Abstract
In this paper we present an Ω(nlog n) lower bound proof for several covering problems including the optimal line bipartition problem, min-max covering by two axis parallel rectangles, discrete and continuous two-center problems, two-line center problem, etc. Our proofs are based on using the 'rotational reduce technique' and well-known lower bound for the maximal gap problem.
