A ronov has also been supported by NSA MSP Grant H98230-10-1-0210. 1 See [6] for a detailed survey of different notions of measuring similarity between geo-metric objects; is there a sensible (and relevant for our purposes) notion of closeness between a discrete unordered point set and a curve?

N2 - A balanced V-shape is a polygonal region in the plane contained in the union of two crossing equal-width strips. It is delimited by two pairs of parallel rays that emanate from two points x, y, are contained in the strip boundaries, and are mirror-symmetric with respect to the line xy. The width of a balanced V-shape is the width of the strips. We first present an O(n 2 log n) time algorithm to compute, given a set of n points P, a minimum-width balanced V-shape covering P. We then describe a PTAS for computing a (1 + ε)-approximation of this V-shape in time O((n/ε)log n + (n/ε3/2)log2(1/ε)).
