Abstract (Summary of the Work)

The problem of randomly generating simple polygons is of considerable im- portance in the practical evaluation of algorithms that operate on polygons by generating test instances, where it is necessary to check the correctness and to determine the CPU- consumption of an algorithm ezperimentally.Till now no polynomial solution for uniformly random generation of polłygon is known. Auer and Held2), considered a class.of heuristics for this problem. In this thesis, we present an algorithm for the generation of simple random polygon in random manner after a prepro- cessing which takes O(n3logn) time. Though the worst time required to generate a polygon may be O(n3,) the actual CPU time needed for the generation is very less.We also considered finding the visibility graph of those generated random simple polygons which will be helpful for many problems. We considered already ezisting algorithms for this purpose
