Abstract

Let P be a set of points in the plane and let T be a maximum-weight spanning tree of P. For an edge (p, q), let be the diametral disk induced by (p, q), i.e., the disk having the segment as its diameter. Let be the set of the diametral disks induced by the edges of T. In this paper, we show that one point is sufficient to pierce all the disks in, thus, the set is Helly. Actually, we show that the center of the smallest enclosing circle of P is contained in all the disks of, and thus the piercing point can be computed in linear time.
