkowski Sum Selection} problem with linear objective functions, we obtain the following results: (1) optimal O(nlogn)O(n\log n) time algorithms for λ=1\lambda=1; (2) O(nlog2n)O(n\log^2 n) time deterministic algorithms and expected O(nlogn)O(n\log n) time randomized algorithms for any fixed λ>1\lambda>1. For the \textsc{Minkowski Sum Finding} problem with linear objective functions or objective functions of the form f(x,y)=byaxf(x,y)=\frac{by}{ax}, we construct optimal O(nlogn)O(n\log n) time algorithms for any fixed λ1\lambda\geq 1.
