Computing a ham-sandwich cut in two dimensions

Let B be a set of nb black points and W a set of nw, white points in the Euclidean plane. A line h is said to bisect B (or W) if, at most, half of the points of B (or W) lie on any one side of h. A line that bisects both B and W is called a ham-sandwich cut of B and W. We give an algorithm that computes a ham-sandwich cut of B and W in 0((nh+nw) log (min {nb, nw}+ 1)) time. The algorithm is considerably simpler than the previous most efficient one which takes 0((nb + nw) log (nb + nw)) time
