Why does nobody refer to the following publication: "A Linear Time Algorithm for the Minimum Area Rectangle Enclosing a Convex Polygon", by Arnon, Dennis S. and Gieselmann, John P., Tech. Report from Purdue University, 1983. Is it flawed in any way? Unable to detect username

  • Because it looks like Freeman and Shapira had already solved this problem in 1975..? Their algorithm has complexity n ln n as I recall, which it is acceptable to refer to as 'Linear Time'. Please sign your edits with four tildes.. Zargulon (talk) 21:16, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
