Abstract

Given n points in the plane, we present algorithms for rinding maximum perimeter or area convex k-gons with vertices k of the given n points. Our algorithms work in linear space and time O(kn lgn + n lg2n). For the special case k = 3 we give O(n lg n) algorithms for these problems. Several related issues arc discussed.
