The paper also considers the maximization of the sum of distances between all pairs of vertices of equilateral unit-width convex polygons. ...
The paper answers the three distinct questions of maximizing the perimeter, diameter and area of equilateral unit-width convex polygons. ...
The values represent the upper and lower bounds of the width of an equilateral convex polygon with unit-perimeter, unit-diameter, unit-area or unit sum of distances. ...

We show that the same time lower bound holds for the tasks of detecting whether a convex n-gon lies inside another as well as for computing the maximum distance between two convex n-gons. ...
Finally, we show that for two separable convex n-gons P and Q, the task of computing the minimum distance between P and Q can be performed in O(1) time on a mesh with multiple broadcasting of size n n. ...
