Abstract : We show that the union of n translates of a convex body in R3 can have Θ(n3) holes in the worst case, where a hole in a set X is a connected component of R3\X. This refutes a 20-year-old conjecture. As a consequence, we also obtain improved lower bounds on the complexity of motion planning problems and of Voronoi diagrams with convex distance functions.
Keywords : Union complexity Convex sets Motion planning
