Abstract

Given a set S of n disjoint convex polygons {Pi1in} in a plane, each with ki vertices, the transversal problem is to find, if there exists one, a straight line that goes through every polygon in S. We show that the transversal problem can be solved in O(N+nlogn) time, where N=∑i=1nki is the total number of vertices of the polygons.
