The | Algorithms that construct [[convex hull]]s of various objects have a broad range of applications in [[mathematics]] and [[computer science]], see "[[Convex hull#Applications|Convex hull applications]]". | ||
In [[computational geometry]], numerous algorithms are proposed for computing the convex hull of a finite set of points, with various [[computational complexity|computational complexities]]. | |||
Computing the convex hull means that a non-ambiguous and efficient [[data structure|representation]] of the required convex shape is constructed. The complexity of the corresponding algorithms is usually estimated in terms of '''''n''''', the number of input points, and '''''h''''', the number of points on the convex hull. | |||
== Planar case == | |||
Consider the general case when the input to the algorithm is a finite unordered set of points on a Cartesian plane. An important special case in which the points are given in the order of traversal of a simple polygon's boundary is described later in a separate subsection. | |||
If not all points are on the same line, then their convex hull is a [[convex polygon]] whose vertices are some of the points in the input set. Its most common representation is the list of its vertices ordered along its boundary clockwise or counterclockwise. In some applications it is convenient to represent a convex polygon as an intersection of a set of [[Half-space (geometry)|half-planes]]. | |||
===Lower bound on computational complexity=== | |||
For a finite set of points in the plane the lower bound on the computational complexity of finding the convex hull represented as a convex polygon is easily shown to be the same as for [[sorting]] using the following [[reduction (complexity)|reduction]]. For the set <math>x_1,\dots,x_n</math> numbers to sort consider the set of points <math>(x_1, x^2_1),\dots,(x_n, x^2_n)</math> of points in the plane. Since they lie on a [[parabola]], which is a [[convex function|convex curve]] it is easy to see that the vertices of the convex hull, when traversed along the boundary, produce the sorted order of the numbers <math>x_1,\dots,x_n</math>. Clearly, [[linear time]] is required for the described transformation of numbers into points and then extracting their sorted order. Therefore in the general case the convex hull of ''n'' points cannot be computed more quickly than sorting. | |||
The standard Ω(''n'' log ''n'') lower bound for sorting is proven in the [[decision tree model]] of computing, in which only numerical comparisons but not arithmetic operations can be performed; however, in this model, convex hulls cannot be computed at all. Sorting also requires Ω(''n'' log ''n'') time in the [[algebraic decision tree]] model of computation, a model that is more suitable for convex hulls, and in this model convex hulls also require Ω(''n'' log ''n'') time.<ref name=ps>Preparata, Shamos, ''Computational Geometry'', Chapter "Convex Hulls: Basic Algorithms"</ref> However, in models of computer arithmetic that allow numbers to be sorted more quickly than ''O''(''n'' log ''n'') time, for instance by using [[integer sorting]] algorithms, planar convex hulls can also be computed more quickly: the [[Graham scan]] algorithm for convex hulls consists of a single sorting step followed by a linear amount of additional work. | |||
=== Optimal output-sensitive algorithms === | |||
As stated above, the complexity of finding a convex hull as a function the input size ''n'' is lower bounded by Ω(''n'' log ''n''). However, the complexity of some convex hull algorithms can be characterized in terms of both input size ''n'' and the output size ''h'' (the number of points in the hull). Such algorithms are called [[output-sensitive algorithm]]s. They may be asymptotically more efficient than Θ(''n'' log ''n'') algorithms in cases when ''h'' = ''o''(''n''). | |||
The lower bound on worst-case running time of output-sensitive convex hull algorithms was established to be Ω(''n'' log ''h'') in the planar case.<ref name="ps" /> There are several algorithms which attain this optimal [[computational complexity|time complexity]]. The earliest one was introduced by [[David G. Kirkpatrick|Kirkpatrick]] and [[Raimund Seidel|Seidel]] in 1986 (who called it "the [[ultimate convex hull algorithm]]"). A much simpler algorithm was developed by [[Timothy M. Chan|Chan]] in 1996, and is called [[Chan's algorithm]]. | |||

=== Akl-Toussaint heuristic === | |||
The following simple heuristic is often used as the first step in implementations of convex hull algorithms to improve their performance. It is based on the efficient convex hull algorithm by [[Selim Akl]] and [[G. T. Toussaint]], 1978. The idea is to quickly exclude many points that would not be part of the convex hull anyway. This method is based on the following idea. Find the two points with the lowest and highest x-coordinates, and the two points with the lowest and highest y-coordinates. (Each of these operations takes [[Big O notation|O]](''n'').) These four points form a [[quadrilateral|convex quadrilateral]], and all points that lie in this quadrilateral (except for the four initially chosen vertices) are not part of the convex hull. Finding all of these points that lie in this quadrilateral is also O(''n''), and thus, the entire operation is O(''n''). Optionally, the points with smallest and largest sums of x- and y-coordinates as well as those with smallest and largest differences of x- and y-coordinates can also be added to the quadrilateral, thus forming an irregular convex octagon, whose insides can be safely discarded. If the points are random variables, then for a wide class of probability density functions, this ''throw-away'' pre-processing step will make a convex hull algorithm run in linear expected time, even if the worst-case complexity of the convex hull algorithm is quadratic in ''n''.<ref>[[Luc Devroye]] and [[Godfried Toussaint]], "A note on linear expected time algorithms for finding convex hulls," ''Computing'', Vol. 26, 1981, pp. 361-366.</ref> | |||
===On-line and dynamic convex hull problems=== | |||
The discussion above considers the case when all input points are known in advance. One may consider two other settings.<ref name=ps/> | |||
* '''Online convex hull problem''': Input points are obtained sequentially one by one. After each point arrives on input, the convex hull for the pointset obtained so far must be efficiently computed. | |||
* '''[[Dynamic convex hull]] maintenance''': The input points may be sequentially inserted or deleted, and the convex hull must be updated after each insert/delete operation. | |||
Insertion of a point may increase the number of vertices of a convex hull at most by 1, while deletion may convert a 3-vertex convex hull into an ''n-1''-vertex one. | |||
The online version may be handled with O(log ''n'') per point, which is asymptotically optimal. The dynamic version may be handled with O(log<sup>2</sup> ''n'') per operation.<ref name=ps/> | |||
=== Simple polygon === | |||
McCallum and Avis were first to provide a correct algorithm to construct the convex hull of a [[simple polygon]] <math>v_1, ..., v_n</math> in <math>\ O(n)</math> time. The basic idea is very simple. The leftmost vertex is on the convex hull and we denote it <math>h_1</math>. The second point is assumed to be a candidate convex hull vertex as well. At each step one looks at three consecutive vertices of the polygon, with two first ones tentatively assigned to the growing convex hull and the third one is a new unprocessed vertex of the polygon, say, we denote this as <math>h_{k-1}, h_k, v_i</math>. If the angle is convex, then <math>h_{k+1} = v_i</math> and the whole triple is shifted by one vertex along the polygon. If the resulting angle is concave, then the middle point (<math>h_k</math>) is deleted and the test is repeated for the triple <math>h_{k-2}, h_{k-1}, v_i</math>, etc. until we backtrack either to a convex angle or to point <math>h_1</math>. After that the next (along the polygon) vertex is added to the triple to be tested, and the process repeats. However several previously published articles overlooked a possibility that deletion of a vertex from a polygon may result in a self-intersecting polygon, rendering further flow of the algorithm invalid. Fortunately, this case may also be handled efficiently. Later Tor and Middleditch (1984, "Convex Decomposition of Simple Polygons") and independently Melkman (1985, "Online Construction of the convex hull of a simple polyline") suggested a simpler approach with the same time complexity. | |||

For a finite set of points, the convex hull is a [[convex polyhedron]] in three dimensions, or in general a [[convex polytope]] for any number of dimensions, whose vertices are some of the points in the input set. Its representation is not so simple as in the planar case, however.

The size of the output may be exponentially larger than the size of the input, and even in cases where the input and output are both of comparable size the known algorithms for high-dimensional convex hulls are not [[output-sensitive algorithm|output-sensitive]] due both to issues with degenerate inputs and with intermediate results of high complexity.<ref>{{citation | |||

Algorithms that construct convex hulls of various objects have a broad range of applications in mathematics and computer science, see "Convex hull applications".
In computational geometry, numerous algorithms are proposed for computing the convex hull of a finite set of points, with various computational complexities.
Computing the convex hull means that a non-ambiguous and efficient representation of the required convex shape is constructed. The complexity of the corresponding algorithms is usually estimated in terms of n, the number of input points, and h, the number of points on the convex hull.
Planar case
Consider the general case when the input to the algorithm is a finite unordered set of points on a Cartesian plane. An important special case in which the points are given in the order of traversal of a simple polygon's boundary is described later in a separate subsection.
If not all points are on the same line, then their convex hull is a convex polygon whose vertices are some of the points in the input set. Its most common representation is the list of its vertices ordered along its boundary clockwise or counterclockwise. In some applications it is convenient to represent a convex polygon as an intersection of a set of half-planes.
Lower bound on computational complexity
For a finite set of points in the plane the lower bound on the computational complexity of finding the convex hull represented as a convex polygon is easily shown to be the same as for sorting using the following reduction. For the set numbers to sort consider the set of points of points in the plane. Since they lie on a parabola, which is a convex curve it is easy to see that the vertices of the convex hull, when traversed along the boundary, produce the sorted order of the numbers . Clearly, linear time is required for the described transformation of numbers into points and then extracting their sorted order. Therefore in the general case the convex hull of n points cannot be computed more quickly than sorting.
The standard Ω(n log n) lower bound for sorting is proven in the decision tree model of computing, in which only numerical comparisons but not arithmetic operations can be performed; however, in this model, convex hulls cannot be computed at all. Sorting also requires Ω(n log n) time in the algebraic decision tree model of computation, a model that is more suitable for convex hulls, and in this model convex hulls also require Ω(n log n) time.[1] However, in models of computer arithmetic that allow numbers to be sorted more quickly than O(n log n) time, for instance by using integer sorting algorithms, planar convex hulls can also be computed more quickly: the Graham scan algorithm for convex hulls consists of a single sorting step followed by a linear amount of additional work.
Optimal output-sensitive algorithms
As stated above, the complexity of finding a convex hull as a function the input size n is lower bounded by Ω(n log n). However, the complexity of some convex hull algorithms can be characterized in terms of both input size n and the output size h (the number of points in the hull). Such algorithms are called output-sensitive algorithms. They may be asymptotically more efficient than Θ(n log n) algorithms in cases when h = o(n).
The lower bound on worst-case running time of output-sensitive convex hull algorithms was established to be Ω(n log h) in the planar case.[1] There are several algorithms which attain this optimal time complexity. The earliest one was introduced by Kirkpatrick and Seidel in 1986 (who called it "the ultimate convex hull algorithm"). A much simpler algorithm was developed by Chan in 1996, and is called Chan's algorithm.
Algorithms
Known convex hull algorithms are listed below, ordered by the date of first publication. Time complexity of each algorithm is stated in terms of the number of inputs points n and the number of points on the hull h. Note that in the worst case h may be as large as n.
- Gift wrapping aka Jarvis march — O(nh)
One of the simplest (although not the most time efficient in the worst case) planar algorithms. Discovered independently by Chand & Kapur in 1970 and R. A. Jarvis in 1973. It has O(nh) time complexity, where n is the number of points in the set, and h is the number of points in the hull. In the worst case the complexity is Θ(n2).
- Graham scan — O(n log n)
A slightly more sophisticated, but much more efficient algorithm, published by Ronald Graham in 1972. If the points are already sorted by one of the coordinates or by the angle to a fixed vector, then the algorithm takes O(n) time.
- QuickHull
Discovered independently in 1977 by W. Eddy and in 1978 by A. Bykat. Just like the quicksort algorithm, it has the expected time complexity of O(n log n), but may degenerate to Θ(nh) = O(n2) in the worst case.
- Divide and conquer — O(n log n)
Another O(n log n) algorithm, published in 1977 by Preparata and Hong. This algorithm is also applicable to the three dimensional case.
- Monotone chain aka Andrew's algorithm— O(n log n)
Published in 1979 by A. M. Andrew. The algorithm can be seen as a variant of Graham scan which sorts the points lexicographically by their coordinates. When the input is already sorted, the algorithm takes O(n) time.
- Incremental convex hull algorithm — O(n log n)
Published in 1984 by Michael Kallay.
- The ultimate planar convex hull algorithm — O(n log h)
The first optimal output-sensitive algorithm, it uses technique of marriage-before-conquest. Published by Kirkpatrick and Seidel in 1986.
- Chan's algorithm — O(n log h)
A simpler optimal output-sensitive algorithm discovered by Chan in 1996.
Akl-Toussaint heuristic
The following simple heuristic is often used as the first step in implementations of convex hull algorithms to improve their performance. It is based on the efficient convex hull algorithm by Selim Akl and G. T. Toussaint, 1978. The idea is to quickly exclude many points that would not be part of the convex hull anyway. This method is based on the following idea. Find the two points with the lowest and highest x-coordinates, and the two points with the lowest and highest y-coordinates. (Each of these operations takes O(n).) These four points form a convex quadrilateral, and all points that lie in this quadrilateral (except for the four initially chosen vertices) are not part of the convex hull. Finding all of these points that lie in this quadrilateral is also O(n), and thus, the entire operation is O(n). Optionally, the points with smallest and largest sums of x- and y-coordinates as well as those with smallest and largest differences of x- and y-coordinates can also be added to the quadrilateral, thus forming an irregular convex octagon, whose insides can be safely discarded. If the points are random variables, then for a wide class of probability density functions, this throw-away pre-processing step will make a convex hull algorithm run in linear expected time, even if the worst-case complexity of the convex hull algorithm is quadratic in n.[2]
On-line and dynamic convex hull problems
The discussion above considers the case when all input points are known in advance. One may consider two other settings.[1]
- Online convex hull problem: Input points are obtained sequentially one by one. After each point arrives on input, the convex hull for the pointset obtained so far must be efficiently computed.
- Dynamic convex hull maintenance: The input points may be sequentially inserted or deleted, and the convex hull must be updated after each insert/delete operation.
Insertion of a point may increase the number of vertices of a convex hull at most by 1, while deletion may convert a 3-vertex convex hull into an n-1-vertex one.
The online version may be handled with O(log n) per point, which is asymptotically optimal. The dynamic version may be handled with O(log2 n) per operation.[1]
Simple polygon
McCallum and Avis were first to provide a correct algorithm to construct the convex hull of a simple polygon in time. The basic idea is very simple. The leftmost vertex is on the convex hull and we denote it . The second point is assumed to be a candidate convex hull vertex as well. At each step one looks at three consecutive vertices of the polygon, with two first ones tentatively assigned to the growing convex hull and the third one is a new unprocessed vertex of the polygon, say, we denote this as . If the angle is convex, then and the whole triple is shifted by one vertex along the polygon. If the resulting angle is concave, then the middle point () is deleted and the test is repeated for the triple , etc. until we backtrack either to a convex angle or to point . After that the next (along the polygon) vertex is added to the triple to be tested, and the process repeats. However several previously published articles overlooked a possibility that deletion of a vertex from a polygon may result in a self-intersecting polygon, rendering further flow of the algorithm invalid. Fortunately, this case may also be handled efficiently. Later Tor and Middleditch (1984, "Convex Decomposition of Simple Polygons") and independently Melkman (1985, "Online Construction of the convex hull of a simple polyline") suggested a simpler approach with the same time complexity.
Higher dimensions
A number of algorithms are known for the three-dimensional case, as well as for arbitrary dimensions. See http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~lambert/java/3d/hull.html. See also David Mount's Lecture Notes for comparison. Refer to Lecture 4 for the latest developments, including Chan's algorithm. QuickHull is also used for computation of the convex hull in higher dimensions.[3]
For a finite set of points, the convex hull is a convex polyhedron in three dimensions, or in general a convex polytope for any number of dimensions, whose vertices are some of the points in the input set. Its representation is not so simple as in the planar case, however. In higher dimensions, even if the vertices of a convex polytope are known, construction of its faces is a non-trivial task, as is the dual problem of constructing the vertices given the faces. The size of the output may be exponentially larger than the size of the input, and even in cases where the input and output are both of comparable size the known algorithms for high-dimensional convex hulls are not output-sensitive due both to issues with degenerate inputs and with intermediate results of high complexity.[4]
