...5 are taken from Preparata, Hong (1977); another presentation of the same algorithms can be found in Preparata, Shamos (1985). The variation of their two-dimensional algorithm described in Section 8.3.2 guarantees running time O( n) if the points are presorted; this feature is not shared by the original design. The presentation of the three-dimensional algorithm in Section 8.5 is the first complete description of the algorithm given in the literature. Until now, it has not been overlooked that a single vertex of a recursively constructed convex polytope can be encountered more than once when it is merged with another disjoint convex polytope. Due to the close relationship between convex hulls in three dimensions and Voronoi diagrams in two dimensions, it is not surprising that the corresponding phenomenon was overlooked in the analysis of divide-and-conquer algorithms for constructing Voronoi diagrams (see Shamos (1978), Lee (1978), Preparata, Shamos (1985), and others)....

...introduced in [ 29 ]* to arbitrary probability distributions on E”. For a fixed distribution, an E-transversal for R is a finite set of points N G E” such that every region in R of probability at least E contains at least one point in N. Se:ction A2 uses the notion of an c-transversal to provide the primary machinery for Theorem 2.1, following [29] and [62]....

...More generally, we characterize the classes of ranges for which there exists a function f(E) for e S0 such that any finite point set A has an e-net of size f(e), independently of the size of A. These are precisely the classes of ranges with finite Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension, known as Vapnik-Chervonenkis classes [ 17 ], [9], [19], [1]....

...Example 5. Let A be a set of n points in E 2. Since the dimension of (E 2, H~-) is 2, the results in [ 17, Theorem 2 ] show that there exists a 0.01-approximation V of A for positive half-planes (and thus for all half-planes) with I VI = 2,525,039....

...Now the assertion can be seen as the dual formulation of Caratheodry's theorem (see [ 15 ], Theorem 2.3.5), which states that if a point x is in the convex hull of a set A in E d, then there exists a subset A' of A such that JA'I -< d + 1 and x is in the convex hull of A'. []...
