Abstract

Let PP be a set of nn points in R2\mathbb{R}^2. For a given positive integer w<nw<n, our objective is to find a set CPC \subset P of points, such that CH(PC)CH(P\setminus C) has the smallest number of vertices and CC has at most nwn-w points. We discuss the O(wn3)O(wn^3) time dynamic programming algorithm for monotone decomposable functions (MDF) introduced for finding a class of optimal convex ww-gons, with vertices chosen from PP, and improve it to O(n3logw)O(n^3 \log w) time, which gives an improvement to the existing algorithm for MDFs if their input is a convex polygon.
