Minimal enclosing parallelepiped in 3D
Résumé
We investigate the problem of finding a minimal volume parallelepiped enclosing a given set of n three-dimensional points. We give two mathematical properties of these parallelepipeds, from which we derive two algorithms of theoretical complexity O(n^6). Experiments show that in practice our quickest algorithm runs in O(n^2) (at least for $n \leq 10^5$n 10^5). We also present our application in structural biology.
