We reflect upon an analogue of the cut locus, a notion classically studied in Differential Geometry, for finite graphs. The cut locus C(x) of a vertex x shall be the graph induced by the set of all vertices y with the property that no shortest path between x and z, z 6= y, contains y. The cut locus coincides with the graph induced by the vertices realizing the local maxima of the distance funct...

In this paper we discuss farthest-point problems in which a set or sequence S of n points in the plane is given in advance and can be preprocessed to answer various queries efficiently. First, we give a data structure that can be used to compute the point farthest from a query line segment in O(log2 n) time. Our data structure needs O(n logn) space and preprocessing time. To the best of our kno...

Let be a set of points in convex position in . The farthest-point Voronoi diagram of partitions into convex cells. We consider the intersection of the diagram with the boundary of the convex hull of . We give an algorithm that computes an implicit representation of in expected time. More precisely, we compute the combinatorial structure of , the coordinates of its vertices, and the equation of ...

given a set  of  points in the plane and a constant ,-center problem is to find two closed disks which each covers the whole , the diameter of the bigger one is minimized, and the distance of the two centers is at least . constrained -center problem is the -center problem in which the centers are forced to lie on a given line . in this paper, we first introduce -center problem and its constrain...

In this paper, we consider the concepts co-farthest points innormed linear spaces. At first, we define farthest points, farthest orthogonalityin normed linear spaces. Then we define co-farthest points, co-remotal sets,co-uniquely sets and co-farthest maps. We shall prove some theorems aboutco-farthest points, co-remotal sets. We obtain a necessary and coecient conditions...

In this paper, we prove that if E is an uniquely remotal subset of a real normed linear space such has Chebyshev center c ∈ and the farthest point map F : → restricted to [c, (c)] p...

We propose an implicit representation for the farthest Voronoi Diagram of a set P of n points in the plane lying outside a set R of m disjoint axes-parallel rectangular obstacles. The distances are measured according to the L1 shortest path (geodesic) metric. In particular, we design a data structure of size O(N) in O(N log N) time that supports O(N logN)-time farthest point queries (where N = ...

Let A be a nonempty closed subset (resp. nonempty bounded closed subset) of a metric space (X, d) and x ∈ X \ A. The nearest point problem (resp. the farthest point problem) w.r.t. x considered here is to find a point a0 ∈ A such that d(x, a0) = inf{d(x, a) : a ∈ A} (resp. d(x, a0) = sup{d(x, a) : a ∈ A}). We study the well posedness of nearest point problems and farthest point problems in geod...
