Abstract

This paper presents an algorithm for convex polygon decomposition around a given set of locations. Given an n-vertex convex polygon Pand a set Xof kpoints positioned arbitrarily inside P, the task is to divide Pinto kequal area convex parts, each containing exactly one point of X. The problem is motivated by a terrain covering task for a swarm of autonomous mobile robots. The algorithm runs in time O(kn+ k2logk).
