Abstract

In general, finding a line stabber for a family of n objects in the plane takes &ohgr;(n log n) time. However, we show how to find a line stabber for a family of n pairwise disjoint convex translates in the plane in linear time. Our algorithm still runs in optimal &Ogr; (n log n) time when the translates are not pairwise disjoint.
