Abstract

Given n points in d -dimensional space, we would like to connect the points with straight line segments to form a connected graph whose edges use d pairwise perpendicular directions. We prove that there exists at most one such set of directions. For d = 2 we present an algorithm for computing these directions (if they exist) in O (n 2) time.
