Q.

Which of the following factors account more to the cost of Chan’s algorithm?

A. computing a single convex hull
B. locating points that constitute a hull
C. computing convex hull in groups
D. merging convex hulls
Answer» C. computing convex hull in groups
Explanation: the majority of the cost of the algorithm lies in the pre-processing (i.e.) computing convex hull in groups. to reduce cost, we reuse convex hulls from previous iterations.
