Abstract

We improve the best known bound on the rectilinear link radius of a simple rectilinear polygon with respect to its rectilinear link diameter. The new bound is tight and is compatible with the known bound on the (regular) link radius of a (regular) simple polygon with respect to its (regular) link diameter. The previous bound on the rectilinear link radius of a simple rectilinear polygon was proven by Nilsson and Schuierer in 1991.
