We study the following geometric hypergraph coloring problem: given a planar point set and an integer k, we wish to color the points with k colors so that any axis-aligned strip co...
Motivated by questions in location planning, we show for a set of colored point sites in the plane how to compute the smallest— by perimeter or area—axis-parallel rectangle and...
