Abstract Let P be a set of n points in the plane. We compute the value of θ ∈ [0, 2π) for which the rectilinear convex hull of P, denoted by RH P (θ ), has minimum (or maximum) area in optimal O(n log n) time and O(n) space, improving the previous O(n 2 ) bound. Let O be a set of k lines through the origin sorted by slope and let αi be the sizes of the 2k angles defined by pairs of two consecutive lines, i = 1, . . . , 2k. Let i = π − αi and = min{i : i = 1, . . . , 2k}. We obtain: (1) Given a set O such that ≥ π2 , we provide an algorithm to compute the O-convex hull of P in optimal O(n log n) time and O(n) space; If n n < π2 , the time and space complexities are O( log n) and O( ) respectively. (2) Given a π set O such that ≥ 2 , we compute and maintain the boundary of the Oθ -convex hull of P n for θ ∈ [0, 2π) in O(kn log n) time and O(kn) space, or if < π2 , in O(k log n) time and n π O(k ) space. (3) Finally, given a set O such that ≥ 2 , we compute, in O(kn log n) time and O(kn) space, the angle θ ∈ [0, 2π) such that the Oθ -convex hull of P has minimum (or maximum) area over all θ ∈ [0, 2π).

1 Introduction Restricted-orientation convexity is a generalization of traditional convexity that stems from the notion of restricted-orientation geometry, where the geometric objects under study comply with restrictions related to a fixed set of orientations. Restricted-orientation geometry
