The Convex Hull of Points on a Sphere is a Spanner
نویسندگان
چکیده
Let S be a finite set of points on the unit-sphere S. In 1987, Raghavan suggested that the convex hull of S is a Euclidean t-spanner, for some constant t. We prove that this is the case for t = 3π(π/2 + 1)/2. Our proof consists of generalizing the proof of Dobkin et al. [2] from the Euclidean Delaunay triangulation to the spherical Delaunay triangulation.

Sweep Line Algorithm for Convex Hull Revisited
Convex hull of some given points is the intersection of all convex sets containing them. It is used as primary structure in many other problems in computational geometry and other areas like image processing, model identification, geographical data systems, and triangular computation of a set of points and so on. Computing the convex hull of a set of point is one of the most fundamental and imp...
متن کاملA Plane 1.88-Spanner for Points in Convex Position
Let S be a set of n points in the plane that is in convex position. For a real number t > 1, we say that a point p in S is t-good if for every point q of S, the shortest-path distance between p and q along the boundary of the convex hull of S is at most t times the Euclidean distance between p and q. We prove that any point that is part of (an approximation to) the diameter of S is 1.88-good. U...
متن کاملA cone theoretic Krein-Milman theorem in semitopological cones
In this paper, a Krein-Milman type theorem in $T_0$ semitopological cone is proved, in general. In fact, it is shown that in any locally convex $T_0$ semitopological cone, every convex compact saturated subset is the compact saturated convex hull of its extreme points, which improves the results of Larrecq.
متن کاملL-CONVEX SYSTEMS AND THE CATEGORICAL ISOMORPHISM TO SCOTT-HULL OPERATORS
The concepts of $L$-convex systems and Scott-hull spaces are proposed on frame-valued setting. Also, we establish the categorical isomorphism between $L$-convex systems and Scott-hull spaces. Moreover, it is proved that the category of $L$-convex structures is bireflective in the category of $L$-convex systems. Furthermore, the quotient systems of $L$-convex systems are studied.
متن کاملConvex HullsSurface Mapping onto a Sphere
Writing an uncomplicated, robust, and scalable three-dimensional convex hull algorithm is challenging and problematic. This includes, coplanar and collinear issues, numerical accuracy, performance, and complexity trade-offs. While there are a number of methods available for finding the convex hull based on geometric calculations, such as, the distance between points, but do not address the tech...
