A fixed parameter algorithm for the minimum number convex partition problem

Author

Summary, in English

Given an input consisting of an n-vertex convex polygon with k hole vertices or an n-vertex planar straight line graph (PSLG) with k holes and/or reflex vertices inside the convex hull, the parameterized minimum number convex partition (MNCP) problem asks for a partition into a minimum number of convex pieces. We give a fixed-parameter tractable algorithm for this problem that runs in the following time complexities: - linear time if k is constant, - time polynomial in n if k = 0(log/log log n), or, to be exact, in O(n
