Convexifying Polygons in 3D: a Survey (2008)

Michael Soss,
Godfried T. Toussaint

Abstract

To convexify a polygon is to reconfigure it with respect to a given set of operations until the polygon becomes convex. The problem of convexifying polygons has had a long history in a variety of fields, including mathematics, kinematics and physical chemistry. We survey its history throughout these disciplines.
