Let S be a set of n points in \reals 3 . Let \opt be the width (i.e., thickness) of a minimum-width infinite cylindrical shell (the region between two co-axial cylinders) containing S . We first present an O(n 5 ) -time algorithm for computing \opt , which as far as we know is the first nontrivial algorithm for this problem. We then present an O(n 2+ ) -time algorithm, for any >0 , that computes a cylindrical shell of width at most 56\opt containing S . |
