Abstract. We study some minimum-area hull problems that generalize the notion of convex hull to starshaped and monotone hulls. Specifically, we consider the minimum-area star-shap...

Given a set P of n points in the plane, we wish to find a set Q P of k points for which the convex hull conv(Q) has the minimum area. We solve this, and the related problem of fi...
We present a new optimization technique that yields the first FPTAS for several geometric problems. These problems reduce to optimizing a sum of non-negative, constant description...
