On Polygons Excluding Point Sets
Abstract
By a polygonization of a finite point set in the plane we understand a simple polygon having as the set of its vertices. Let and be sets of blue and red points, respectively, in the plane such that is in general position, and the convex hull of contains interior blue points and interior red points. Hurtado et al. found sufficient conditions for the existence of a blue polygonization that encloses all red points. We consider the dual question of the existence of a blue polygonization that excludes all red points . We show that there is a minimal number , which is polynomial in , such that one can always find a blue polygonization excluding all red points, whenever . Some other related problems are also considered.
