Algorithms for ball hulls and ball intersections in normed planes

<p>Extending results of Hershberger and Suri for the Euclidean plane, we show that ball hulls and ball intersections of sets of $n$ points in normed planes can be constructed in $O(n \log n)$ time. In addition, we confirm that the 2-center problem with constrained circles for arbitrary normed...
