Abstract

The area of computational geometry deals with the study of algorithms for problems concerning geometric objects like e.g. lines, polygons, circles, etc. in the plane and in higher dimensional space. Since its introduction in 1976 by Shamos the field has developed rapidly and nowadays there are even special conferences and journals devoted to the topic. A list of publications by Edelsbrunner and van Leeuwen [6] collected in 1982 already contained over 650 papers. And this number has rapidly increased since then.
