Sep 22, 2024 · In this article, we will explore the key concepts of convex and concave functions, their mathematical properties, and how to identify and apply them in various fields. We'll also look at practical examples and graphical representations.
Jul 30, 2019 · Here is a github repo on finding the concave hull for a set of points using python. My recommendation to you is the following. Create a set of points using the endpoints of each line. Then use the linked to code to generate a concave hull for these points, with some guess for the value of alpha.
Apr 12, 2024 · Inflection Point is a point of the function where the concavity of the function changes. Learn more about inflection point along with methods to find the inflection point of a function in this article.
A simple (but non-obvious) computational geometry algorithm for determining convexity is to check that every triplet of consecutive vertices is CCW. This takes just a few lines of Python geometry code (assuming that the points are provided in counterclockwise order—if points is in clockwise order, you’ll want all triplets to be clockwise):
A concave hull is visualized using the red line in the image below (the blue line visualizes the convex hull). Intuitively, it is a polygon which embraces all the points, but has less (minimal?) area compared to the convex hull. As a result, the polygon's boundary length is longer.
