Abstract
Given a convex polygon with vertices, the two-center problem is to find two congruent closed disks of minimum radius such that they completely cover . We propose an algorithm for this problem in the streaming setup, where the input stream is the vertices of the polygon in clockwise order. It produces a radius satisfying using space, where is the optimum solution. Next, we show that in non-streaming setup, we can improve the approximation factor by , maintaining the time complexity of the algorithm to , and using extra space in addition to the space required for storing the input.
