Optimal polygon placement by translation

Let M be an m-sided simple polygon and N be an n-sided polygon with holes. In this paper we consider the problem of computing the feasible region, i.e., the set of all placements by translation of M so that M lies inside N without intersecting any hole. First we propose an O (mn(2)) time algorithm for computing the feasible region for the case when M is a monotone polygon. Then we consider the general case when M is a simple polygon and propose an O(m(2)n(2)) time algorithm for computing the feasible region. Both algorithms are optimal upto a constant factor
