Abstract

We present an efficient O(n+1/ε4.5) time algorithm for computing an (1+ε)-approximation of the minimum-volume bounding box of n points in R3. We also present a simpler algorithm (for the same purpose) whose running time is O(n log n+n/ε3). We give some experimental results with implementations of various variants of the second algorithm.
