Abstract
We give efficient algorithms for constructing a bridge between two convex regions in a fixed dimensional space so that the diameter of the bridged region is minimized. If both the set of vertices and the set of halfspaces defining the facets of the convex regions are given, we have an optimal linear time algorithm. If only vertices are given, we give a subquadratic time algorithm, and if only halfspaces are given, we give a quadratic time algorithm.
