An Extremely Fast Minimum Spanning Circle Algorithm

B.J. Oommen

Abstract

We consider the century old problem of finding the Minimum Spanning Circle (MSC) of N points in the plane. We propose a computational scheme which incorporates the ideas which motivate three of the best algorithms known. The technique converges in finite time and is extremely fast.
