\begin{ccPkgDescription}{Geometric Optimisation \label{Pkg:Optimisation}} \ccPkgHowToCiteCgal{cgal:fghhps-go-06} \ccPkgSummary{ This package provides algorithms for computing bounding volumes, inscribed areas and polytope distances. The algorithms for bounding volumes for point sets in d-dimensional space are: the smallest enclosing sphere, annulus, ellipsoid, or strip. For 2-dimensional space, a number of additional volumes (rectangles, parallelograms, $k=2,3,4$ axis-aligned rectangles) are available. The smallest enclosing sphere algorithm can also be applied on a set of d-dimensional spheres. The algorithms for computing inscribed areas are: the largest inscribed k-gon (area or perimeter) of a convex point set and the largest inscribed rectangle. The polytope distance algorithm computes the distance between the convex hulls of two point sets in d-dimensional space, without explicitely constructing the convex hulls. Finally this package offers a matrix search framework, which is the underlying machinery of some of the algorithms of this package.} %\ccPkgDependsOn{} \ccPkgIntroducedInCGAL{1.1} \ccPkgLicense{\ccLicenseQPL} \end{ccPkgDescription}
