Abstract

We establish a tight bound on the worst-case combinatorial complexity of the farthest-color Voronoi diagram of line segments in the plane. More precisely, given k sets of total n line segments, the combinatorial complexity of the farthest-color Voronoi diagram is shown to be Θ(kn+h) in the worst case, under any Lp metric with 1≤p≤∞, where h is the number of crossings between the n line segments. We also show that the diagram can be computed in optimal O((kn+h)logn) time under the L1 or L∞ metric, or in O((kn+h) (α(k) logk+logn)) time under the Lp metric for any 1
