Let P and Q denote two convex polygons. The computational complexity of finding the minimum and maximum distance possible between two points p in P and q in Q is studied. An algorithm is described that determines the minimum distance (together with points p and q that realize it) in O(logm + logn) time, where m and n denote the number of vertices of P and Q, respectively. This is optimal in the worst case. For computing the maximum distance, a lower bound Ω(m + n) is proved. This bound is also shown to be best possible by establishing an upper bound of O(m + n).","lang":"eng"}],"publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1090-2678"],"issn":["0196-6774"]},"oa_version":"None","extern":"1","status":"public","article_type":"original","date_created":"2018-12-11T12:07:01Z","citation":{"apa":"Edelsbrunner, H.
