Abstract

We present a near-quadratic algorithm for computing the center regionof a set of n points in three dimensions. This is nearly tight inthe worst case since the center region can have Ω(n2) complexity. We then consider the problem of recognizing whether a given point q is a colored Tverberg point of a set of n colored points in the plane, and present the first polynomial-time algorithm for this problem.
