Abstract

Given a set of n points in some d-dimensional Euclidean space, each point colored with one of k( 驴 2) colors, a bichromatic closest (resp., farthest) pair is a closest (resp., farthest) pair of points of different colors. We present efficient algorithms to compute a bichromatic closest pair and a bichromatic farthest pair. We consider both static, and dynamic versions with respect to color flips. We also give some combinatorial bounds on the multiplicities of extreme distances in this setting.
