Problem
Say I have a set of points on a 2d plane, how do I find the point(s) where the maximum euclidian distance to any of the points in the set is minimized?
Solution
This is the smallest enclosing circle problem, and can be solved in linear time. Also, these slides describe a randomized algorithm that runs in expected linear time.
