Let P be a set of n points in the plane. The points of P are given one point at a time. After receiving eachpoint, we compute the convex hull of the points seen so far. (a) As a naive approach, we could run Graham’s scan once after receiving each point, with a total runningtime of O(n2log n). Write down the psuedo-code for this algorithm
We have learned the algorithm that solves the Closest pair problem in 2D in Θ(n log n) time. (Closest pair problem in 2D: Given n points in the 2D plane, find a pair with smallest Euclidean distance between them.) Give an algorithm that solves the Closest pair problem in 3D in Θ(n log n) time. (Closest pair problem in 3D: Given n points in the 3D space, find a pair with smallest Euclidean distance between them.)
