Abstract

We give a simple O(nlogn) algorithm to compute the convex hull of the (possibly @Q(n^2)) intersection points in an arrangement of n line segments in the plane. We also show an arrangement of dn hyperplanes in d-dimensions whose arrangement has @Q(n^d^-^1) intersection points on the convex hull.
