Abstract

In this paper, we study a kinetic version of the red-blue minimum separating circle problem, in which some points move with constant speed along straight line trajectories. We want to find the locus of the minimum separating circle over a period of time. We first consider two degenerate cases of this problem. In the first one (P1), we study the minimum separating circle problem with only one mobile blue point, and in the second one (P2), we study the minimum separating circle problem with only one mobile red point. Then, we give a solution for the general case (P3), in which multiple points are mobile.
