Abstract(in English) This paper studies the geodesic diameter in polygonal domains having h holes and n corners. For simple polygons (i.e., h=0), it is known that the geodesic diameter is determined by a pair of corners of a given polygon and can be computed in linear time. For general polygonal domains with h〓1, however, there was no known algorithm for computing the geodesic diameter prior to this paper. We present the first algorithms that compute the geodesic diameter of a given polygonal domain in either O(n^<7.73>) or O(n^7(log n+h)) time. The algorithms are based on our new geometric observations, a part of which states as follows: the geodesic diameter of a polygonal domain can be determined by two points in its interior, and in that case there are at least five shortest paths between the two points. This article is a technical report without peer review, and its polished version will be published elsewhere.
