Let $R \cup B$ be a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^2$, and let $k \in 1..n$. Our goal is to compute a line that "best" separates the "red" points $R$ from the "blue" points $B$ with at most $k$ outliers. We present an efficient…

We address the problem of computing the minimum number of triangles to separate a set of blue points from a set of red points in $\mathbb{R}^2$. A set of triangles is a \emph{separator} of one color from the other if every point of that…
