Minimum Spanning Ellipsoids

  • Mark J. Post

The notion of a minimum spanning ellipsoid in any dimension is explained. Basic definitions and theorems provide the ideas for an algorithm to find the minimum spanning ellipsoid of a set of points, i.e., the ellipsoid of minimum volume containing the set. The run-time of the algorithm O (n 2 ) independent of dimension, where n is the number of points.

A Minimum Spanning Ellipse Algorithm

  • Mark J. Post

An algorithm to find the minimum spanning ellipse of a convex set of points in the plane, i. e. , the ellipse of minimum area containing the set, is described. The result for higher dimensions is suggested, along with a brief discussion of possible applications.
