//  INFORMATION REGARDING THE CONTRIBUTION:
//
//  Author: Ovidiu Parvu
//  Affiliation: Brunel University
//  Created: 11.09.2013
//  E-mail: <ovidiu.parvu[AT]gmail.com>
//  Web: http://people.brunel.ac.uk/~cspgoop
//
//  These functions were implemented during Ovidiu Parvu's first year as a PhD student at
//  Brunel University, London, UK. The PhD project is supervised by prof. David Gilbert (principal)
//  and prof. Nigel Saunders (second).
//
//  THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MODULES IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING PAPERS:
//
//  [1] V. Klee and M. C. Laskowski, "Finding the smallest triangles containing a given convex
//  polygon", Journal of Algorithms, vol. 6, no. 3, pp. 359-375, Sep. 1985.
//  [2] J. O'Rourke, A. Aggarwal, S. Maddila, and M. Baldwin, "An optimal algorithm for finding
//  minimal enclosing triangles", Journal of Algorithms, vol. 7, no. 2, pp. 258-269, Jun. 1986.
//
//  The overall complexity of the algorithm is theta(n) where "n" represents the number
//  of vertices in the convex polygon.
