Title
Efficient algorithm for approximating maximum inscribed sphere in high dimensional polytope
Abstract
In this paper, we consider the problem of computing a maximum inscribed sphere inside a high dimensional polytope formed by a set of halfspaces (or linear constraints) and with bounded aspect ratio, and present an efficient algorithm for computing a (1−ε)-approximation of the sphere. More specifically, given any aspect-ratio-bounded polytope P defined by n d-dimensional halfspaces, an interior point O of P, and a constant ε0, our algorithm computes in O(nd/ε3) time a sphere inside P with a radius no less than (1−ε)Ropt, where Ropt is the radius of a maximum inscribed sphere of P. Our algorithm is based on the core-set concept and a number of interesting geometric observations. Our result solves a special case of an open problem posted by Khachiyan and Todd [13].
