Abstract
We consider the problem of translating a given pattern set
B of size m, and matching every point of B to
some point of a larger ground set A of size n
in an injective way, minimizing the sum of the squared distances between
matched points. We show that when B
can only be translated along a
line, there can be at most m(n - m) + 1 different matchings as
B moves along the line, and hence the optimal translation can be
found in polynomial time.
