Geometric Optimization
Reference Manual

Kaspar Fischer, Bernd Gärtner, Thomas Herrmann, Michael Hoffmann, Eli Packer, and Sven Schönherr

This chapter describes concepts, classes, and functions for solving geometric optimization problems. They are divided into four categories.

Bounding Areas and Volumes. Smallest enclosing circle and ellipse (2D), smallest enclosing rectangle, parallelogram, and strip (2D), rectangular p-center (2D), smallest enclosing sphere and annulus (dD), approximate minimum-volume enclosing ellipsoid with user-specified approximation ratio (dD).

Inscribed Areas. Maximum area and perimeter inscribed k-gon (2D), extremal inscribed k-gon (2D), largest empty isorectangle (2D).

Optimal Distances. All furthest neigbors (2D), width of point set (3D), polytope distance (dD).

Advanced Techniques. Monotone and sorted matrix search.

Assertions

The optimization code uses infix OPTIMISATION in the assertions, e.g. defining the compiler flag CGAL_OPTIMISATION_NO_PRECONDITIONS switches precondition checking off, cf. Section .
