Subject: [Caml-list] do we have a (fast) diameter of a point set implementation out there?
Date: Fri, 19 Jan 2018 14:53:53 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ced417c3-0116-f8b3-d52c-88943c5ddf85@bioreg.kyushu-u.ac.jp> (raw)

Hello,

Provided that a distance function between points is known,
is there some open source OCaml implementation out there?

I would be fine with an exact (but efficient) algorithm, or a less
exact one that guarantees a max error bound on the diameter that is found.

Here is one exact algorithm example: "Computing the Diameter of a Point
Set", Gregoire Malandain and Jean-Daniel Boissonnat
https://hal.inria.fr/file/index/docid/72354/filename/RR-4233.pdf

Currently, I am using a heuristic for my problem, but
if I had access to an exact algorithm, I would give it a try.

Thanks,
Francois.
