Abstract

We present two algorithms for packing two largest disks in a polygon. The first algorithm locates two disks in a simple polygon in time O(n log2 n) improving the best previous deterministic result (Bespamyatnikh, 1999) by a factor of log n. The second algorithm finds two disks in a convex polygon such that the disks are separated by a diagonal of the polygon. It runs in time O(n log2 n) improving previous result (Kim et al., 2000) by a linear factor.
