On Polygonal Chain Approximation

Avraham Melkman, Joseph O'ROURKE

Imai and Iri recently described a clever algorithm for approximating a polygonal chain within a given tolerance. Their algorithm requires O(n3) time in the worst case. In this note it is shown that their algorithm can be improved to O (n2logn) by exploiting the geometrical constraints of the problem.
