Abstract

Consider the two-dimensional sorted-set convex hull problem: Given N points in a plane sorted by the x coordinates, compute the convex hull of the points. We propose an O(logNlog logN)-time algorithm that solves the sorted-set convex hull problem on an N\ulcorner\ulcorner${\times}$N\ulcorner\ulcorner reconfigurable mesh. The best known algorithm for the problem on an N\ulcorner\ulcorner${\times}$N\ulcorner\ulcorner reconfigurable mesh takes O(log\ulcornerN) time. Although there is a constant-time algorithm on an N${\times}$N reconfigurable mesh for general two-dimensional convex hull problem, the general convex hull problem requires Θ(N\ulcorner\ulcorner) time on an N\ulcorner\ulcorner${\times}$N\ulcorner\ulcorner reconfigurable mesh due to bandwidth constraints.
