Abstract

Let P be a set of 2n points in the plane, and let M"C (resp., M"N"C) denote a bottleneck matching (resp., a bottleneck non-crossing matching) of P. We study the problem of computing M"N"C. We first prove that the problem is NP-hard and does not admit a PTAS. Then, we present an O(n^1^.^5log^0^.^5n)-time algorithm that computes a non-crossing matching M of P, such that bn(M)=
