ABSTRACT

A bibliography of 370 references of books, papers in serial journals, and conference papers, on convexity in relation to computer science is presented. The subject is divided into five topics: (1) convexity and straightness in digital images; (2) convex hull algorithms and their complexity; (3) other computational problems related to convexity; (4) miscellaneous applications; and (5) general mathematical sources. These references range in time from 1961 to September 1988.
