Abstract

Given a set R of red points and a set B of blue points in the plane, we study the problem of determining all angles for which there exists an L-shape containing all points from B and no points from R . We propose a worst-case optimal algorithm to solve this problem in O(n2) time and O(n) storage, where n=|R|+|B|. We also describe an output-sensitive algorithm that reports these angles in O(n^{8/5+e} +klogk) time and O(n^{8/5+e}) storage, where k is the number of reported angular intervals and e>0 is any fixed constant.
