Abstract

In this paper, we give an algorithm for output-sensitn construction of an f-face polytope that is defined by halfspaces in E4. Our algorithm runs in O((n + /)log2 ) time and uses 0(n + f) space. This is the first algorithi within a polylogarithmic factor of optimal 0(n logf/ + f) time over the whole range of f. By a standard liftir map, we obtain output-sensitive algorithms for the Voroni diagram or Delaunay triangulation in E3 and for the portic of a Voronoi diagram that is clipped to a convex polytop Our approach also simplifies the "ultimate convex hn algorithm" of Kirkpatrick and Seidel in E2.
