Abstract

We consider the problem of simplifying an n-vertex polygonal chain with small angle constraints in R3, arising in flight planning. Specifically, we give an algorithm that solves the min-# version of the polygonal chain simplification problem with small angle constraints in O(n2 log n) time, O(n2) space in R3, thus matching the time and space complexities of the solutions for large angle constraints and for the unconstrained problem. The algorithm uses known data structures and admits efficient implementation.
