Separating Colored Points with Minimum Number of Rectangles

Abstract

In this paper we study the following problem: Given k disjoint sets of points, P1, …, Pk on the plane, find a minimum cardinality set T of arbitrary rectangles such that each rectangle contains points of just one set Pi but not the others. We prove the NP-hardness of this problem.
