A Linear Time Algorithm for the Maximum Overlap of Two Convex Polygons Under Translation

Authors: Timothy M. Chan and Isaac M. Hair

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 332, 41st International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2025)

Abstract

Given two convex polygons P and Q with n and m edges, the maximum overlap problem is to find a translation of P that maximizes the area of its intersection with Q. We give the first randomized algorithm for this problem with linear running time. Our result improves the previous two-and-a-half-decades-old algorithm by de Berg, Cheong, Devillers, van Kreveld, and Teillaud (1998), which ran in O((n+m)log(n+m)) time, as well as multiple recent algorithms given for special cases of the problem.

Maximum Overlap Area of a Convex Polyhedron and a Convex Polygon Under Translation

Authors: Honglin Zhu and Hyuk Jun Kweon

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 258, 39th International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2023)

Abstract

Let P be a convex polyhedron and Q be a convex polygon with n vertices in total in three-dimensional space. We present a deterministic algorithm that finds a translation vector v ∈ ℝ³ maximizing the overlap area |P ∩ (Q + v)| in O(n log² n) time. We then apply our algorithm to solve two related problems. We give an O(n log³ n) time algorithm that finds the maximum overlap area of three convex polygons with n vertices in total. We also give an O(n log² n) time algorithm that minimizes the symmetric difference of two convex polygons under scaling and translation.
